 __My Journal __  On Friday 31st me and my sister was tidying up the whole house, because on Sunday there was a wedding so we thought that if we tidied the house today then on Saturday we would be able to put henna on our hands. After we had finished we were exhausted and we were really tired. Then we had some lunch it was really yummy, we had rice with this vegetable mix it was tasty. Saturday 1st: We woke and tidied the house not the whole house just downstairs. Then we had lunch and then after lunch me my mum and my brother went to Tesco and had to do some shopping for groceries and we brought the usual stuff like milk, bread, buns and margarine. Then after when we came back we put henna on our hands, my sister put it on me first we got some designs from the internet but when we put henna on you have to wait for ages about 2 to 3 hours so it comes out nice and dark my left hand came out dark but my right hand came out quite light.

Sunday 2nd: Today was the day of the wedding I realised that my right hand got darker it was really nice. We had get ready quick so I put on my black and blue salwar-kameez it was sophisticated and had intricate decorations. So after we had got ready we went inside the car I took a book with me because it was a long journey it takes about 2 and a half hour to get there. The wedding was at the Marriot hotel. When we had got there I woke up because I was half asleep and I saw the hotel it was really humongous, very elegantly decorated. When we went inside the hotel they were giving non alcoholic drinks in beautiful champagne flutes. There were also chocolates on everyone’s napkins. There was a wide variety or drinks such as orange, peach, mango and also lemonade. I quite fancied the orange one after all it is my favourite. Then my cousin showed me round the hotel we went to the toilets. It was the first time I had been to a toilet that played classical music and there was even seating arrangements as well which we made full use of when we waited for one another. Then we went and saw the bride and her family. The bride was looking all shy and coy just as a bride should do in our culture. She was decked up in the most eye catching jewellery and a rich crimson red lengha (top and skirt what big shawl). Her sister and the bridesmaids also looked lavish as they wore sea green saris as that were the colour theme. They all sat on a great big white and gold stage decorated beautifully with fresh, full of fragrance roses. We even went and sat with them on the stage, it all made me a bit nervous.



We left a while after the wonderful lunch and set upon the long journey home. I really did enjoy the wedding it has got to be the highlight of my summer holidays.

Monday 3rd: We woke up and had breakfast then I remembered that we will be fasting soon to tell the truth fasting is quite hard without no food or drink.
