My Sister's Wedding

My sister’s wedding was a blast. She married Samit in an Arya Samaj ceremony on Beach number 7 in Havelock. This was in the Andaman islands, a literal slice of paradise, cut away from the rest of the world.

For a few days the tiny island buzzed with wedding guests who all flew down to Port Blair and then traveled some few more hours by boat to get to Havelock.

The island was pretty remote and far removed from the rest of the world...but oh so beautiful, lush and peaceful.

Virgin beaches. A view to die for. Glorious greenness all around. The perfect place for a wedding, a honeymoon and a vacation. Which was what it was!

Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

The Mahua trees lead to Beach #7 - where my sis got married...
Shaking a leg before D-Day!
Just married!
