They were here for only two hours ... so between trying to dodge their
discomforts I doubt if I got in 1 hour henna time. They were
difficult to work with, very demanding, and weren't about to part with
a penny for the work.

They'd asked me to drive an hour to their house and do it for free,
and I'd said no ... for free they had to come here. But, if I'd known
this was for a betrothal, I think I would have gone, even sans camera,
just to sit and learn what I could.

When I've done wedding henna for South Asian and Middle Eastern Women,
I've always worked for a pittance or free, and worked harder than
ever. One clients husband simply refused to put up the money for
henna, so she paid a little out of her own pocket.

I figure I'm in that situation to learn. I can make money other
places.
