As all four of us were walking home from the store this morning, we got 'caught' in a wedding! Well, not quite I guess. We noticed the car with 2 rings on top pulling up to our apartment just as we were about to enter the stairway. Out jumped the groom carrying a boquet of flowers, as well as lots of his friends. As they got out the video camera and began taping, we tried to act inconspicuous... which is a little difficult with two very tired and whiny little girls, a bag full of groceries and a stroller. We did our best to push through the crowd up the steps to our apartment, but I'm pretty sure we were not able to avoid the video camera.
Oh yes, back to the wedding. We don't know too much about what takes place at Tuvan weddings (David asked our neighbor/language helper the other day some questions about weddings, but he didn't really know himself). But, we have observed that the groom comes to the bride's house to pick her up. What takes place after that, we have yet to find out. :D
