It is long overdue for a blog update!
Over the last two weeks I have been busy not with revision but rather with shopping for my best friend’s wedding and what an experience that was! This was the first Asian Bengali wedding/mehendi I have ever experienced and apart from a few hiccups it was really nice. The mehendi night had the biggest problem ever. For those of you who don’t know mehendi also known as henna usually happens a day or few days before the wedding and is actually a plant that when crushed produces a dye that can be used on the body to create patterns etc. So on the mehendi night the lady who was meant to put the henna on the bride to be cancelled at the last minute which meant that I and the rest of the family were frantically searching for another henna artist to do the patterns that night. We were able to find a few who were willing to do it although the one chosen was not the best. But all in all it was a beautiful fun night with a few special dance performances by family members.
The wedding itself was filled with colour and one would think it was a fashion competition! With everyone dressed in the best and most glamorous and colourful outfits. A huge hall decked with a red and white theme, a stage for the wonderful bride and groom. The vows exchanged once everyone had arrived it is the start of something completely new, it was an exhilarating feeling for even me. When I saw her walking out it brought tears to my eyes. Decked out a gold, green and maroon dress, she was breath taking. A simple and soft spoken make up but yet so outstanding. The most beautiful bride I have seen J
