What beautiful pictures! I must say I''m also fascinated by Indian weddings. They''re so colorful and festive! I LOVE your dark blue sari, by the way!

I wish I had a reason to get away with wearing a sari sometime.

I also forgot to mention that the entire ceremony was in Sanskrit. The pundit (priest) translated that to very proper hindi to my family, who translated it to simple hindi for me, which I translated into English for Mr. Kama. It was damn awesome!

This is soooo freakin romantic. Very sweet detail for you to share with us. Everything, and especially you in all your fancy dresses looked stunning. I can''t believe you were holding out on us!

 

[Deelight]

Stunning pictures, you made a beautiful bride

 

[luvthemstrawberries]

Kama everything is so beautiful and colorful!! So pretty. I can''t imagine how heavy the clothes are though! Hehe and it makes me smile to see how tall your FI is - I love the picture of you and him and your brother!

 

[SparklyLibra]

Wow Kama! It looks like it was a beautiful wedding! I just love all of the wonderful, rich colors. I have a major fascination with Indian weddings. I love all of the tradition and symbolism.

Congratulations!

[katamari]

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing these great pics!

 

[miraclesrule]

OMG, I am so glad I didn''t miss this thread! Kama, you looked stunning. I love Indian ceremonies and the colors and the romantic draping of colorful materials and the intimacy and GAH...just everything!! I want one.

Congratulations on your beautiful non-legal ceremony.

Canuk-gal: Thank you!

Honey22: Thanks!! We''re having our ''real'' wedding here in June. Looking forward to being a Mrs. legally!

lliang_chi: Haha, you got me

I really loved the dark blue sari too, it was such a different an vibrant shade of blue! The boutique I bought the sari from only sells one of a kind stuff. When I was trying it out, there were more than 5 women hovering around me waiting to snatch it up incase I decided not to get it! The crystal work on it was sooo pwetty. Where did your parents grow up? Can they make hakka chinese food? If they can, I''m totally self-inviting myself for dinner

KatyWI: Thank you! Thank you! Ya know, I haven''t even gone through all the pics yet! I''m still a little over-whelmed by them!!

Skippy: Thanks, darling! It means a lot coming from you

Kim N: Thanks so much!

Lovesparklies: Awww, thank you! I just mentioned to lliang_chi above how the dark blue was my favourite outfit too! You can come over to my place and we can have a sari party

Sparkalicious: Thanks, love! You''re waaaaayyy too kind! The mehendi lasted just over 2 weeks, althought by the middle of the second week it was beginning to look like crap. I just exfoliated like mad to get rid of it! The stuff on my legs lasted much longer, close to 3 weeks (because they''re not in contact with soap and water much).

Goodsoul: Thank you! Yeah, sitting through the mehendi was the most annoying part of the whole ceremony. I''m such an antsy and restless person...I can''t even sit and watch TV for half an hour. I was literally going bonkers! Haha. The guy who did the mehendi work was frustrated with me because I just couldn''t sit still!

Neatfreak: Thank you! It was, indeed, such a special day - especially when I saw my dad with tears in his eyes

Swimmer: Haha, thankfully I was able to pick and choose the traditions

Some of the traditions are incredibly old-fashioned and patriarchal, for instance, one of the vows I had to take during the ceremony was to promise my husband that I would not go see my parents without his permission. Um. What? Mr. Kama also had to vow to never let me go out alone!! Too bad he''s stuck with me when I go shopping next

Also, apparently, we are not allowed to enter a place that serves alcohol. And if Mr. Kama ever had a sip of alcohol, I am supposed to disown him.

So yeah, cherry picking of traditions!

Alliegator: Thank you so much!

CDNinNYC: Thank you, darling!

Modernsparkler: Thanks so much! I really do love all the colours too!

House Cat: Thanks! It was absolutely hilarious being up on that throne!

Mayachel: Awwwwwwww....you''re just too sweet! I really did love the sanskirt, as much as I didnt understand most of it. It''s such a beautiful language.

Deelight: Haha, thanks...again!! Sorry to bore ya with the same pics twice!

luvthemstrawberries: Thanks!! Mr. Kama is 6''5...and I''m only 5''4

...so we can rarely get both of us in the same picture frame! If I''m in the pic, his head is bound to be cut off! LOL I love that pic of my bro with us too...he''s so sweet, he got that pic enlarged and in a frame for me as a delayed Christmas gift

Sparklylibra: Thank you for your kind words!

Pocahontas: Thanks, love! I know it took me a while to put them em...sowwie

Katamari: Thanksssss!!!

Miraclesrule: Thank you for the lovely comments! I can totally have one arranged for ya! Just give me the signal, lady!

Who needs an occasion to party, what?!!
