Wedding Bells in Kathmandu

So, I might have last posted in December. It would have been about my recent trip to Nepal, to hike in Langtang region. I mentioned at the end that I fell in love with my mountain guide, Rovin. Well I sure did and it was a whirlwind from that point on. I just got back from another trip to Kathmandu, where we were married on May 8th, 2012. We didn't have a formal ceremony (we will have one on June 23rd) because I'm still in work and don't have time off until school lets out. We just went to the city office and filled out an application, got some photos taken, signed our names a million times, left our thumbprints on a bunch of papers, paid a bunch of money, and waited, and waited, and waited. After about 3 hours, we were married. Below is a link to the album of pictures we took during the week and some I took when I got back. I'll let them tell the story....chapter one anyways.

I'm looking forward to the traditional Nepali wedding in June and to (hopefully- pending Rovin's tourist visa to the US) another party in Maine in July.

Enjoy.

Signing off now....

Jenn Sapkota (my new name is cool, eh?)
