Our Big Fat Indian Wedding: Vatna and Choora

Since I keep falling further and further behind, I'm going to limit my explanations of these events to say; the Vatna is a ceremony where family and close friends put turmeric and yogurt paste on the bride and groom, and the Choora is a ceremony where my mother-in-law and sister-in-law place my wedding bangles on me. These wedding bangles, by tradition, are supposed to be worn for 40 days - during which time the bride is not allowed to do any house work. Not a bad tradition!!
