I experienced a family wedding in India quite a number of years ago and it was most certainly a colourful and drawn out affair. To give you some idea, the actual wedding itself happened on day 3! The total celebrations lasted three weeks and only finished when they couple arrived back from the honeymoon. In the meantime people just carried on celebrating!
Lovely stuff to see and I hope the couple in your shots have a long and happy life together
Cheers,
