> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > We didn’t - her family are fourth-generation immigrants, so the most Swedish thing about them is the name and some old furniture. She wore something Swedish but I forgot what it was. She also wore a _mangalsutra_ for part of the reception, and some of the traditional bridal bangles the whole time (I have no idea what those are called). > > My mother is throwing a Hindu marriage blessing ceremony/party for us, and we’ll both wear traditional dress (kurta, mandarin collar coat on me; sari for her) during the ceremony. That sounds nice to me, I have to ask…will you guys have a fire at the Hindu ceremony? 😃 Thanks for answering, I was curious how you guys incorporated various things. Nice and subtle it seems. And of course, congrats!! ---

I liked the wedding photo of that guy’s ear. That was excellent. Hope you took the opportunity to kick Ahmedinajad right in the dinajad. Now, stay away from here until after the honeymoon is over. ---

Before I noticed this was a zombie I thought “wow, that’s a long engagement” Then I noticed and I thought “what went wrong?” I’m glad nothing seems to have gone wrong. ---

Man, I need to do more vanity searches. I just noticed this thread was zombie-awakened in August. We celebrated our fifth anniversary this past May. Still happy and whole. Since I promised pictures but never posted them, I guess this is a good time to post [the wedding video](http://www.veoh.com/watch/v25652195gfFp26FP). It was shot by my sister-in-law, so the quality isn’t great. We plumped for an extra photographer instead of a videographer, which was probably a mistake. ETA: No little zombies yet. We’re not quite ready, though we’re close. ---

Very nice ceremony. Yeah, I watched the whole video. (I don’t have cable.) And because I feel that we are family. I followed you in law school, the bar exam and now the wedding. My eyes are watering. But seriously, congrats! I love LTR’s so keep it going. And still waiting for your visit, amigo. ---
