What a wonderful opportunity to be able to attend the marriage of the daughter of my Nepali family. The week leading up to Saturday was full of people coming and going, every day something different being cooked in our backyard, and the neighbours’ backyards some days. Puja and Dipendra had so many different duties to fulfil, some alone and others with her parents, lead by a charming and laughing priest. This all took place in the front garden, transformed for the day. Towards the end of the afternoon the bride’s father gave many gifts to Dipendra and his family before a truck was loaded up with furniture and the couple set off to his family’s home for another round of ceremony and celebration.
