Bridal Baci

There is a traditional ceremony of good wishes and good luck which involves tying strings around the wrist and wishing good luck. We were lucky enough to visit a village where there was a wedding celebration. The bride was puzzled when I asked to take a picture of just her arm, but for me this summarized the spirit of the wedding party.

An interesting tradition! So glad you thought to shoot this, or we'd never know about it. I love the gold peeking though all the strings.
