It looks to be a Hindu wedding tradition called Mangala Snanam, which involves covering the pride and groom in turmeric (you can see the spice powder all over their faces and arms) and giving them a holy bath. Just like in other traditions, like Western baptisms and Buddhist ablution baths, the water is meant to purify :)

In older times, Indian wedding were about a week long and the Haldi ceremony was done on one of the days. The idea behind this ritual is that the turmeric is supposed to help make your skin glow, so the bride n groom are radiant on their wedding day. This was of course, before we had salons selling us expensive wedding grooming packages! Plus, turmeric is believed to have spiritually purifying properties, so we have the haldi ceremony.

The water washes away the bad luck so they start their lives together with good luck. Like Asian new year. I love that their hands are clinging together and they have the same expression.

Apparently it can only be that brand of water also. Or else they are not purified by bottled water standards..

Actually, I see in my brain, the water on them being separate but when it is on the ground you can no longer separate the whole because it is now one.

Such a forlorn look on the little girl's face. "Oh no, it's Wilbur!"

Beautiful focus on the bride's profile and the girl almost looking like it's her profile, heads both bowed.
