Wedding Celebrations Stage 1

Here's the first night of wedding celebrations. The bride and groom had separate parties and of course we were at the grooms. It was a low key affair compared to what was to follow, but since it was our first Hindu wedding, it seemed really lavish at the time. The blokes head off to a separate room and enjoy whiskey and beer (Kingfisher of course), while the ladies have their own dry party outside. After we drank the bar dry, it was time for dinner and there was heaps of curries and breads to take our fill.

The guys having a dance, here's Jeff and David getting into the spirit.

This party had it all and was great fun. We even had a wedding crasher who wanted to sell Jeff some pot, who was summarily dispatched by Trib and co. once he was found out.
