Sunday was the 'pre wedding party' - started at 5 pm and ended around 10 pm, while the wedding the next day started around 730 am...
Of course there was food, and music that was crazily reminicsent of Jazz (Byronium thinks Coltrane's Acension) and again, tons of relatives. This was a smaller event, family only, and my cousin Joysthna (see her here: http://flickr.com/photos/byronium/3092774578) had come from Mangalore _just_ to see me! Awww. We had been born about 4 months apart, and our moms are sisters, so in our terms, we're cousin-sisters too. She really is the closest thing to a sister I had growing up. It was pretty emotional, actually for me, because she dressed me up in my sari on sunday night, and told me it was fun getting to help her "Akka" (older sister) out. Now you can see the height difference is pretty drastic, and everyone kept offering her a stool to stand on...
So here's me and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Part of the thing for the girls is to have 'mendhi' done - which is henna on the hands. I was nervous about having anything on my skin because of the crazy allergic reaction that my skin's been having to being in India butsfracerx and fd_midori both had it done. It came out amazing on their paler skin!
Home late to get up early! (more later)
