My trip to Bangladesh

As most of you guys know, that quite while ago, I went to Bangladesh again to attend Tonima (My cousin) and Salman's wedding. Me and my mum left on the 21 June and had stayed there for 3 weeks but I did miss my dad who we had to leave behind. There was nine events.

First there was the bridal shower. (I will probably present this you guys in class so then I will explain what some of you probably won't understand.)












Then there was an event where you put hena on, in Bengali you call it "Me-hi-di" Tonima and Salman both had it... These are photos of Tonima's "Me-hi-di"





When we went to Salman's "Me-hi-di" We made Tonima go in a disguise. Because usually the bride is not allowed to attend the groom's events. So we disguised Tonima as one of my grandmother's friend, but sadly the groom recognised her the first time she came in!

Now it was Tonimas's holud.




Some of my relatives and I danced at her holud.


Salman also came.


Now it was Salman's holud.


Tonima was sick of coming disguised so she just went as herself.


Now was the signing of the papers that actually makes them officially married. But sadly I dont have any pictures for this event. So how many events so far...I think about 6, 3 to go!



Now is the wedding. :D




I wore a Sari...
(the person beside me is my cousins wife.)




And that is my mum's cousin.

The ceremony has begun...




Last but not least. The paint fight. We used powdered paint.

So thats it. I'll explain alot more stuff in class. Hope you liked my short summary of my trip.
