These young girls from Bakhtapur, Nepal are about to get married.
But don't you worry it isn't a real marriage they are getting into.
It's more like a trial marriage. Girls have two of these trial marriages before they are really getting married at a mature age.
The girls are being dressed up in the most exuberant clothes and in these clothes they are parading through town.
Ohhh and that plant that they are holding, that's there trial husband!

The story is great! Interesting culture. As a man, I'd like a trial marriage! But the capture is AMAZING! Colors, DOF, and composition, AMAZING!
