Were were honored to be invited to two Indian weddings this past week. The experience was unforgettable. To recap, briefly, the weddings were Muslim and the brides were arranged a few months ago. The two brothers, Ather and Rahman, celebrated their marriages in style with beautiful brides, delicious food, a loud and enthusiastic band (drums) and dancing. Tradition dictates that the men and women stay separate. The brides' side of the event included sparkles and bangles beyond belief! Beautiful sarees, gold, and all kinds of jewelry on the wrists, ankles, hair and neckline.
Truly dazzling.
Enjoy the pictures below. They only begin to capture the variety of color and infinite amount of sparkle experienced on these evenings. 
Dressing up for the wedding was fun! Looking forward to the next time.
 We tried to fit in as much as possible with our attire. Our attire was perfect but we still stood out as foreigners.  |

| The bride was asked to come sit in front of the elders. Here the sister in law and friends are fixing her veil. |

| This is Tuesday's bride marrying Rahman. |

| Both brides wore similar sarees to be sure that one was not "out-doing" the other. |
