Giles and Vinita's wedding

It is one of those things of hitting ones late twenties that more and more friends get engaged or married. Only one couple I am friends with has had a child, but it can't be long before others start sprouting.

So last Saturday - 20 August - saw S and I go to the wedding reception of Giles and Vinita in Twickenham. Giles and I became friends on the masters programme we did together.

I didn't know until recently that in India white is the colour of mourning, so at the wedding Vinita was in a white dress but for the reception changed into red.

The reception was lovely - lots of food, and a few other people I knew.

The strange thing about weddings is that people either get very drunk or a tad frisky. We saw a couple of people being taken home earlier in a rather worse for wear state, and there were a couple of couples who were clearly rather frisky.
