I think many wonder why "Siriam" my nephew was our "Maid of Honor" is a good and very long story.
As we all know my sister is home with "Siriam" A Spanish immigrant Hindu, who is a cousin of "Mahamed" my husband who is a son of Hindu immigrants.
As both Siriam Parent Kolam and my husband come from a region in southern India and in this part of the world they believe that for the marriage the "Maid of Honor" should be a girl under 12 who is familiar with the Bride and if there is a child in the family with these requirements, then this role should be a child, but can never be a person outside the family.
Well, the only person in my household's family who is under 12 years is "Siriam" the son of my sister Silvia and her husband. "Siriam" thus consented to the be my maid of honor.
For my sister and me this was something very strange, but the parents of my brother and my husband said that if it was not Siriam the "Bridesmaid" then our matromonio marriage could not have God's blessing and misfortune might fall on us, So gladly we accepted him.
Everyone was terrified that a boy was dressed as a bridesmaid, it was very strange and even ridiculous, on several occasions I almost burst out laughing and poor Siriam should feel very humbled to wear these outfits. We forgot depiliate his legs as they were too hairy to be of a lady, lol
David (the boy in the photo) was the pajesito Ring Bearer?, the son of a cousin of mine, the poor boy was confused with Siriam not knowing whether to treat Siriam as a girl or boy, I think we felt all the same. They made nice couple, haha.
The attached picture shows The couple, my brother, David and Siriam.
Although David is smaller than Siriam, I suspect he could be older than him and that is why he's not acting as Maid of Honor, or, he was asked to be the Ring Bearer before they thought of asking Siriam.
