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.!

THE SHOES, ARIFUL WORE AT THE WEDDING RECEPTION, which is very typical for Bengali wedding attire.

Day 139

WAITING FOR THE GROOM TO ENTER the reception hall, and toss glitter on him.  They even had some left and tossed it on me after I went inside.  The one young boy apologized, probably for his little sister, but I told him it was no problem.
