Photos from ANOTHER wedding

Invitation

This is the night before the wedding-the celebrational carrying of the rice to the groom's family's house(that's what is around her waist).

Group shot.

The bride kissing the groom's feet-yikes!

And the Bride's mother's feet.

They made me dance. Alone.

The wedding chairs.

Getting the bride ready, the next morning.

The trip to the temple.

HA!

Weddings here are not particularly joyful, at least for the bride and groom, as they are always arranged, and the bride and groom are very young.
