AN INDIAN WEDDING

OCTOBER PROGRAMME:
The theme for the October shows on the 9th Saturday and 10th Sunday is ‘Indian Wedding'.
On the 9th Saturday there will be a presentation on all aspects of the Indian wedding – from arranged marriages, caste system, dowry to the elaborate ceremonies and the endless mantras recited by the priest.
On the 10th Sunday, Gary Eck, a famous name in the stand-up comedy circles and his wife Sonia will share their ‘Monsoon wedding’ experiences in Rajasthan, India where they took the marriage vows in a traditional Hindu ceremony.
This will be followed (on both days) by a popular Bollywood movie ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ (English subtitles) starring Aishwarya Rai (Miss World 1994), Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan. The theme of the movie is marriage and coincidentally is set in Rajasthan! This movie has some exquisite dances by Aishwarya.
The show starts at 3.30 p.m. and dinner will be served at 7.30 pm. There will be a traditional welcome, a small gift for all and a lucky door prize. The number of seats is limited – 60 per show – book early to avoid disappointment.
