Wedding - Indian Style

I LOVE Indian clothes!  New sarees for the girls...
And new clothes for the guys too.
The groom.
This is outside the wedding hall...the groom slowly goes and meets the bride outside the door where they put a ring of flowers around the other's neck and then walk inside together.  As he is doing this, there is a loud band and lots of dancing.  Woo!

The westerners at the wedding
Bride and groom on stage in front of everyone.  Our friend, Jag, is good friends with the groom.  This was an arranged marriage and the bride and groom do not really even look at each other (supposedly out of the respect for the elders)...different, but such a pleasure to be there! 
People stand in line (7-12am) to give gifts and take pictures with the bride and groom.
