Wedding in Delhi

We went to Delhi to celebrate the union of our dear friends Ravi & Neha, and perhaps enjoyed a little naughty wickedness by laughing at Ravi's head gear... :p

Here are some pictures to remember their special day by....

We first attended the engagement ceremony on Thu, 24 Aug 06
Ravi is first welcomed into the Bride's family by all the guys.

This is Neha's brother holding a box of sweets. Ravi is the other guy with the handkerchief on his head. It is supposed to deflect away any ill feelings towards him during the ceremony. Ravi had to be fed by everyone to symbolise he's been welcomed into their family, he probably finished the whole box by himself.

The lady in the middle is Ravi's Grandmother. We were in deep conversation for 2 whole minutes, she in Hindi, and I was replying in English. We both smiled alot, rattled on and on, without understanding one another, but were both feeling happy. Or maybe she just thought I was crazy and was actually asking me to stop talking to her?! But I do know Ravi's aunts were laughing. :p

The group of us before Neha entered the room, before Ravi "lost 1/2 his money" and still happy, as the guys put it.

Ravi, with the ravishing Neha in her elaborate Sari!

The engagement party ended with much dancing where everyone joined in, including Neha's dad!

The Wedding itself was on Fri, 25 Aug 06. Ravi arrived on a horse with his nephew. We were laughing at his head gear, he was laughing at us in our garb.

Yes that's us in trendy Indian Fashion! We were more keen in taking pictures with the horse than congratulating Ravi on his big day!

Neha's dad with amazing memory. He even remembered that we met when he last visited Singapore.

What he did with the head gear...

Wind-in-hair effect... It was so hot the huge fan was such a heaven sent!

Maharaja Devin Chanmugam

Tien Ho: "Devin you look like you're wearing a bra on your head!"

More ceremony after dinner (1am+) and this was supposed to go on for another 2 hours! We were so tired we left early.
