Shelly and Mo's Wedding

I went to Cleveland for my mom's cousin's wedding. The bride and groom were Shelly and Mohit. There were 4 events. The Mendhi, the Sangeet, the ceremony, and the reception.

Mendhi is brown paint that when you take off what you painted appears on your hand. There were two Mendhis. One was for the bride, me, and Sam. The other was for everybody else. There was also a puja where everybody was singing and praying.

At the Sangeet, lots of people did dances for the bride and groom. Here's a video of our dance:


After all the performances, we had dinner and then everybody got on the dance floor and danced. Mom's cousin Mayank put me on his shoulders to get me on to the dance floor. It was fun and I got really sweaty.

The next day was the Wedding. First there was the baraat, which is the groom riding on a horse and everybody dancing around him. Next was the ceremony and then a lunch. 

Last was the reception, but Sam and I didn't go. Mom and Dad took pictures though, so you can see what happened!
