I am going to 'win' Friday this week. We are going to an Indian Mehndi (pre-wedding event) and I get to wear my fancy new traditional Indian dress

thingie for one of Dave's friends who is marrying into an Indian family. :) my dress (not a sari - it's teh dress-pants combo-y thing) is sort of a salmon pink and gold brocade deal with burgandy trim. there will be pics!

they are having a typical north american wedding saturday, which will be fine, but *tomorrow* is going to be awesome!

Do you have the jewelry to go with it? We have an Indian enclave nearby and the stores are full of the heavy jewelry. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 30, 17:07 6

      - so you got the tunic/pants? great color for you. And definitely do big eye makeup. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 17:14 1
        
        yep. apparently that, more than saris, is what is approrpriate (so i'm told). - Andie Aug 30, 17:16
You get beautiful temporary tattoes on your hands? -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 30, 17:06 8
- well, that's part of it - there is food, and dancing, and a ceremony of some sort. - Andie Aug 30, 17:08 5
  - Depends on how long you leave it on to begin with and how much you wash. - the liioulu with Aug 30, 17:16 4
    - yeah, i'm not risking that. (hilariously, the bride *hates* henna tattoos and is only doing a minimal one to humour her mother) -- nm - Andie Aug 30, 17:18 3
      - It is considered lucky for the wedding. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 30, 17:23 1
        
        the bride is from India. -- nm - Andie Aug 30, 17:57
      - And how hard and chlorinated your water is. - the liioulu with Aug 30, 17:21
- And shalwar kameez (various spellings)? -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 30, 17:07 1
  - yep! -- nm - Andie Aug 30, 17:09
