One of my utmost ambitions whilst in India was to be formally invited to a traditional Indian Wedding. I didn't know if we would be lucky enough to be in a position to know someone getting married whilst we are here living in India but the thought excited me.
When I visited my friend Gareth earlier in the week, he assured me that we will receive numerous invitations as he and his partner has during their assignment here in Vadodara.
Last night, Bruce arrived home from work and handed me our very first Indian Wedding Invitation from one of his work colleagues due to take place on Friday the 30th January 2015. I didn't expect to get one so quickly....we've only been here for 11 days....
The invitation reads as follows:
"Invitation Wedding Reception
Mr & Mrs Gandhi
