I discovered something this weekend: I love Indian weddings. The music, the clothes, the food…..everything about it is just plain awesome. And the 5 hour nap in the middle of the day, between the ceremony and reception? Haven’t done that since college, and it was amazing:) This weekend Jay and I headed down to Virginia for his friend Vikas’ wedding. It was the first Indian wedding I have ever been to, so I wasn’t sure quite what to expect – but MAN did I have a blast….loved everything about it! It made me want to play Indian music at my own wedding. And have Vikas’ friends dance at my wedding. Who knew Indian guys are such AWESOME dancers??? I loved watching them dance!
I was having such a good time, and was in need of a break from work in a bad way, so I took barely any pictures the entire weekend – I did manage to grab a couple shots of Vikas during the Barat, but that’s about it!
What a great guy – seriously, one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet.
I didn’t even get a SINGLE picture of the bride! I stole this picture from my friend Ashley – hope you don’t mind Ash! I am just in LOVE with their expressions in this picture – doesn’t Tara look like an Indian Barbie??
Vikas and Tara – thanks for having us! Your wedding was full of so much love, I had SO MUCH fun!
Side Note: Jay has a group of 7 guy friends from high school, and ever since their teen year’s they’ve called themselves the DNB. Vikas is one of the members of DNB (don’t even bother asking what it stands for, they won’t tell anyone). Apparently the only thing Vikas asked for at his wedding was for the DNB to dance to “Like a Prayer” by Madonna. And that they did. I was front and center, with my Flip Video camera in hand, and caught the whole thing – I’ve been watching it on repeat, and laugh so hard my stomach hurts every.single.time. I think all of the Indian guests referred to their performance as “the white guy dance” because none of them were on the same step at the same time – at one point one of Jay’s friends actually pushed him out of his “dance space”, as Jay stepped on his foot….I am dying to post it here, but I feel like Jay might disown me if I do that…..so keep your eye out on Facebook, I’m sure a copy or two *might* just leak out:)
