Day 1: Mehndi & Cocktails
Mehendi
Singing and dancing during Mehendi session.
Getting Mehendi-ed
Pani Puri - They punctured a hole into this deep- fried ball, stuff some cooked spiced potatoes in it and then pour some green liquid inside. Quite tasty.
Cocktails and Clubbing at The Mine
Alok and Shruti are such great hosts. What do you do when your guests are drunk and danced-out? You feed them.

Day 2: Tilak Ceremony, Sangeet & Dinner
Bride and Groom on stage
Performance by the bride (no, there were no groom performance)
But Alok did dance a storm. Lady in pink saree is Alok's mom.
Alok's friends performing to the song "ohm shanti ohm"

Doesn't this look like an Indianized GAP ad? Check out the shoes.

Day 3: Wedding Ceremony
Apparently, the groom is supposed to arrive at the location on a horse (or an elephant, I can't remember) with a music band but the Leela Palace did not allow noise or animals, so Alok's friends had to sing loudly to simulate.

Groom and Bride
Wedding Accessories
Wedding ritual: pouring rice into fire. Not sure what is the significance but I'm sure Alok isn't sure either.
Literally tying the knot.
Negotiating for the groom's slippers
The rituals went on for a while.
Me, Pooja, Chitra, Helen and Sneha
The friends. Like a sore thumb.
Weddings can be quite emotional.
