i am missing...

My beautiful friend Katie. We met in Nepal when she was trying to arrange her wedding. It was a pretty stressful time but i think we managed alright given neither of us spoke the language and had no idea what a Nepali-English wedding should look like.

This is a photograph from the first and only Nepali wedding i have ever been to. My friend Katie (in red) was marrying a Nepali boy. It was an amazing thing to be a part of. Traditional Nepali marriage ceremonies can have huge parties in the street. Everyone makes noise and there is lots of food and dancing. This one was a little more subdued.

It was my fist time buying and wearing a Sari. I need a lot more practice. I really have to work on those abs if i intend to get around in tradition dress on my next trip.
