Sabena's Wedding

My friend Sabena got married the weekend of October 17th and 18th at the Omni Mandalay in Las Colinas. Her family knows how to party! First, there was a Sangeet party on Friday night. It was cool because girls could get mendhi (also known as henna) on their hands and Sabena got it from her fingertips to her elbows and from the tips of her toes to her knees! It was so cool! I got it on my hand and it's still there, but faded. Then, Saturday morning was her religious ceremony, Seik, and afterward we had lunch. Then it was Arpit's religious ceremony, Hindu. Then it was the reception. Needless to say, Joseph and I had a blast but were exhausted!

Kristen, Sabena & me at Sabena's first ceremony. We were required to cover our heads and remove our shoes. We also had to sit on the ground the entire time. Needless to say, my hips began to hurt... I'm so old!

Joseph and his sexy Siek "do-rag." He definitely brought sexy back in this little get up!


This is where they got married. It's inside the Omni Mandalay in one of the ballrooms but it was transformed completely! So pretty!
