What an experience.
I was pleasantly surprised with the reception I received at the party, and how warm and welcoming everybody was. Kerissa and her family were very accommodating, and as the evening progressed, there were more and more ladies becoming aware of my mehndi table.
The setting up didn't take too long, and within 5 minutes I had my table up and running.

| And the excitement only increased from here. |
 |
| I marvelled at the hall decorations; everything was done beautifully. |
 |
| These young ones were among the first to line up to get their mehndi done. They just loved it! (Our youngest one kept shying away from the camera. How cute!) |
 |
| The young one on the far left (6 years old) says, "My little brother wanted to get his mehndi done but he wasn't allowed to, so he smudged mine." |
There was music, wonderful food, amazing and enthusiastic company, and the good vibes one feels in the air before the wedding. My only regret is that I wish I had taken more photos! It's absorbing to get caught up with interacting with all the people, but that's more important...don't you agree?

| This was the design I did for Kerissa two days before the party. |
All in all, I was pleased with how everything turned out. I certainly learnt a lot from this event! I'm keen to see some photos of the stain; if you've taken pics of how your mehndi darkened, please post them up on my Facebook group and let me know whether your experience was a pleasant one!
