Here Comes the Bride

My cousin 's wedding took place at the Anglican Cathedral which was beautifully decorated under an Aunt 's supervision and expertise.

On the right you can see some of our family in the choir. Granny was the first Indian pianist of Alld. during the British Raj.There are great musicians and composers in our family.

On the left is the happy couple.Below is a cousin 's daughter who was one of the bridesmaids.

You can see Aunt Emerine who lived in New York most of her life. Now she has retired in India.She is in her 70s and a close friend of my Mom.

Sonia and I attended the wedding ceremony and reception along with Abner.We had a good time and met many relatives and friends .The reception and dinner is a long relaxed affair.Once the couple cuts the cake (9 tiered this one) cake and coffee is served and there are speeches and music.My cousin brother sang several songs. He sings like Elvis Presley and Tom Jones.Then the bride goes off to change into her dinner clothes.The priest prays when the couple returns for dinner and then the soup and starters are served followed by dinner.Everybody is relaxed and social.People keep coming and going. When we were leaving after 10pm guests were still arriving, many of them from the medical fraternity as the groom 's Mom and some of my cousins are doctors.

I saw my family doctor and felt guilty as I 've not had my BP checked recently, Mom 's too.

Sonia left the day after the wedding (Jan 5th)
