We have a five day celebration coming up and the bride-to-be is getting the party started:



The Empire Banquet Hall in Calgary hosts the ladies' sangeet which is the proper way to set the mood for the week.

The next day, Rohit is well on his way to becoming a trophy husband:

He starts with a thorough makeup session, also known as the maiyan ritual.

There's plenty of makeup for everybody.

Meanwhile, an army of mehndi artists takes over Winni's place for some fancy work.


Everybody is happy with the results.

The third day brings lots of extra color.

This rangoli is lit. Literally:


I wouldn't have guessed it, but the bride's sisters must know exactly where they have to apply the vatna:

She's not even allowed to touch the floor.
Choora:

With the wedding bangles securely placed on her arms, Winni is ready to join her groom-to-be.
We all should take some rest in anticipation of the long day coming up.
