Went to a wedding yesterday- well strictly speaking not the actual wedding but the church blessing and reception but it was virtually the same thing.
It was an East meets West occasion. The bride is Indian and a lot of her family had flown in from Mumbai to attend - the groom's from Berkshire. One side of the church was all saris, the other was all middle class home counties suits and hats. It also lead to the reception being a wonderful mix of cultures - we were in a ballroom of a central London hotel, complete with chandeliers, tucking into curry, saag aloo and roti. The music was an entertaining mix of dance floor classics (Groove is in the Heart etc.) and Bollywood style numbers.
Importantly overall the day reflected the styles of the bride and groom - laid back and fun - and there are definitely worse ways to spend a Saturday.
