Global Daughter Lead Designer and production whiz, Lanjana was married this week in Kathmandu. Her wedding lasted one full week (yikes, right?) with one day for an engagement party, then two days later a wedding party and then two days later the actual wedding. Her wedding week included many traditional rituals. She comes from an ethnic group, Newars, who have a unique style of marriage ceremonials. It is a quite an experience to witness the pageantry of weddings in Nepal!
I was so excited to attend and support Lanjana during her wedding party. Newaris love a good time and eat the tastiest food! That meant loads of buffalo dishes and local spirits (roxi). This marriage was arranged by her parents (they chose her husband) and she is looking forward to living the life of a married woman. She will continue to work (yipppeee!) with Global Daughter as well as with a felt workshop in the Valley.
