Big Fat Indian Wedding

July 21st, 2008 · 4 Comments · Friendship

Shivani, a good friend since high school, got married this weekend. Every detail was just stunning. I’m still in a trance.

Saturday was her mehndi celebration:

Gasp. She’s a princess. So gorgeous.

These people aren’t Indian, but they’re still pretty cute.

Congratulations Shiv and Raaj!

    Way to raise the bar for everyone else. Now people are going to have to ride in on dragons and sharks. Think of the lives that will be lost, all because Raaj had to ride in on a horse. Still I forgive. I can’t stay mad at anyone that hosts an open bar.
