Jasmin & Tony - North Side Goes South

This is the first thing I saw in front of Tony's house when I got there in the morning:

A turban is growing on his head:
Outside the house, the girls feed Bella, the white mare Tony is ridding:

They must have put something in the grain because Bella is LOLing all the way to the gurdwara:
It's always good to have a cousin professional make-up artist:
I like the hair style:
The milni was brutal and fun in the same time:
Jasmin has lots of brothers/cousins and they are all around the Guru Granth Sahib to usher her:
In the background you can see o picture of the Golden Temple from Amritsar, Punjab, the most sacred Sikh temple. Hopefully I'll get some pictures of it myself next year:

BADDOWAL BIBIAN DA DHADI JATHA came all the way from India to perform hymns known as varaan:
The string instrument is called Sarangi and Jasmeet Singh Khalsa is a Master:
This is an army of groom's men and they start the party early in the day:
I didn't tell the girls to pose like this, but most times 'natural' looks much better:
It's been a long day and Jasmin is more than happy to lay down for me:
We have a few more ceremonies ahead, so it's time to move:
If the written words are not clear enough, the open palm facing up sure is international language. I've personally seen it on different continents:

Tony's guys have a few offers that can be refused and they are:
Then, they have to answer some questions and this is the moment when they got one right:
I'm the first one out when the Silly String war starts. Not everyone is that fast:
This must be the most devastating departure I've witnessed:
Navi told me she would do anything to be on this blog, but I'm sure the crying is for Jasmin:
After sunset, we make it back to Tony's house. Everybody is happy to receive Jasmin:
The dhol player gets extra appreciation:
Next day we take a few pictures around downtown:
Tony lost the beard, like all the grooms before him:
It's my 3rd reception at The Westin this year:
I still can't find the antidote for excellent food. This time it's prepared by Red Chilli and this is my favorite dish:
First dance:
Party land:

It's so good to see many familiar faces:

Congratulations Jasmine and Tony! We had a great time!
