My daughter just got married in June, so I'm attuned to everything wedding related. I absolutely loved this story in The New York Times travel section about wedding shopping in Old and New Delhi. Just like Sheila Marekar, the author of this story, during our India travels we take a bicycle rickshaw through the narrow streets of Old Delhi, holding on for dear life but never doubting the incredible skill of the bicycle wallah. One difference...We just don't get off and bargain for invitations and saris! But as the colors and fabrics sweep by, we get a taste of a cultural experience far from our own.
