Today I was lucky enough to be at a Bengali wedding. There were 1,000 guests in a huge salon full of colorful lights. The bride was gorgeous and both seemed very happy. We had a Bangladeshi meal, spicy but very delicious. The best part of the evening was the getting ready. We went to the house of a friend’s aunt in the evening and then we went shopping together with her daughter. We bought beautiful Saris with accessories (a t-shirt, trouser to wear underneath the sari and a pair of shoes). Then we went back to the house and got ready for the event. We have make up put on our faces and our hair was done up. The ladies of the house helped us to put on the sari. It’s a difficult job.
Imagine a very long piece of material wound round your body many times. We spent an hour an a half dressing up. The women who helped us were very kind and sweet.
We had a nice moment of intimacy these women, although our cultures are different, we felt the complicity of the genre and we laughed a lot.
That was a very interesting evening. Here are some photos to see the clothes and the wedding.
