More Wedding Photos

---

You should take a minute and go to Ruth's blog at: ruthmac.blogspot.com or click here: Ruth's Blog

She has posted some pictures there and I will try to post different ones here.... Also you will enjoy reading what she has written...don't worry, she is not nearly as long winded as I am so it won't take forever to read like mine does!

These were all taken either right before, after or during the wedding. They are not in order, although I tried.

Pretty Cool, Huh?
Two of those braclettes are 24k...can you find them?

Before The Wedding
Ruth and I in the little back room, ready (finally) for the wedding to start.

Praveen Awaits His Bride
Taken before or maybe AS we entered the room, Praveen was seated, center stage to wait.

The Bridal Party Enters the Stage
These are the girls who we were to follow...now comes the three laps around the stage. Later, Ruth will do it again with Praveen.

UP We Go..
The dreaded stairs.... onto the stage...

Ruth & Praveen
I think this was taken shortly after Ruth joined Praveen on the stage.

The "Tally"
This was taken as the "tally" was put around Ruth's neck. The tally (spelled wrong no doubt) is a little gold charm that all married (Hindu)Indian women wear. This is a very important moment in the wedding and is actually what signifies that the marriage has taken place. (I think)

I Bless the Couple
I was taken more than a little by surprise by this...

Three Laps Around the Stage
Praveen takes his new bride for three laps around the stage. This might be the Indian equilivant to: "Introducing, Mr. and Mrs. Praveen Krishnan". In this photo you can see some of the items that the procession of girls brought onto the stage with them (laying on the floor).

The Dreaded Banana and Milk
Here I am participating in the banana and milk feeding...

Family Photo
Here we are...Ruth and me looking at one camera, Praveen and his sister looking at another one, and his parents looking at HIM... There were so many cameras it was hard to know which one to look at!

Sharing the Throne
After the wedding is over, a little relaxing moment alone on stage.

Angela & Ruth
Aren't they beautiful?

Getting "Wrapped" ...Again
Ruth has help putting on the new sari that she will wear home from the wedding.

Finally....
I am reunited with my Berks.

Praveen & Sandhya
Praveen and his sister.

Indian Princess Bride
This was taken after Ruth changed into her second sari... She is beautiful, huh?
