Day One

The Mehndi

Wednesday, May 12, 2027

Welcome and mehndi ceremony.

Join us for a welcome dinner. Women in attendance may participate in our Mehndi ceremony and receive a henna design.

Henna is made from dried, powdered leaves, and imprints the iconic dark-brown hue traditionally used in Indian body art.

These beautiful henna patterns only last a few days, but its said the longer they do, the more happiness in our marriage.
