Saturday, I went to a wedding reception for Vijay from work. He was marrying some girl named Mamatha M. It was not a love marriage, it was an arranged marriage. I'm told about 90% of marriages in India are arranged. The girl never gets a say in it, but the guy can see a picture of her first and choose. Of course, you pretty much have to marry someone in your same caste (social class), or you'll disgrace your family name. But Vijay's woman seemed nice enough. So here's a few photos from the event.
Vijay and Mamatha. Vijay's got a gnarley mustache.
They had to stand on the stage for like 2 hours while people came up to have photos taken with them. 
Here is a photo of me and my team at said event.
In case you wanted to see what India looks like, here's a short video I took while driving through the countryside in Tamil Nadu last week.

Very cool post. Love the video and the info. I was speaking with My crisis Line boss tonight and he went into raptures over Indian Food when I mentioned you were there. So eat up. Others in the world wish they could eat the food you are putting up with. :)
Love ya!

So apparently India is pretty much like East Milton only without rebel flags hanging from the trailer windows.

now did you realllllly take that video? :) how did you get music on it!!!!

Lots of India makes East Milton look like paradise. The food is good, but spicy, and there's a lack of beef that is disheartening. I did take the video, the music was our driver's car radio.
I enjoyed the most delicious Arby's Chicken/Bacon/&Swiss sandwich the other day. I also ate all eight of my mozzarella sticks. MMmmmm.
I just thought I'd share that beautiful story with you.
;)
wow rrr I am really jealous. Also, I am surprised that you would feel it's acceptable to taunt me with such visions of grandeur. But, I eat chicken every single day in India, so a thickburger story would have been more effective. haha
funny how I wasn't the only one who thought the video looked very similar to east milton... are you sure you're not just hididng out somewhere there and finding a bunch of indian people to pose in pictures??? =)
Maybe I am, maybe I ain't.
Alright, I wasn't going to say anything at first, but after multiple people have contacted me I have to say this...
I'm going to clobber you at my soonest opportunity. No, I won't be fixing your shoes, but I will be punching you (probably in your right shoulder blade) because you won't stop telling the whole sinking state of Florida that they should be doing all that they can do to get back a movie that has always been mine! Suuuure, I did wrap it up but that was just because I had just bought some new wrapping paper that day and I had to try it out. Everyone knows that I love wrapping things up, whether they are gifts or not is often irrelevant. Secondly, I also recall giving you a disclaimer before you opened it up, and it went something like this: "Okay, this isn't really for you but I was so exciting to get it in the mail today and I knew that you would like it too so I just wrapped it up to add to the suspense and surprise and excitement! ...but it's really mine! Now open it!" Sooooo, I'm sorry that you don't seem to recall all of that, maybe you were playing Halo or something, but that's really what happened, so come off it! =)
P.S.
I'm pretty sure that you stole some of my* books, so even if this was your movie (but it's not) you would have no room to talk. And do you have any idea how many times I cleaned our bathroom?! And cooked for you with food that I bought?! ...Right. So, consider my continued ownership of my movie as a parting gift if that helps.
*By "my" I mean that I bought them before our marriage so there is no way that you can claim them as joint custody... and I still want them back in 5 years. ;)
You are completely right, I have no rights to that movie at all. I apologize for spreading vicious rumors regarding your passion for stealing movies. I'm just glad I introduced you to a movie that you like so much. enjoy!
Sweet Soundtrack on the video. Can I download that song from napster?
