Mehndi
1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Mexico
Attire: Beach Casual
The Mehndi is usually the kick-off for the wedding festivities where the bride and the female guests have Mehndi (henna) applied to their hands. The mehndi signifies love and affection between the couple and their families. Traditionally it is believed that the darker the mehndi comes out on the bride's hands, the deeper the love will be between the bride and groom. That is why no one will let the bride wash it off and make sure she sleeps with it, the longer she has it on, the darker it gets! There will be drinks and light lunch! Transportation: The shuttle will be picking you up from Garza Blanca Hotel at 12:45pm sharp.
