Most stay a day or 2 past the wedding, and then one by one they seem to disappear. Each leave in a dramatic whirlwind of hugs, kisses, and feet touching (depending on where they fall in the elder hierarchy). They are walked all the way down and everyone waves after the cab like the leaving relative is going off to war. It is sweet and dramatic at the same time.
The house today is totally empty, which is a sigh of relief for all. The stress of having so many people over, having to feed them, they utilize all your facilities (including someone taking the liberty of swiping my body soap!), having to pay for their transportation, and just the overall mess of having so many people around is overwhelming at times. The house had slowly normalized and the furniture is all put back and the rental 'beds' and pillows(don't get me started) will be picked up tonight.
You might be wondering why I haven't written about the wedding specifically and that is because I am a little technically challenged this round and don't have a laptop to use or a way to get my DSLR pics uploaded here so honestly the beauty of the wedding will be lost without the pictures so I would rather wait to share.
Next up- a wedding reception in thesmall town of Guwahati in India's far Northern belt which borders Bangladesh and Bhutan on either side. Never a dull moment!
