Contrast program…
by Enrico Fabian
Suddenly your are surrounded by hundreds of people dressed in fine Sarees and suits.
A band is playing the drums while the groom appears on a white horse that is almost as fancy as the person sitting on it.
The sun is slowly setting over the ocean framing the wedding altar with a gold glimmering halo.
Ancient holy Sanskrit texts are recited and suddenly a man and a woman become bride and groom.
People clap, wish well, sing, hug, celebrate, dance, eat, chat, drink, smoke.
An Indian wedding.
It’s a stark but also appreciated contrast to the last days and weeks.
Long live the married couple!
And everyone else too!
