wedding pictures

at the brides families house.

dancing before going inside at the brides
families house.

this is my wonderful counterpart Nargis
and her daughter.  The lady in
the orange. 

this is the bride and groom's
car.  the windshield and
side mirror are decorated with
colorful towels so people
can it is part of a wedding. 

these 3 guys played for us both
days and nights!  they were awesome!

some dancing outside the Mayor's
office.

here you can see the bride.

in the Mayor's office.  I later found
out this woman is the secretary for
the Mayor

this is the loaf of bread I mentioned
yesterday.   She breaks it in half
and the number of crumbs are the
number of kids the couple will have.

again with the Mayor's secretary.

dancing after the ceremony.  Here are the
bride and groom, or at least their backs! 

this is the party before the party
the night of the actual ceremony.
Nargis, her daughter, and I slept here.
When we came to put our stuff
here we found a whole houseful of cousins, aunts,
and others going to the "reception"
and the party had already started!
the young girl you see here in white
at one time had a jingly q-chek
"skirt" on and she was really shaking
those hips!

this is again outside the Mayor's
office.
