her big day..

[[july 16th - july 31st]]

back in july, 2016, my sister in law(husband's younger sister) got married. it was a very traditional pakistani wedding. it was grand, beautiful, and long!! those were crazy hectic days but they were so, so much fun. my own wedding wasn't nearly as traditional as hers, because i skipped out on half the events that could've happened. but i was glad she went through with it. i'd never experienced a true desi wedding so i really enjoyed it :) but because i know my in laws are more private, i won't be sharing their pictures. but i will share as much as a i can. (mostly me, husband, and my family)
