We were invited to a Tibetan wedding of our Tibetan language teacher. The katas, blessing scarves, you see are a tradition. Summer did not know that girls give them to the bride and that men give them to the groom and she gave hers to the groom. Oops. The weird thing about this wedding is that there was no ceremony announcing the two have been joined in marriage. We think this is because to them marriage is not ordained by God. It is something you do for dowry, property, security, etc. Sophia enjoyed wearing the Tibetan dress, a chuba, because she said she was a Tibetan princess.
