Rani marries the previous Elder Bahr

Elder Bahr is of Indian decent and was called to serve in India. After his mission he returned and proposed to our good friend Rani. Rani is in 2nd branch and we love her! She's very artistic and a sweetheart. We wish her the best in the marriage. As of now she has no visa and Brother Bahr has returned to the USA after the wedding. She's hoping to get the visa in the next few months. She is a beautiful bride.

The Ceremony conducted by President Prasad Rao Gudday.

After the wedding they had a reception outside the church. This was the beautiful backdrop decorated with REAL.....I repeat.....REAL Flowers! This is typical of most weddings. Beautiful flowers and beautiful dress.

Everyone who comes gathers with the bride and groom and it is tradition to have your picture taken with them, so we snapped a few photos ourselves!
Notice Rani has changed her dress. They wear a wedding dress and then change into a traditional and beautiful sari of choice.

This is The Elder's quorum presidents family. His wife, Kumari by Rani. Agentha, (Kumar's sister just baptized a few months ago) in mustard yellow sari with her 2 boys. Her boys were also baptized. And Ammon in traditional dress with cheezy smile! He is Kumar and Kumari's son. Sister Anu is by Kumari. She is the sweet lady who lives in Mettiguda who is also very artistic. She made a beautiful crib at Christmas that I blogged. Anu has 3 beautiful daughters, Smitha, Hema, and Kavitha that I adore.

The other tradition at weddings is the feast. We are always fed a very huge and wonderful meal.
