so this week has been uhh..........CRAZY!! I have projects coming out of my ears and papers that are due like everyday!! ahh!! don't you just love highshcool?? lol so yeah this week has been a little crazy work wise but my family is coming into town this weekend to celebrate the marriage of my cousin Elizabeth and her fiance' Abishake! (we call him Shake for short) Shake is from India and in India the traditional wedding lasts for like a week I think and everyday is filled with a celebration. Well what they both decided to do is make the wedding 4 days and mix the 2 cultures into one cermony. Wednesday night was a gift ceremony, Thursday night was the Mindi ceremony, Friday night was the rehearsal dinner, and tonight is the wedding! Now, you may be wondering what a Mindi ceremony is! Well Mindi is pretty much like Henna. and in India it is tradition for the bride to get her arms Mindi-ed like a glove sort of. So my cousin Elizabeth has these beautiful intricate designs up and down her arms. At the ceremony the Mindi artist stayed and the girl family members and friends got Mindi on their hands as well. So yes I have Mindi on both of my hands and it's beautiful! My mom got it done, I got it done and even my grandma got her hand Mindi-ed! Now you might still be a little unclear on what it is...its like a Henna tattoo sort of. It will slowly begin to fade away after a couple weeks. Here is a picture...
This was what I wore to the Mindi ceremony! It was a gift from Shake's mom and she got it from India! Isn't it nice! I told my mom that I wanted to go India to get another one! =]
