Wedding, Flowers and Colourful Saree

I had been busy week for us and free weeks for the dogs. Pal had been staying at home last week preparing for the exam, means that Suria and Luna were having more food. Somemore we gotta skip trekking coz of Pal's friend (Valli's) wedding, the dogs gonna be FAT!! But at the end the trekking also cancelled.

Wednesday we went to Valli's bangle ceremony (engagement party). Some random photos.

Coconuts

Bitter leaves

All the guests greeted at the door with this. Not sure what's inside the long container, i guess it's some kind of rose water. Dipped finger onto the red powder, then to the yellow liquid and dot it on your forehead between the eyebrows.

Fire is used to purifying. It's like holy water in church.

Oh, this was beautiful. Too bad my camera couldn't capture the bling-ness of the beads.

I can see with my own eyes how a woman transform after the make up. Gee.. they looks so much different, smooth complexion and more beautiful.

The wedding on Sunday was in a temple. So Pal insisted me to wear Indian clothing too. So, well.. no choice.. last minute rushed to little India to buy Punjabi suit (it's easier to wear). I don't really like the material (so uncomfy), but Pal said all like that.. it's expensive too around $80 and it doesn't fit me well. The wedding was in the morning 8.30am, too early for me *yawning*. We were rushing and I forgotten to bring the shawl. No.. I won't let you see me wearing Punjabi suit.. haha.. instead, here is the glimpse on what I wore =P

Nice decoration on the temple roof

The wedding ceremony carried out at the temple 2nd storey, no aircon, huge open air area but covered roof. And imagine this two 'musician' able to create loud music for huge place, no need loud speaker, mic, etc.

Yellow Rice

I learned a lesson when throwing yellow rice at the wedding couple. "Don't stand in front!!" or else everybody behind will throw the rice on you. Pal got rice stucked on his head.

Exchange flowers

Bride groom's brother held the bride groom's hand and he held the bride's hand and she held the bride groom's sister's hand and went around the errmmm not sure what. Do u get what I wrote? *scratch head*

The bride groom bend down and put toe ring on the bride's toe

Newly Wed couple - look tired but happy =)

One thing I noticed, that's lots lots of flowers they used.

And of course the FOOD!! They served Vegetarian Dishes from Komala's restaurant. YUMMY!

Isn't this just look like fried chicken?! Actually this is fried Cauliflower.
