We're Married!!!

So, as our days are winding down in the beautiful country of Nepal, our friends here had a little surprise for us . . .a Nepali wedding!! No, not attending someone else's, our own :-).
So, today, we got married! Our hosts here are so nice and hilarious - it was such a great demonstration of their love for us and how we are officially a part of their family. And they also said that since we have been "married" in front of them, we are now held to an even greater degree of accountability in our marriage :-)!

Getting Ready: So, just like on our first wedding day over two and a half years ago, someone did my hair and make up and then of course dressed me because putting on a Sari takes years to learn (at least it would for me) :-).



Hot, I know. Check out my eyes! :-) I could not stop my eyes from watering when she was applying all the eyeliner. It was awesome.

Justin had to get ready for the big day too - he could get most of his outfit on himself, but not all of it (the belt was a little tough), so he was helped as well.


Ceremony time: Justin had to explain to the officiator how much he loved me.


And of course, as a demonstration of our love, we exchanged rings (which was easy since we already had them).



It's official! We've now been married on two sides of the globe! Check out the knife Justin got to wear for the ceremony! He was pretty upset that it wasn't included in the deal. But don't worry, everything else we're wearing was, so you might see us walking around Denver in this get-up :-).



Picture Time: It was so great having guests with no stress over the guest's list and invitations!


Aren't these guys awesome? We are so going to miss this place!

Reception Time: Complete with wonderful Nepali snacks and Coke! :-)



And, one last picture of the newly married couple, from head to toe.





Now, in two days it's off on our honeymoon. Where do we get to go......Mother Russia!! It might be a little different than Tahiti :-).

  1. So much fun! I think we miss the boat by always having white wedding dresses in the States. Red is way cooler!! You look fabulous, girl!
