Move to Virginia, Day 3

On Sunday, we paused our journey in Amarillo to attend my friend Neena's wedding. We've been friends since middle school and we were glad to be able to go to the ceremony. We made it to event 6 of 9, but it was definitely an amazing experience! She had a very traditional Indian ceremony complete with several important rituals, sacrifices, costume changes, piles of rice, henna decoration, and a procession on a horse!

His groomsmen led the way with dancing to the drumbeats!
