Marriages are made in heaven. Esp I am found of LOVE-MARRIAGES.
Weddings always excites me esp for the food and then meeting old friends and making new ones.
But this was an important one for me..
Everyone has seen Hollywood blockbuster My Best Friend Wedding starting Julia Roberts.. awwww the Pretty Woman :):)
Let me not deviate from the topic.. This wedding is about my school friend and my bestest friend whom i found after 3yrs after school and since then we have been in constant touch. Sharing our joys, sharing our sorrows, lending shoulders to cry, giving advises, scolding each other and most important ready to do anything for each other.
Now lets be back to main topic I managed to take leave from 19th of Jan so that I can reach Dehradun before 1 day for the marriage. Oh Yes Guy is from Dehradun and the marriage was supposed to be held from the beautiful city of Dehradun.
When I reached to the wedding hotel, I met the most beautiful bride with the full hand mehndi. She was looking brilliant in yellow color Saree. It was amazing to see her after such a loong time.As soon as she met me she started introducing me to all her family members individually and then to her friends who were busy dancing on spicy numbers played by DJ. It was sooo amazing their when we both got down to the party hall. DJ was playing pretty hot cheesy and awesome track, it reminded me the club we went in GOA but their it was only English music. Being an Indian we love Bollywood music munni badnaam hui to sheila ki jawani adding to current new chikni chameli.
After that dinner was served.
Panky made me sit on a place and introduced me to all her friends and relatives. I was showed to my room and slept. oohhhh i felt the cold then.. chilly feeling of chilly waves... It was amazing.
20th Jan
The Wedding Day
I met her in morning she was as usual soo enthusastic sharing and telling everything as if there is no stop for her.
I reached the hall where fucntion was about to take place, Pandit told aunty Baraat has left the place and will reach in time.
Baraat was on time exactly at 8:30.
The folk music was on and people were dancing on the music beats. It was great to see so much cold outside but the joy of Ur friend, brother,sister, son or daughter getting married makes you forget all the feeling. The only feeling you have inside is of happiness.
Mohit (Panky's bro) lifted Kuldeep on his shoulder till the stage. It was so great to look a brother's love for his sister. The happiness and love which cant be explained by any words.
The best part of the weddings are the rituals or the naughtiness in the wedding. As Kuldeep (The Groom) sat on the stage his shoes went missing, its the trend in indian wedding bride's young sister hides the shoes of the groom and then blackmail them for money in return of the shoes.
Poor guy had to sit without shoes in whole wedding ceremony.
Jaimaal is one of the important part of the wedding.
Its the time when bride welcomes groom.
Panky(The Bride) was walked to stage with her cousins and friends. The nervousness was easily visible on her face and walks. But as soon as she saw Kuldeep and he held her hand she felt save. That's the true love and that's what its demanded by each relationship.
After the jaimaal the photo shoot started there were 2 photographers 1 from each side and 2 videographers 1 from each side. They started capturing the moment. Its sooo painful for any person to stand at a place flashes keep coming. The more over keep smiling through out the captures.
It's good to capture the moment but sometimes we have to look for others how will they feel. She was about to faint because of that. Huh hate insane people around.
Then somehow they took a break and went for dinner. It was a traditional Veg cuisine. The best you can have any where. The paneer, aloo, manchurian, garam garam gulab jamun and most imp tikki chats.. sooo yummy...
Then it was time for puja.
And at Shubh Muharat the bride n groom came for phere.
It was my 1st Hindu wedding which I was witnessing from begining till end.
It was amazing to see how the traditions are followed.
Starting with ''Kanayadaan'' which is the handing away of the bride to the groom in return for a promise by the groom that he will cherish her forever. According to Indian culture and beliefs, she has now become the responsibility and property of her husband's household -- her fate is tied up with theirs. From this point onwards, her husband is her priority. The kanyadaan is the first step in married life.
The "Saat Pherey" or Seven Vows -- the seven rounds of the bride and groom around the holy ring of fire. These seven vows indicate the strength of the sacred bond of marriage. With every vow the couple make one promise to each other -- and vow to uphold that promise. At the end of the Saath Pherey they have made seven promises to each other, on the basis of which they start a committed married life.
Whether its Hindu, Muslim or a Christian Wedding the most important thing must be in all the three wedding is there must be heart to heart connection. And promise to be together live looooong.
And promise to Grow Old with you partner, that's when people need each other.
The moment was like whole world has stopped and blessing the bride and groom.
They were lawfully Husband and Wife.
Mr & Mrs Kothari.
And like the Disney Princess Story ends...Now King and Queen Lived happily. :) :)
