The final part of Zarina and Faisal’s wedding happened in Wichita, Kansas, where Faisal’s family received the new bride into the family. Because their two families are from different areas of Pakistan, there are some different customs, one being that Faisal’s tradition includes a lot of gold to be worn by the bride. The veil by itself was 10 pounds or so, with some rather weighty earrings. Even with all the inconvenience, or maybe because of it, it just made the day feel incredible to witness.
I am actually a little sad that this will be my last post of their wedding. I’ve really enjoyed this literal and figurative journey with them. The experiences and relationships shared through these events have been an incredible blessing.
Even though it was probably very heavy, she looked like she could have worn that adornment for days and days, she is so very in love. On another note, I love the way your blog is set up, it’s one of my favorites to look at.
