It hurled me straight down le_memory_lane as my eyes scanned the intricate florals on the Queen-bride's stunning dress or "Kira" as known in dzongkha, the native tongue of Bhutan. Kira is a full length dress worn by the women of Bhutan along with silk blouses of spectacular color and sheen. A small himalayan country famously known as the "last Shangrila", also happens to be yours truly's hometown.
The men's outfit, "gho", is a robe-kilt-kimono, if you may. And yes the men, not the women show off their legs, unless... you are the King on your wedding day; those boots, sheeshalaboombala! i m getting one made!
Congratulations to the spectaular Ashi Jetsun Pema and Druk Gyalpo Khesar Namgay Wangchuk!
