Yesterday, I posted about the pre-wedding Mehndi Ceremony.  Here are some photos from Sunday's wedding ceremony:

Mehndi Ceremony

This past weekend I attended the long-awaited wedding of a dear college friend.  It was an especially beautiful event, full of color, tradition, delicious food, and of course, love.

Here are some photos from Saturday's Mehndi ceremony.  (To see photos from their wedding ceremony, click here.)

Such beautiful and intricate artistry

This shot reminded me of a scene from a Bollywood movie

The lovely hands of long-time friends

Goodbye, Chuck


I'm going away this weekend to attend a friend's wedding.  (Hubby and Chuck are staying behind to man the fort and welcome our Aussie house guests.)

As much as I'm excited to see old friends, wear fancy clothes, and attend my first Indian-Ghanaian wedding, I'm already missing hubby and Chuck.  It's the longest time that this mama's been away.  

Hope you have a great weekend.  I'll be sure to take lots of photos and share them with you.
