indian wedding

I have never been to a indian wedding. I think my nie fren invited me b4 to one but i did not attend. Today, my colleagues got married finally after several years of courtship! So happen that both are in my school so basically, they have common ppl to invite! haha..

most of the school colleagues went , including our principal. I arrived at the place together with Hernie and Kelly. Most of the guests crowded around the groom for some prayers. Not knowing what to do, we stood there and chit chatted with the others who arrived earlier! Check out Rach's blog for things happening on first level!

After the prayers, we went up to the second level. There were many many tables around for us to be seated (something like chinese dinner setting). Mrs Suraindran got a table near the entrance so we happily sat there too, together with our P. There were so many ppl around and it's very difficult to gather all the school ppl to sit together! argh...

While we sat and waited, the waiter served lime juice and then there were indian dancers who danced on stage. The whole occasion was really noisy and happening! Then, the bride arrived and then the couple supposed to hang flower wreath garland around each other's neck. But, I think traditionally they supposed to 'argue' and stop each other from doing so (I also dunno why!!!). Therefore, everyone stood to wait for this 'ritual' to be over. And when the bride successfully hang it around the bridegroom, everyone clapped!

still 'arguing'....












bride was witty enuff to hang it around the groom's neck when he turned away!










Haha.. I really kinda blur with what's gng on! maybe should go and read up on different culture's wedding. even chinese wedding sometimes I also dunno why they have to do certain things!

ok back to this indian wedding. After this 'ritual', the couple moved to a little hut set up on stage for more prayers. Seriously we couldn't see what's gng on as there're many many photographers blocking our view! At the same time, there were some entertainers, as they called themselves to be, they sang hindu songs to entertain us. haha.. at the same time, we could proceed to have our dinner. However, the queue was so long (buffet style) so Hernie, Kelly and I gave up on the idea of having dinner there.

Instead, we took photos to entertain ourselves. haha...

Me... like cock eyes leh! hahahah...oh that's kelly's finger!










Val with NICE food... sobs.. I wish I'm skinny and can enjoy watever food I like! Hrump!










The girls decided to leave for another place. I went over to Rach's table to say bye. Hernie and I couldn't find kelly so we went down first. We decided to scare her so we ran and hid behind a car. haha.. juz as kelly was walking to the car( we told her that we're in the car), we roared with loud,"BOOOO!" hehe.. fun!

We went to Bedok market for supper. Finally... we get some food. Yeah...

****dinner at 10pm, means I could only sleep at... 3am!****
