The Big Day. Avery and Safiqa were married during a civil ceremony performed by their professor and thesis advisor from grad school, Dr. Chris Dickey. The first picture is of a painting Avery made as a freshman in college that set the theme for the wedding. After the ceremony, the couple changed before the reception.

The second day of the wedding celebration was the Pithi. Family and friends bestowed blessings on the couple for a happy marriage and smeared turmeric paste on them to give a healthy glow on their wedding day. Safiqa asked us not to put any on Avery's face because she feared he might turn a splotchy orange in the photos. The couple each smashed a coconut which were later placed in a stream to wash away negativity.

Avery and Safiqa's three days of wedding celebrations began on May 27 with the Mehndi. This was a social time to allow the families and close friends a chance to become acquainted. Women received henna art - here is the elaborate design the bride had done on her hands, arms and feet. With a colorful backdrop and delicious food, we began the joyful process of joining two families into one. #nobuddybutyou (many photos provided by @dante_duval)

What have I been up to in addition to working on my second novel? Opening a small shop to sell antiques and collectibles. Check it out in person or stay tuned as we launch our online store.

A wonderful birthday surprise gift from my family. A one year membership to the Popcorn Parke Animal Refuge and sponsorship of Peggy the pig. Pretty awesome day!
