And when he decided to marry his Indian girlfriend, they flew a group of us to New Delhi for the wedding, a Hindu ceremony. It was the most beautiful thing. For two days, we celebrated that marriage. It was at the bride's family's house. We drank, ate, danced. She was decorated with the Mehndi designs all over her hands open mike and feet -- rich, rich red, nearly maroon, like blood, in these swirls and paisleys, and she was dressed in this sari open mike with gold embroidery of birds, butterflies, open mike flowers, her arms covered with bracelets and a gold band around her waist. Just lovely. When the groom arrived, there were fireworks and a band playing and he was showered with flower petals. They performed ceremonies where they held a red scarf between the two of them. There are so many things that they're required to do in the course of the ceremony - they walk around a fire, seven steps, and with each step they each proclaim their love for the other, and with every step the words become more passionate, until they vow lifelong devotion.
