megan & adam

i met megan & adam a few months ago at a birthday party for my friend John. she’s a TCK from Bangladesh. he’s a seminary student at DTS. and these beautiful glass bangles were his engagement gift to her.

these bangles carry a ton of meaning in Megan’s culture – red is the traditional wedding color & glass is a symbol of fragility. the tradition goes that when the last of the bangles breaks, the honeymoon is over.

slightly different executions of the same idea.

i love this one…

…but not as much as i love this one.
