Amishi Earth Angel From India 

""When the one man loves the one woman

and the one woman loves the one man,

The very angels desert heaven

and come and sit in that house and sing for joy."

~The Braham Sutras

Amish represents the innocencence of a young bride

on her wedding day.

A wedding in India is a very sacred time for all

"brides to be" and it is highly celebrated with different

rituals for many days.

The marriage is not just about two people

coming together but rather two families as well.

Both families come together to celebrate the union

and give their blessings.

On the morning of her wedding,

a young bride takes a moment to reflect on her life

and how she is moving on to a new horizons and 

new responsibilities.

It is a sweet and precious time for the bride.

This painting represents this very private and tender

contemplative moment.

Marriage…

Trust is the start of it,

And joy is a big part of it,

But love is always at the heart of it.

"When the one man loves the one woman
and the one woman loves the one man,
the very angels desert heaven
and come and sit in that house and sing for joy."

~The Brahma Sutras

What I Learned

Every culture and every family has their own
special traditions and rituals 

for the wedding ceremony,

but one thing seems to be common,

 it is a very sacred time to celebrate two lives

 coming together as one.

I enjoyed learning about the traditions 

and sacred rituals of India for the wedding day.

Celebrating this rite of passage with the entire 

family reminds us to hold the bride and groom

together in love and harmony.
