Christian and Hindu Wedding

Thought I would post some photos from Jessica's wedding. Here's rhagu and jessica at the christian wedding reception. He cried when she walked down the aisle and she looked amazing in that dress. It got a little chilly later in the evening so myself and one of the other bridesmaids made a run to 7-11 for hot chocolate.


This is Jess getting the tradition of mehindi done. It is done with henna on the fronts and backs of her hands and lower arms and the tops of her feet. Apparently the darker it stains the skin the more happiness and children you will have in the marriage.



So the Hindu wedding was 5 hours long which included many purification rituals for the couple and a full indian lunch. This photo is of the actual wedding part which is when rhagu ties a necklace, that has been blessed, around jessica's neck.



The sari that jessica is wearing in this photo is a 9 yard silk sari with real thread of gold. Rhagu's family also gave a 6 yard silk sari with thread of gold to jessica's mom. They were both amazingly beautiful. The sari I'm wearing was the bridesmaids outfits. I was a little skeptical of the color when Jess told me but we all looked amazing in them.
