guests danding all the way there
funny VWRY loud indian music (hired orchestra)

it was such an experience 4 us
everything abosolutely different from what we know
the ceremony iotself started at round 23om
Apoorv had said they negotiated with their parents - who wanted the ceremony to last 7h (YES SEVEN)
butr they got it down 2 45 mins. NOT! it was over 1.5h anyway ;) guess the parents won anyway
i|APoorv and Anamika were sitting on thrones
she was wearing this VERY heavy dress with all the embroidery. the whole gear was supposedly 30kg! - togetherw ith the jewelerry!
all done with reading of the Sanskrit by a holy man.
