The groom and wedding guests before the wedding
I'm always on the lookout for wedding moments and never know when I'm going to find them. Last Saturday morning I was at a conference at a hotel in suburban New Jersey. I was listening to a panel discussion on mystery novels when a Baraat -- the procession before a Hindu or Sikh wedding - went past the window in front of me. The panel was interesting, but I had to go outside and see the procession.
The groom traditionally is led to the site of the wedding on a Ghodi, or white horse. He is accompanied by family, groomsmen and friends, and in this case, Buttercup. The groom was also accompanied by a drone -- top center of the picture -- which was there to capture all of the pre-wedding festivities. I was awed by the beautiful clothes that the guests were wearing. Alas, I didn't get to see the bride.
It's a beautiful summer day in New York today. I'm feeling very sloth-like, but I'm going to get a few long overdue errands out of the way and then plan a visit to the Metropolitan Museum. What are your plans for the rest of the weekend?
As ever, thanks for visiting and keep cool!

What a sight this was! Some of those clothes are gorgeous!! The horse is dressed real fancy too. The first thing I noticed was the drone. Wish I could go to the museum with you. Wonder if they allow cell phone cameras?
You see so many amazing things there in the big city. We went for a drive this morning and now I'll take it easy. Watch some football! lol Hugs!
That is one thing that is so cool and wonderful about New York City - and the wonderful thing is you live there - not like you are at a hotel or something - you can see anything anytime! Loved it.
Carol, I swear there's always something interesting going on around you. I would have loved seeing that wedding. I plan to relax this weekend, too many mornings getting up at 5 . Blessings, xoxo, Susie
The groom and the horse are amazing and such colorful clothes the guests are wearing. My brother (in CA) has a drone and captures some lovely videos to share with me. Makes me feel like I am part of his day with his grandchildren and where they have visited. I made my weekly trip to Walmart and parked beside a meticulously restored 1930 era Plymouth painted canary yellow. An older gentleman and his tiny chihuahua were waiting for someone and I enjoyed chatting for a moment.
When I was younger and hiked many waterfalls in n. GA, I would often see weddings beside the waterfalls. That was always a thrill!
Have an enjoyable rest of the weekend.
Beautiful! I love weddings! We will be attending one next month and I look forward to seeing all of my grandkids and Great-granddaughter all gussied up:) Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!
That was quite an usual wedding group. Makes me wonder if the bride had a horse too. It's a quite weekend for me as usual. I go to Sunday morning church services and them home for relaxing afternoon wiatching a movie or reding a book. The weather is beautiful so I'll probably be on the sunporch . We're had some perfect summer weather this past week and got to get outside to enjoy it.
