Muntu Stitches

My life has been pretty busy that it’s really been difficult to blog consistently. I write blog entries in my head but when it comes down to posting them, all goes to naught. One of the exciting things that has happened to me in the last weeks was my visit to Tampa, Fl for a very good friend’s wedding. This wasn’t any ordinary wedding in my experience and I was excited to see it all. My friend is Indian and he was going to have the “works” at this wedding. They went all out and since the bride was the last daughter to get married, I was told it was a big deal. How big a deal? Well, my friend, as I like to call him, Dr. Desai arrived on a horse. Yes, a freakin’ horse! They had to close down the street for him!!!!

I don’t think he’s ever ridden one before.

The bride was beautiful. There were about four different events: the mehindi (henna) party, the gurba, ceremony and the reception.

She looked amazing!

I was blown away by all the colours and textures of the women’s saris. Our western dresses definitely paled in comparison.

Can you tell I loved the colours and the fabrics? It was fun to photograph definitely.

No, I didn’t get any knitting done that weekend. It was too dammed hot and humid in Tampa, and this wedding party kept me busy. We had a smashing time! Mostly because I got to see old friends and faces.
