We were sent to get Archana ready for the 5PM wedding. She brought nothing with her but the clothes on her back. We needed a white saree (hard to find!). Once we got that we had to get a tailor to agree to stitch a blouse for it in under 4 hours. I went to my own tailor (who takes usually a week or more to stitch my stuff) and she agreed to do it.
Once that was out of the way we needed a veil, underwear (she literally came in only what she had on), a petticoat for under the saree, bangles for her wrists, earrings, pins and hairclips, sandals.
It all came to about $25. (How many fathers are considering sending their daughters to India to get married now!)
Vinita had the bouquet and a circlet for the veil.
The cake and garlands were taken care of by the menfolk. Vinita and I got Archana ready and that’s that.
(Please ignore the sidewase picture, I didn't have time to fix it.)
