On our way to Dubuque for a wedding and stuck in CVG… Delays at O’Hare I think. Keeping myself amused with my friend Denis’ blog. His kids are a riot.

Amit’s and Hemi’s wedding was incredible. We arrived around 2:30PM and had some time to kill before the barat. Abhay and I met the horse (Shirly or Cindy, can’t remember) on which Amit would be riding during the barat. We thought about feeding her something funny or telling her that Amit likes to eat horses so she’d at least give him a ride to remember, but thought better about that plan and decided just to pet her. For the wedding we dressed up in western clothes – I’d heard dinner would be a buffet so I had been looking forward to wearing the Indian pants with the really big drawstring.

The flow of the wedding went barat, bride and groom meeting, wedding, cocktail hour(s), speeches, dinner, and dancing. I tried to take photos not just of Amit and Hemi but also of the people (especially our friends) at the wedding so we could show the couple what a good time everyone was having. I posted the best shots in our photo gallery.

The entire night went so well and everyone had a great time. I, of course, had a little too much to eat – the buffet was awesome, Indian pants would have come in handy. All in all we had an excellent time.

Sarita and I got decked out in Indian clothes last night and gathered with friends at Hemi’s & Amit’s Garba.

It was good to see the bride and groom both looking so relaxed and enjoying the night as well.

We met the Cinelli’s cutie daughter who responded with a “hi” back to me when I said hello. Her parents, clearly used to her talking, found me amusing when I said “Did you see that, she said hello?!?” Guess that doesn’t qualify as news around the Cinelli household.

Something that did qualify as news to most of our friends (including me) was that Posh and Veeps are moving back to Cinci; though I don’t know if Fairfield really qualifies as Cincy, but we’ll take ‘em anyway. I say to most of our friends because apparently Sarita, Amit, and Hemi have known this was happening but it just didn’t make it to the grapevine (AKA Manisha) and clue the rest of us in.

Bena and Abhay stayed with us for the night which gave us a chance to chit-chat about hybrid automobiles, car accidents, and all sorts of other fun things.

I posted more photos from the night in our photo gallery, head on over to check them out!
