Dinesh's and Munira's muslim ceremony and wedding reception was held the next day at lunch time. It was such a nice afternoon- the imam gave a succinct but meaningful blessing and explanation of the muslim vows. There were then several traditional Indian ceremonies, a delicious lunch, speeches (I did one in honour of the groom) and of course some dancing. Of course there was tassa again and a surprise belly dancer!
It didn't end there however. When the reception ended at five, a bunch of us headed back to my parent's place. We ordered some food, bought a tonne of drinks, played some stellar music (thanks, Nav) and danced the night away. When the bride and groom left us that night, a bunch of us walked them out with bottle and spoon, tassa music (this time from the DJ) singing traditional trinidadian indian songs and wishing them well.
I wish my brother and my new sister all the happiness in the world. I hope the best of their yesterdays are the worst of their tomorrows and they have a beautiful, bountiful marriage filled with loads of peace, passion and prosperity. I look forward to celebrating many occasions with them in the future...with lots of ginger ale, M ;-). Love you both!
Once again, I didn't take 1/2 the pics I should have.

One of the traditional ceremonies- whoever breaks the claypot rules the house. My brother broke it but let's just say I think my new sister in law can handle it. |

The cousins with the new bride... Darin joined us for one after but he forbade me from putting that picture up.
I am also not allowed to post the pictures from the after party! |
