More paying of respect...

Earlier in the day, the bride is showing her respect to the groom. Moments after the engagement ceremony.

I think the picture speaks for itself. They were paying respect to her uncle. He, in turn, accepted their homage with a gift - noted the thickness of the envelope. The bride's mother and my eldest sister (red) looking on with approval, in the background. The envelope was passed to me for safe keeping - I was petrified throughout the evening in case I lost it....


As I'm one of the bride's sisters, most of the pictures were taken from the bridal propective as well as those that appeared in them....
