Preparing the Groom

As Srikanth's (the groom's) guests, Matt and I were invited to the ceremony to prepare the groom. Basically, Srikanth's whole family was there, and a Brahmin priest. The ceremony

was quite long, and the the priest was chanting the whole time. At one point, all of the women in the family poured oil on the grooms head and wished him luck in his marriage. It was very interesting...the best part was the singing of the family members.
