{My first Mendhi}






The beautiful Arti got hitched a month back, and I've been remiss in sharing photos. Here are some from her Mendhi ceremony, the day before the wedding, when her husband's name was decorated onto her palm with henna. It was a painstaking process, involving lemon juice, sugar, and lots of patience. The house smelled of sweet Indian spices—her mother's cooking is not to be missed—and the family spent a lot of time fawning over the newest member of the family (adorable Jivan, below). I’ll post photos of her actual wedding ceremony soon. They’re bright and colorful and not to be missed.
