Sam's Wedding

This is Sam, a former single adult, he is now a married man married happily to Pradhika. both a members and both work at Infosys which is a large IT company in india. This marriage was not an arranged marriage but is, what the indians call, a love marriage. a love marriage is what americans know as a marriage. interestingly enough both families were ok with this love marriage which is rare. we got a wedding invitation but weren't able to make the wedding due to work, so we went to the reception:

This reception was loud and the singers and music and announcer were a little annoying. i can see now a greater appreciation for all my sisters wedding receptions. i didnt like them then but compared to this one it was a blast. but there were some good dancers here:

One thing that was really cool was we were able to go to the bachleor party that was the night before the marriage. after fhe on tuesday night we got a sleep over invite to sams house. we of course went excited for the food and the experience and it was a really fun time. it gave us more time one on one with more members i made some pretty good friends do to it:

We ended up not staying the night but thats all good. let me tell ya though eating a lot at the bachelor party, then again at the wedding my stomach for teh first time has disagreed with the indian food. My mentor, Jayakumar, at work told me that weddings do that though. so i guess it was just too much to handle but im better now so no worries!
