Covid Crowds? No problem

Our old neighbors from when we first moved here had the twin girls, remember? I chronicled one of them getting married, and I posted about all the different parties we went to. First the engagement. Next, the "casual" reception in a prom dress. And then finally, the fancy reception where they left together. Feel free to go back and look at them. They are quite fascinating.

This is the other twins' engagement. Since we left the country shortly after this, we didn't get to attend the other parties.

If you remember, there are knocks on the door, and then she enters in a room where only men are, including her future spouse and a religious leader. Her aunt also went in with her.

They do whatever it is they do inside that room, and then, this time, instead of staying inside (I'm guessing because of Covid), we all went outside.

I can't say that there was any social distancing or any masks for that matter.

I couldn't believe the number of people!

During this time, parties like this were prohibited, but we were told it would be a "small" affair.

This is one of the relatives of the groom getting the gold ready. This is part of her dowry, given to her.

And here he is putting it on her. Earrings, belt, and necklace.

You can see how big the necklace is in the last picture.

We left WAY before it was over, but we just felt like it wasn't the safest place to be, and we were still wanting to fly to America.

 

However, we took a picture with the bride and groom before we left, and then a sweet friend sent this on her phone to me once we were in America.
