Love is the overwhelming presence. - TRU
A few moments from my very first traditional Indian wedding. My maternal family and I gathered to celebrate the union of my cousin and his bride in beautiful Balito in Durban. This was my second trip to the warm coast and I was absolutely in love with this side of the world and deeply honored to bare witness and participate in a traditional Hindu ceremony. The brides family were so generous and provided us with traditional saris to wear, this was my first time in one and I didn’t want to take it off. To sing OM together in grace, dance together in joy and bless the hands and feet of the bride and groom with turmeric, as well as have my own Mehndi done was so special. The effort, the place, the natural splendour of this African earth and family gathering in love was a treat that my heart really needed. I Am thankful for the time well spent, the beauty adorned and the love well shared. - TRU

I Need Help
I’m an aspiring author and I need help writing a Hindu wedding scene. I myself have no experience with Indian traditions or culture, but I want to write this scene as accurately as possible.
The wedding takes place in New York City in the 1930s, between a Hindu woman and a white man. If anyone has any pointers or suggestions, or would like to beta write this, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
