What do you imagine when you picture an Indian wedding?If you envision vibrant jewel tones, contagious singing and dancing, and a visual delight of ceremony and fashion you are right on! This was actually the fifth Indian (Hindu) wedding I’ve attended but my first one in this region. The wedding venue, Neemrana Fort-Palace, only added to the romantic vibe of the occasion. The beautiful arches and architecture hailed from 1464 and have been restored in beautiful detail. I’ll write a separate review about the Fort because it was really lovely. It was quite an experience walking on such lovely and historic grounds. The warm colors and grand spaces just enhanced the beauty of the wedding itself (really when will you witness a wedding in an amphitheater?!)
Here are the highlights of the wedding:
The bride receives henna and there are lots of performances at the sangeet the day before the ceremony.
Flower petals adorn the grounds during the wedding day.
The bharat band and groom are here on the wedding day! Don’t try to out dance a middle-aged Indian lady. You will lose and I can only say “Told you so!”
The ceremony progresses (for a while – it is actually common for most guests to leave because it is so long and the poor couple and family are left alone on stage!)
I told you it was in an amphitheater – lovely venue!
What a way to end the night!
Just wonderful 🙂 xx
the bride looks beautiful! hope u had a great time!
