Last weeknd and Wedding!

First, here is a picture of me with my doormen, see how much cooler they are than the other guys. They were so unbelievable and could kick any other doorman's butt!

On Saturday, I met my team at a place called Akshardham Temple. The temple is amazing, simply put. Although they do not allow electronics, so no were cameras allowed, it was one of the best places I visited. It was the best experience mainly because it was not like any of the other temples, this one was more like Disney World on the inside. They had 3 main shows and they all were describing the history if India and had in depth details about India’s culture. We spent over 6 hours here and still didn’t get to see everything.

We did take pictures by photographers, for a fee, of course!

By far this was my favorite place in New Delhi. I learned so much about the history of India and their values and heritage, it was awesome.

On Monday night, I went to a real Indian wedding, OMG seriously … this wedding blows ours out of the water. It is so elaborate, it would be considered a BIG wedding in the states and I was told this was normal. Again, another great experience.

The groom arrives to the event first, on a horse with his family celebrating and dancing around him. It took about 45 minutes for him to walk up to the alter.

Then his bride arrived and met him on the stage where they exchanged leis. Then everyone celebrated their union and the alter rotated while shredded roses were shot out of a machine all around them covering the guests.

They proceed to another stage to greet their guests and get best wishes and pictures taken. While the party has dinner and socializes. This was only the first 3 hours and I was told it lasts around 24 hours. Sometimes can last a week, either way, it was so extraordinary!

I am sad and happy to say, I am leaving India today. I had a great time and saw some incredible places and met many amazing people. Now I am off to Ireland for a week long trip so more picture and stories to come! Wishing everyone a Happy Fourth of July, loving you!
