2012 Day 7

I ATTENDED KAMAL PASHA’S WEDDING RECEPTION TODAY!  I had attended his Guy Holud on Thursday.  His bride, Hasina B Halim Pretty also had a Guy Holud and wedding which I was unable to attend.  I think Hasina is the first person I have chatted online with and then met in person.  She just returned this Winter from London.  It was a fun wedding to be at, with many TTLers attending.  Besides eating great Bengali food, people sitting with the Bride and Groom for photos is the main highlight of a Bengali Muslim wedding reception.

This was my first glimpse of Hasina, my friend Kamal's bride as she entered the Chowdury Community Centre for Kamal's wedding reception.!
