My Wedding Experience

I cant surely put a mesmerizing wedding experience in a singular blog for it would be an injustice to the truly wonderful experience of a lifetime. I can however give a precise note of the feelings I felt when I wintessed the entire ceremony all like a king. Yes I say king because for the entire ceremony you discover yourself as a blessed man. Everyone there is busy in wedding preparations & everyone is enjoyingthe moments for you. & yes ofourse everything out there is done for you. I felt this ceremony gifted me a surprise package when I realized the worthiness of it. You see happy faces in & around every corner & more importantly your own face glitters with more charm. I really can't shape my feelings in words here. It was a full one week wedding ceremony with all the rasams performed most of them by my mother. She did all the pujas to keep the family god (or devta) happy. The haldi rasm was particularly my favourite one & I enjoyed every single moment of it. It was nice body massage & I was waiting eagerly for it. The turmeric had auyervedic powers & I was thrilled at the prospect of playing holi with turmeric. It was real fun with the family members. The barat was a real awesome procession in the wedding ceremony. The entire crowd - known & unknown all dancing like mad at whatever disco notes played out there. You are seated in majestically decorated car with flowers of varied types. & being dressed in your favourite wedding dress surely gives you the feeling of being at the top of the world. Then the garland exchange ceremony & the countless photogrpahers & cameras/mobile phones with cameras keeps your mind awestruck. Beleive me we both had the same feeling -for that day we were like celebrity - & every single person out there - elder or a kid, big or small, relative or neighbour, all wanted to have snap captured with us - the couple. It kept my mind wondering - was it a wedding?? or a dream ? or a stardom show for the night. Whatever it may be, surely that was the moment of experience for a lifetime. In our custom, the wedding continues for the whole night. I was wondering if I could manage to keep my eyes wide open all the night, but it was not a tough task, for I did not feel any need of it. All through the wedding, I was keeping reminding myself - that this is the moment of the life time when I am taking this wedding oath. I was read all the promises I need to take as husband. Again the saat phere, which the pundit wanted to finish it of in only 3 feras. Everyone revolted & we took sufficient time to completethe mandatory saat feras. Afterall wedding happnes only once in a lifetime. The morning came with some tears in the eyes of my bride, for she realized, she was now a guest in her parents home. I was speechless & I had unexpressive emotions to share. All relatives gifted valuable items - jewellry, cash/gifts & love & kind blessings to both of us. We were moved.
We came back to my hometown in afternoon where there was another set of rasams to be performed. I won the ring games played between the bride & groom. There were many other funfilled activities or sort of games & I ensured that I became the overall winner. She did Ofcourse won many others. The day passed long before it was complete 24 hour schedule. The wedding moments have been captured in memories in mind & in the memories of Cameras. The wedding pics are ready & I can't again give a proper description of the thrill seeing the wedding pics. This blog is getting longer & I know it should be. There are many other notes I wish to share, but then I comprehend the reading barometer. So I end this blog here; & I have another beautiful experience to share - our visit to Kashmir on honeymoon trip. Its truly a heaven on earth & I have my experience to justify it.
Cheers
