Moments: Bride-to-be

Bride-to-be
Deepika Bhatt, far right, applies henna to bride-to-be Siobhan Pandy two days before her wedding at her fiance's parents' house in Cary, North Carolina. (Left to right, clockwise: Ria Shah, 5, a friend of the family from New Jersey; Khushali Dalal, 8, daughter of a family friend from Ohio; Vijay Kansupada, a family friend from Georgia; Hima Daal, the groom's cousin from South Carolina, and Shruthi Shah, Ria's mother, and a friend of the family from New Jersey.) "Mehndi" is when the bride at a Hindu wedding has henna, a brown herbal paste that stains the skin, drawn on her hands and feet.
