........In other news......

So a midst all of the baby chick excitement, we are actually in the midst of a family wedding.  Asian weddings can be very extravagant and consist of many events (minimum 3). Last night we went to the brides family house for a traditional ladies night of dholaki (traditional drum), ladies singing out of tune, the grooms family coming with gifts and a good laugh. With our family being from the grooms side we were the ones baring gifts (which we made ourselves). Here are a few pictures from last night
