National Bovine's Wedding Vacation: Hindus Tie the Knot Literally

Jan 15, 2008 02:13

From San Diego to Los Angeles to Scottsdale. While it is not necessary to catch up on those posts to follow these next few, be aware that they are in continuity.

I cordially invite you to the wedding of Ravi and Laura.

( One of the most fun wedding traditions works like this: the groom has to take off his shoes in order to enter the ceremonial area. So the bride's sisters steal his shoes. But then it gets better because the groom's side countersteals and hides the shoes so the bride's sisters have to find them. They have an incentive because, once they find them, the groom has to buy them back. )

Those are really great pictures -- Laura and Ravi look stunning. And I don't even know them, so that's not flattery.
Thanks!

I bet you mean Saguaro cactuses.
Yep, those things!

They are good people!

Question: do you mind if I use your real name in the post about Saturday?

Go for iy.

Only, go for IT. Also, they did seem like good people. I might still steal your friends. Also, I agree with teh extra weight being a good thing. Also, Jews totally do the saying goodbye for hours thing.

Are Hindu weddings very different from Gujarati weddings? Because this looks quite a bit like Rinku & Josh's.

spectralbovine January 15 2008, 17:05:09 UTC

Hindu is a religion, Gujarati is a state. They're not mutually exclusive. I'm sure Rinku's wedding was quite similar. I think South Indian weddings may be different.

(1) The the and the the were both necessary.

(2) 309's not a multiple of nine.

(3) Nice to see you!

1. True.

2. Oh, I meant three.

3. You too!
