The Rice Blessing

Forget about Valentine's Day, I couldn't stay away from my email at work hoping against hope that someone, anyone would send us pictures from the wedding.

And finally, around 4:00 pm, my diligence was rewarded.  While 2 women worked their way through 30 boxes of flowers and phones rang and customers lined up to order roses, I was busy downloading several pictures that made me smile, made me laugh and of course made me cry.

Though I would love to show you all of them I finally selected my favorites.  The first is the rice blessing.  The second is Tini and Nirmal exchanging their wedding vows.

Don't they make you smile?  And that color, Oh my God, I am totally in the mood to create the most psychedelic flower arrangements ever to hit DC.





So take a blue eyed blonde, German-American with a passion for barely there champagne colored walls and severely edited furnishings and send her off to India to get hitched.

I bet she'll be redoing their apartment with a week of coming home.  I see peacock blue in their future.  And much happiness.

    Oh, Indian weddings are so beautiful. I have been to one here in the states, but judging from the pictures, they are even more beautiful IN India. Or maybe it is just this particular couple? Thanks for sharing the pics!

    Very much appreciating the colour in an otherwise grey and rainy day.
