: Good job Jewel!
: I liked the Indian feet in particular. Some unique design
elements.
: Keep posting; it's lovely to see your work!
:
: : PHEW! It's finally OVER!! Hani's wedding started on Wednesday
: : morning. They had their marriage solemnised that day. I did her
: henna
: : the night before. The Meccan henna stained a glorious deep red on
: her
: : fingertips. I used Navaid's natural paste for the patterns. Hani
: : wanted Moroccan (YAY!) so I chose a Loretta Roome inspired
pattern
: : for the top of her hands. I started about midnight right after
the
: : last guests left my house. By the time I finished both tops, she
: was
: : already nodding off, which makes it difficult for me to work
faster
: : as she kept twitching her hands and stretching all the time. For
: her
: : palms, I reproduced a pattern I did before. The next day, the
: stains
: : were dark and lovely.
: :
: : On Friday morning, Hani went through the customary Chinese tea
: : ceremony at Dan's place (Dan is Chinese Muslim). Later that
: evening,
: : Dan's family hosted a sit-down dinner for about 300 guests at a
: hotel
: : for his relatives and friends and on Sunday my family hosted a
: buffet
: : lunch reception for our relatives and friends. Mom must have
: invited
: : about 1,200 people (Golly gee!). It was a wonderfully colourful
and
: : cheery occasion. The bride and groom was dressed in a traditional
: : Malay costume. They were escorted to the banquet hall amidst
: banging
: : from the "kompang" group, a traditional Malay instrument, like a
: flat
: : drum, played in a group of 10 - 12 people, with loud singing
: usually
: : praising God and prophet Muhammad. The bride and groom sat on a
: : beautifully decorated dias like a King & Queen while guests took
: : turns to be photographed with them. I decorated the bridal car
and
: : made the hand bouquet for Hani.
: :
: : Together with my mom and brother, I tended to the guests, lots of
: : kisses and hugs were exchanged as we meet relatives and old
: friends.
: : I was exhausted by the end of the day but thankful that
everything
: : went as planned. It was nice seeing all those people again. I
: didn't
: : get to henna my cousins 'cos I was too busy doing millions of
other
: : things. Oh well, we will plan a henna party soon, to make up for
: : that :).
: :
: : I want to share some pics from the wedding with all of you. I
wish
: : all of you could have been there :). Thanks for the best wishes!

: : Love & peace,

50
