Meerim's toi
Sunday, August 21st, 2011 at 10:15 pm by bekzhanI was at Meerim's toi yesterday: Talgat invited me (Talgat came from Almaty with two suitcases of presents). The toikana is on the river, 400 guests, a hundred tables, a tamada who could make a stone laugh. The sep was shown, the kuda was done, the groom looked as if he had been carried there in a box.
outside the toikana, by the river, before the guests came. After that I only saw plov.
Meerim wore red and white and cried in the first minute. Her friend Aika sat next to her all evening and did not stop crying either. I ate three plates of plov. The plov was stirred properly, Chu rice, the way it should be, and I forgave the music.
