Mendhi

On Wednesday night I was at Farah's Mendhi night. It's a traditional Indian event held for the bride before she is married.

When I arrived, Farah was having Mendhi applied to her hands and feet. Later, after some delicious food prepared by Farah's mother and sisters there was a belly dancer. She was fantastic, she looked good and the outfit she was wearing was beautiful. Obviously she was also a great dancer and even allowed some of us to join in :-)

A traditional Indian ceremony was performed then (I'm gonna have to ask Farah what it was called). Basically everyone get's to bless the bride. More food followed, and then everyone else got to have some Mendi applied. I had some put on my hand - it looks fantastic. There will be some pictures of how it looks next time we upload some.

The rest of the evening comprised of traditional Indian dance and song. It was a fantastic evening and I'm glad Farah invited me.
