Big fat Indian wedding

Can I just say how relieved I am that my wedding came before Lavanya's, because no event ever is going to live up to this one. Also, she looked absolutely, positively beautiful:

5 events in 7 days, a couple thousand people, lots of food & booze and more costume changes, songs and dances than a Bollywood film. I don't generally like to resort to photos for a blog update, but in this case I really have no other option:

Lavanya, incapacitated by her drying henna, manages a quick drink.
