Nicole and Sanjay's Mehendi Ceremony (Henna)  

Posted in

Today I got to work with Callie covering Nicole's mehendi ceremony. I got to meet an incredible Henna artist, Maya Anjum.

She has a website dedicated to her henna art (http://www.auspiciousart.com) and another for her services as a makeup artist (http://www.mayamua.com/). She was even kind enough to give me a tatoo with my quasi-famous "Nerd Husband" icon!


Unfortunately, I bumped it as I was leaving, so I wiped the paste off before it really set, but it still shows up pretty well!

Every design she did was done by hand, and super fast. It was amazing to watch such an artist at work.

Anyway, I just wanted to share some images from today. Nicole and Sanjay are amazingly gracious hosts, and made us feel right at home!
Tomorrow is their Hindu ceremony (which I will be assisting Callie with) and Saturday is their Catholic ceremony.

Congrats Nicole and Sanjay!
