Weddings!

  My Wedding Picture

John and I were married on Sunday, May the Tenth, Nineteen Hundred and Eighty One.  The day I could not stop smiling!  At 9 o'clock in the morning in St. Andrew's Orthodox Church, Secunderabad.  We had known each other for eleven years! That was the happiest day in my life because sorrow had not yet touched it...

It was also the happiest occasion for the Oommens -  no-one ever imagined that tragedy would strike so swiftly and so suddenly...

No other country in the world would have so many different kinds of weddings and wedding dresses!  A typical  Church of South India (Anglican) bridal procession...

Most Indian Catholic and Protestant brides would dress like this...

An Orthodox Syrian Christian bride....the shimmering sari she is holding is the"Mantrakodi" - a gift from the
bridegroom...
