Oh my!  What a weekend it was.  SO much laughter, SO many stories, SO much fun.  I honestly don’t even know where to begin.

Personally, I love looking at wedding pictures more than anything, so I’ll get to those in a minute!

But first, let’s start with Wednesday.  After my sister picked me up from the airport, we headed to Taco Bell to grab some dinner.  I hadn’t had TB in over 6 months, and I’m not going to lie, it was good.  Haha.

On Thursday, I worked from home during the day.  Let’s just say that working from home when your entire family is also home is not the easiest thing to do!  However, my mom made it a tad bit better by serving me some random food every 30 minutes or so.

So, this wedding was extra special because it brought together two different cultures and people from all over the world.  It was the wedding of my cousin’s daughter Niyati and her now husband Allen.  Niyati and Allen had all the traditional Indian wedding events but chose to have a more western reception.  Like I said, so much fun!

Mehndhi/Henna night

 

Friday was the vidhi (religious ceremony).

After the vidhi, we drove to the airport to pick up Vishnu!  YAY!

On Saturday morning, we woke up bright and early to get ready for the wedding.

And finally, on Saturday night we got all dolled up for the reception!

And a few people asked about my hair at the reception.  I can’t claim any credit…all credit goes to my mom.  She is seriously a jack of all trades.  All I had to say was, “I want a side bun,” and she made it happen…beautifully!  Here are some pictures of the back.

Thanks, momma!

Well, this is how my family does weddings in a nutshell!  We are a loud, crazy bunch but we sure know how to have fun!  I can’t wait for the next one!
