The day started out with getting ready with Babs and Tashika and grabbing a quick bite of hotel breakfast. Their sausage hash was pretty decent but the eggs tasted like throw up.
We got to the banquet hall and I’m happy with how the garland came out!
We were given flowers to put in our hair. The flowers remind me of Ashy as he always grew them in his backyard. I cannot believe someone sat and tied each one together! They are so pretty and now I want a garland of them.
Their wedding started at seven in the morning for prayers. We showed up at around nine and was able to still see them get married.
They served hors d’oeuvres since Indian weddings are so long.
I love this picture. They’re throwing rice on one another. I’m not too certain the meaning but I’m sure it has to be blessings.
Soon enough lunch was served. I was super excited to see papadum. Does anyone know where I can get already made in Houston? Everything was delicious and I wished I was still hungry for more.
I was able to snag a quick picture with the bride and groom. I can’t believe this girl I met almost nine years ago is finally married!
Babs, Tashika and I went back to our rooms for a nap. I woke up due to Yaswant knocking on the door for the centerpieces. I went and hung out with Apurva a bit while she got her makeup done.
Her mum helped me put my sari on and I went and put on my jewelry and makeup. Not going to lie, I was feeling myself. My friend told me my pupils look dilated in the picture but I’m pretty sure it’s just the lighting. And my family members said I could pass as Indian … Yeah I don’t know why either.
We got to the venue while Apurva and Ram were taking pictures. We went and added some fresh flowers on their wedding cake before going off to get our drinks.
They had a very cute photo booth area and I’m glad I got to take a picture with these two girls. They have been a gem in letting me join them in getting ready and riding together.
The food was freaking off the chain! I’m thankful Scruffy showed me the way back to Indian food and made me fall in love with it. If he didn’t, I don’t know how I would have survived since it’s been Indian food every single meal since I’ve arrived. I have made up all the years I’ve stopped because of that one time fluke I had back in middle school.
The beautiful bride and I. Everything was gorgeous. All the food was delicious. And the Ram definitely brought the moves.
Congratulations to you both! Cannot wait to visit y’all in Miami!
