A co-worker of Darren was getting married and we were super excited when we were invited. We headed down to Madurai in Tamil Nadu with another co-worker of Darren's and travel buddy Paul.
Taking a sleeper car train in India is a blast. This time it was an AC two tier sleeper (we left at 8 pm for an arrival into Madurai at about 6 am). We had a wonderful time exploring Madurai – spent some time exploring the main temple and surrounds… Madurai is a fabulous city.
The wedding was a two day, beautiful affair – so I brought two saris – but I think the bride had about 10 – ALL were stunning! We were honored with being asked to bless the bride and groom.
The food was fab and eating off banana leaves in a massive dining hall is an experience not to be missed!
Then we went to the first part of the wedding
The next day we headed, very early, to the second part of the wedding…Darren in his doti and me in my second sari.
Bride and Groom
If you don't know what a South Indian Wedding sounds like, this will give you a small taste….these guys played throughout the entire ceremony just about on both days!!!! Not sure if your man was quite pleased about the video I was taking…..
