Well this past weekend was certainly one to remember! We attended the incredible wedding of our friends Tej and Pansy in Ohio. Tej was Dana's roommate at U of Michigan business school (along with Scott).
Friday night we attended something like a rehearsal dinner but with lots of dancing, singing and henna painting. We couldn't get over the rainbow of saris everywhere. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Saturday we loved seeing Tej dress up in his traditional Indian wedding attire and ride in on a horse, with the wedding guests dancing in front of him in the city streets. What a spectacle! Our group of friends from business school really enjoyed watching 200 Indians partying and 10 white people trying to blend in. The men kept telling us to just "screw in the lightbulb" with our hands in the air and jump up and down. It was so funny that we all just laughed at ourselves and had a fabulous time.
The ceremony itself had a lot of tradition in it and felt similar to a Jewish wedding (minus the glass stomping). It was magical! Afterwards was more awesome Indian food and dancing (the DJ would play an Indian song, then Michael Jackson, then Indian again and so on...)
On a separate note, we want to congratulate our families on several big accomplishments! Congrats to Ron & Judy on 39 wonderful years of marriage. You inspire us! And a big congrats as well to our brother and sister, Sam and Ana, on their triathlons this weekend. You're amazing and we love you!
