Our favorite doorman, “Mas”, invited us to his daughter’s wedding a few weeks ago. After extensive research on etiquette for Muslim weddings, we headed across town in our fancy clothes. Mas welcomed us warmly and introduced us to all of his family, including the bride, with whom we are seated in this picture. We ate fabulous Indian food and listened to a band play traditional Indian music. The women were dressed magnificently, in colorful traditional sarees with beautiful jewelry. Every family member Mas introduced us to asked us if we had eaten - even the bride, who said “nice to meet you. Have you eaten yet?” Some things are a part of every culture!
