Westbury Manor 6/04/05 Review - Added pics from Indian wedding
Original post by yuri219
I'm not a frequent poster here but since I've always loved reading other brides' reviews, I thought I'd leave one too.
We had a great wedding at the Westbury Manor!! The weather was *amazing* - they were forecasting rain since a week before, and throughout Friday night it was pouring. It was supposed to stop raining in late afternoon, but since my ceremony starts at 12:30 I was beginning to tell myself that it was no big deal...although I had loved the idea of an outdoor ceremony at the Manor. Well, I'm so happy the forecast is always wrong - it stopped raining while I was getting ready, and just as I stepped outside for pictures around 9:30, the sun came out!!! And we had a wonderful sunny day for the rest of our wedding!
Anyway... here are the reviews ---

Thanks everyone. I decided to add some pictures from our wedding in New Delhi, India - you might find them interesting
#1: Groom arrives on a white horse (can be an elephant too!) in a procession called baraat - accompanied by a marching band playing music and relatives/guests dancing around the groom. The bride awaits inside. #2: Me in a dress called Lehnga. Different from a sari - I really liked this one also. You can sort of see the henna pattern (Mehndi) on my hands. #3: Exchanging garlands #4: Part of the ceremony - we did a lot of things, circling around the fire, throwing puffed rice, butter, etc. into the fire... Each had a meaning which I unfortunately don't remember very clearly.
