52: Hyderabad, India (Indian Wedding + Much More)

Having the chance to go back to Hyderabad, India for a wedding of
our two friends, Preetham and Spandana, was an unforgettable
experience. Not only did we have the opportunity to partake in
the many ceremonies of the marriage including Sangeeth, Haldi,
Groom’s Day, Bride’s Day, Mehndi, and the huge wedding event, we
also visited Hitec City, Nalgonda, and Gandipet. The incredible
visit included a trip out delivering invitations on a motorbike,
dancing choreographed steps to Indian music, and making a trip
for Toddy palm wine. The people were all incredibly kind from the
families to our amazing hosts. We stayed with four different
families, met kids on the streets playing cricket, and enjoyed
late nights understanding the culture. This India trip will not
be forgotten, and we hope you enjoy us telling our unique story
of discovering more reasons why we love to travel so much in this
episode of Passport Joy Travel Talk.
