2 People 1 Life: Wedding 66 A Beautiful Ceremony in Pakistan

Happy Friday everyone and how are you all? I am so pleased it’s Friday, what about you? I hope you have got something either exciting or relaxing planned for the weekend, I think we all deserve a good break. Today we are back with Lisa and Alex from 2 people 1 life, last time we saw them in Turkey for wedding 63. Since then there has been Wedding 64 in Iraq and wedding 65 in Georgia. Today however we are joining them in Pakistan for Wedding number 66 and it’s something rather special.

Traditionally this is more of a ceremony where all of the women gather together and have henna applied a few days prior to the wedding. Of course we had squished a LOT of the traditions into one day, especially as we had only given Marium and IPlan Events 3 days total to plan the entire thing!

I just couldn’t choose so the women at the salon chose for me, firstly suggesting a design that went from my finger tips to my shoulders with matching feet and ankles! I managed to reign them in a little bit thinking of the time and we agreed on 2 designs, one for my palms and one for the back of my hands.
