Vinods Wedding Sunday 18th Nov


The wedding day, all wake up early except Akaash who was having a sound sleep although every was buseee . The grooms car came by about 6.30- 6.45 it was white Lancer, the car came early for putting the decorations i.e grooms & brides names and flowers on the front and side doors, that was assigned to Vinods friend so i was calling him, but no response bcoz of yesterdays booze, but after some time another friend came and took the flowers and letters and started the work and in between the friend who was assigned the work also came in. The scheduled time to leave the grooms home was at about 8.30 but it was about 9 they left we had an extra car for others and 1st trip went relatives and I was waiting for the second trip.

Reached Sreedevi auditorium not much people in the hall bcoz only close relatives come for this starting rituals bcoz it will be for at least 4-5 hrs people will be bored but close relatives have to bear this. Mean while someone informed that breakfast was serving on the adjacent hall so we went there had some Uppuma with some fried snacks.

Marriage rituals was going on as usual but people was thronging seems 1000 plus has been invited so the hall was full of people and some people was standing outside the shades near the hall and some was waiting near the hall adjacent so that they can catch the 1st batch of meals.

I saw old faces means faces older about 10-20 years, they couldnt recognise me the first One was my tuition teacher, her home was near the brides home we had a small chat. the other 2 was sisters who was near our ancestral home, they were talking to me and sis on a mistaken identity and later only she recognised who we are , but the younger sis was very quick and remembered us very fast.

At about 2.30 the groom & bride came out from the hall and took some pics in daylight, the rituals was not over the Swami was announcing that the time for entering home is already passed and told to stop taking pics and move to the car waiting for them, bcoz the Swamy has some more rituals when they were entering the grooms home.

At about 3.30 pm the bride & groom with brides family members came to grooms home and the ritual was kannya dan that is handing over the gurl to the grooms parents and it lasted for about 20-30 minutes after that they untying of Nandii and shaking the Kalash that was kept 10 days before the marriage i.e is the culimination of rituals for the day

After this ritual the brides family members had some cold drinks and snacks and they left the bride and groom but 2-4 members was left back bcoz they will be taking the bride to the brides home and after some time relatives from grooms side will go and call the bride & groom to the grooms home

After the bride & groom left, close friends of groom came in and they were busee making plans to decorate the bedroom for the groom & bride, so went out to buy some flowers i.e jasmine and other flowers and they also put the name of the bride & groom which took from the wedding car and the bed froom was ready in 20 mins after that friends has a get together in between the bride & groom
