Indian Wedding Reception @ The Coal Exchange

by Carla on August 14, 2006

Today I witnessed an interesting sight where I work – I saw a horse drawn carriage deliver a beautiful dressed Indian bride and groom to their wedding reception. Many family and friends had gathered even on a Monday afternoon. It was amazing to see such powerful animals working in such a graceful way. My colleagues and I puzzled over the mix of cultures going on to celebrate the beginning of another marriage.

Friday will be my last day in work for a week or so as we take some time off to prepare for our niece’s wedding on Saturday 26th August. Neil and Jonthan will be taking the official photographs and Zoe and I will just look gorgeous!!! It will be a very special day for our family as Esther and Chris become man and wife. This is the first wedding of their generation in both our immediate families. 4 days later Neil and I celebrate our 26th Wedding Anniversary!!!! We’ll be out for tea that night!

I’m so excited! I still can’t get my head round the fact my little sis is getting married. I’m so looking forward to seeing you all though :) Roll on next Saturday!!
