Get'n Hitched





The next morning, on the way to the wedding. This is called the Barrat. The groom and family arrive in a decorated car (used to be on a horse in the olden days), with a band playing bhangra drum beats and lots of people dancing around. They are then received by the bride's family (called the Milni, or meeting). Incidentally, there's a lot of money being thrown around at Indian weddings. The lady in the orange with her hand up in the air in the first pic is throwing coins onto the car as it leaves. So much for rice.
