And here we are in our formal Indian wear purchased in Varanasi where even I got to help one of the workers on the silk loom...

Believe it or not, we are getting ready to carry the Finnish bride into her wedding ceremony- since the bride's side was limited, she needed us to help with manual labor! 

The tradition is the groom rides in on a white horse as his friends and family parade (or dance!) him into the event... and the bride is carried in to greet the crowd.

Amazing experience and we followed it up with the Finnish version this year!

A proper Finnish wedding in Helsinki, although the reception still had an Indian flair with Harsh's close family holding ground on the dance floor and a Finndian DJ manning the turn table!
