Wedding and a Wish

Ok - the wedding activities officially started Thursday evening - dinner and Mendie (Indian henna tattoo) party. Wonderful food and music and my hand was painted. It is so beautiful. That is one thing the women of India do well - the tattoo and gowns are so beautiful!

Then on Friday - we headed up to Winter Park and had another wonderful dinner - this time with Italian food and music. Jeremy found a big bike as well. The front tire is as tall as he is!



Saturday morning - after a quick bike ride - Jeremy got all done up - he was one of Ajay's men...

There was a prayer ceremony for the groom and his family then it is tradition for all those on the groom's side to dance him to the ceremony.








Here are my other 2 beautiful children - for once Daniel didn't make a funny face.

As you can see the day was perfect.

Here is Ajay riding the horse to ceremony.

Here are his men dancing in front of Ajay - the rest of the groom side guests are dancing behind.

Jeremy acted like he was going to just blend in and avoid it - but he was out there dancing up a storm - it was super fun. I talked to Gina's girls and they had to wait away from the crowd and make sure no one saw her before she entered into the ceremony.

I wanted to take more pictures - but Isabella was a bit crazy and could not sit still. Then Isabella turned on the camera and drained the battery.

The rest of the evening was super fun - another night of good food, music and dancing.

Sunday we woke up early - packed up and headed back to Denver. We made in plenty of time to catch the limo and we were off to the airport.

We made it into College State PA about 11 pm EST and finally got everyone in their rooms and asleep around 1 am.

Monday morning Isabella woke up and was in her swim suit before I could open my eyes...

So after everyone else was up and we got a quick breakfast, we hit the pool. Samantha's ankle isn't quite healed so she could not put her ankle in the water - but she found a creative way to still get into the pool and jacuzzi any way - the first time in over a year.

After the pool we were off again. Make-a-wish got the family tickets to a local amusement park. We all had a fun time - this was Isabella's first time and she found a favorite ride. She and Sam road the caterpillar roller coaster 3 times in a row!

I have pictures but I decided that I would put them all together in a slide show instead of trying to document all of them now - so stay tuned!

Right now it is late and tomorrow is the DAY! Good night and love to everyone!
