A short Indian wedding
Only two days of ceremonies and celebrations. I dressed in yellow for Haldi, got my finger painted with henna for Mehendi, donned a turban so I could help carrying the bridal canopy, and ate, and danced all night.
Blogging for your amusement and my chance to remember things.
Pictures and ramblings about tech, making, and baking.

I've successfully shrunk my new shirt so it no longer fits. It's enough fabric to make something from it so nothing is lost.
No pictures from inside the Bahai temple, but it is a stunning architectural structure.
The concrete roof arches feel almost weightless and let light filter in through gaps between the petals. We were very lucky to experience moments in peace and calmness almost on our own in an otherwise busy and crowded place.
We went to Lajpat Nagar market to buy dress shoes for the main event and a nice golden yellow kurta for the haldi ceremony for me. I got fitted for a turban that will be wound for me, too.
Which means I'm done shopping for the wedding and we can spent a few days doing touristy things.
