This weekend we attended our first asian wedding. My neighbor wrapped me up tight in a sari, and loaned me some matching bangles along with some large bedazzled rings.
We got quite a bit of attention in all our formal ware. As if we didn't stick out before, add a sari to the 7 mo preggo white girl. David told me I looked like a princess...so that's all that matters, right:)
As for the wedding...I wasn't brave enough to take along my camera. But let me say honestly, it was one of the most spectacular and elaborate events I've ever attended. We felt like we were in a Bollywood movie. 8 different food bars ranging from Italian to South Indian fare, a Cold Stone section, a fruit mountain the size of Everest, fresh Kiwi, Strawberry and Coconut juice at every turn, a band drumming for hours, professional videographers and photographers on every corner, more flowers than I've ever seen in one place....and a bride with so much gold adornment she couldn't be missed even among the other fanfare.
It was definitely a night to remember.

beautiful!!!!

you in that sari were absolutely beautiful!
Laura, Before we read David's comment and the other comments, Claire exclaimed "She looks like a princess!" So, you'd better hang on to that wrap and dress up about every other month and just stroll around the house for an hour or so, just to keep David reminded. But, if David has to do the wrapping, he may say "Let's just look at sari spread out on the bed."

David, you looked nice, also. Did you have some real shoes? Or are flipflops real shoes. Looking over past pictures of you, if you are not barefoot, you have flipflops or tennis shoes (we'll give you credit on the tennis shoes). John
Laura, you look absolutely stunning! You are radiating from every angle. :) Thinking about you lots and praying for you, David and Jude, and for the arrival of Baby Silas! I miss you sweet friend!
