Since the bride was in a different city (about 200 km away) and the main ceremony was happening at her place, the groom side travelled in a convoy. Of course, a car was standing out, the one carrying the groom. Its decoration reminded me a bit about the car decorations in a Romanian wedding, but were more excessive.

The groom’s family prepared a lot of presents for the bride and her family. They were decorated by a specialist, a guy who does wedding present packaging for a living, then sent away, Of course, the bride’s family did the same, sending its own batch of presents. This exchange happened the day before the main wedding ceremony.

This turmeric based powder she is making here is used as an ingredient in many of the ceremonies around the wedding. It is also used for color and as spice for the curry 🙂 This operation happened at the groom’s house and was one of the first, it definitely was the first I attended too.
