For special occasions the women decorate their hands and usually paint up their arms-don't know what it means.This gal wearing white was i am guesssing like a maid of honor---she escorted through the whole affair, and just us!! treated us like we were extra ordinary guests--or it could have been the looks on our faces of what do we do so we don't do anything wrong :) She was a very wonderful hostess.
Our first wedding reception-Jayaraj is from our branch and he married a girl from Hyderabad 3rd branch. They were married in the church in Hyderabad, then traveled to Hong Kong to be sealed in the temple. Here in India, this is the only way the nation allows the temple marriages to take place. The couple has only 1 week to go after their wedding or they must wait a full year before they can go. Jayaraj is also a Returned Missionary and one of our PEF students. He is studing Hotel Managment/Chef at a very high end school.

The women dressed up big time for the party, but the men did not. At this reception it was all about having a picture with the couple and eating and eating and eating :) Our auto driver said
he knew where the place was---NOT, we drove around and around and around for an hour--oh, well....just another adventure.This is the bride and groom Jayaraj & Srilatha Muthu
