Henna for Myra

Last month I had the honor to do bridal henna for a very important person in my life. Myra is like my niece. I know her for many years and she used to apply mehndi on my hands on eid.

She used to do beautiful designs on my hands just for fun and because my hands were empty on eid. Over the years we became very close and specially on the gatherings at her home because she would chat with me all the time in English. 

I can say the love for henna started there on those eids. Never did I think that one day I would be applying henna for her for her wedding. 

So one night i received a message from Myra asking if we could talk on the phone. I said yea! Right now! So she called me and asked me to do her henna. 

I was emotional and accepted the request. It is my honor! 

The day arrived and Myra came to my home to get henna. I made her favorite dish “ empanadas” and invited her before starting the henna. 

I had a great time doing her mehndi. It was special we chat over the whole process and that I think made it slow🙂⏰ was it 5 or was it 6 hours.  It does not really matter. The thing is that was my first time also being part and close to the person I was doing henna. 

On the day of the wedding Myra was stunning. She is beautiful without makeup but with the makeover she was gorgeous. Her dresses were amazing.looking to Myra and her now  husband made me think that that match was made in heaven. They were looking great together. Now photos !📷
