Bethany and Sage's wedding was actually considered quite small for an Indian wedding. They only had about 350 guests or so.....people came from all over the world though. I think something like 30 countries were represented. Over 50 cities.

What was amazing to me was the amount of Sage's family that attended. Aunts, uncles, cousins, 2nd, 3rd, 4th cousins. They were all there. And they all knew each other. Most of them don't even live in India anymore, yet they still make the effort to attend each other's weddings, and get together over the holidays. To me, it was quite remarkable.
Family is so, so important. At the end of the day, it is your family and friends that truly matter in this walk of life.
We attended an informal luncheon at one of Sage's aunts homes on Thursday. They made a delicious Indian lunch and it was really neat to be inside a Hyderabadi home.
That evening was a party at the Bilgrami Farm, about 45 minutes outside the city.
We were served delicious Indian kebabs.
Isn't Bethany's dress amazing? It's made of antique Indian silver.
It was such an honor to attend these events and to get a small glimpse into this family's relationships and traditions.
Thank you for letting us witness all of it!

You've sure got great photos! That was really a lot of fun. That would surely be remarkable, Indian weddings are really traditional and one of a kind.
