A Nepali Wedding: the ceremony

Thursday, August 29

To see Part 1: Getting ready, click here. 

This day was a uniting of all that is important:
Two cultures were being merged, 
two families connecting in a unique way, 
and most importantly
two people becoming one. 

Catching the intimate moments between the families, the culture and Shona and Santosh was magical. 
{the father's meeting} 
{the mother's delight at their children uniting}
{Santosh's sweet sisters giving him a blessing!}
{the pastor and his wife bringing the word in English and Nepali!} 
  {finishing the ceremony with some delicious Nepali food!}

have a wonderful week lovelies! 
Kev and I are currently in Cambodia, 
and are beside ourselves with how much we LOVE this country! 
More on that later:) 

love Katie
