Rehearsal dinner

Impressions of the rehearsal dinner from the J. & N. wedding: the food was delicious, and all home cooked, which is both impressive and delicious. Everyone was dressed beautifully, though I didn't take the pictures that M. implored me to take -- there was a full staff of photographers and video-recorders deployed throughout the crowd, capturing every moment for all digital eternity. Cousins performed dances. Sisters performed a violin/piano arrangement of the WoW theme. In accordance with tradition, cousins stole the groom's shoes from off his feet and ransomed them back to him (repeatedly). I don't know how they made the desserts so sweet.

Highlight: a crowd of people in saaris (sp?) dancing in a circle to loud LOUD pop-dance-hiphop music.


This post's theme quote comes from MM.: "Tomorrow's ceremony will be much more... Anglican."

Busy

I like some of the photos because of the time-lapse that's apparent. Ghostly traces left on the camera sensor while it collects sufficient light for a photo.
My hand sometimes moved, making edges and squiggles appear in the fireworks.


This post's theme word: decussate, "to intersect or cross."
