We were invited to a wedding reception. This is a picture of the bride. This is a very beautiful dress. In Nepali you would say it was a dayray ramro poshack!
Some family and guests posing for a picture before the start of the reception.
The buffet is a tradition in Nepal just like in the USA. The food is different.
The bride and groom. This was an arranged marriage. That is a tradition in Nepal. They spent less than one full hour with each other prior to the wedding. Still it works here in this culture.
The reception line is different here. The bride and groom sit on a raised platform in very fancy chairs. As guests arrive they put silk scarves on the bride and groom and then give them a small amount of money in an envelope or some small gift.
This little grand mother (hazur ahmah) posing in her very best dress coming into the reception. Many things were different but many the same as what you would find at a wedding reception in the USA.
