And this is the wedding I missed most, while I was in Ireland. That was because, this was the only wedding in which my role as a matchmaker was a success. Now, don’t get me wrong. That is not my profession. (Btw, there is nothing wrong in that profession!!!)
While I was waiting for my visa to join my hubby and didn’t have anything “better” to do, I took this matchmaking as a part-time job and came out with flying colors!!! *claps* *claps* for me!!! See, I am not that bad!! I really can excel in any field I want. After all that was for my (cousin) sister!
I always wondered why every bride looks gorgeous on her wedding day! Even she too…
..and this is the “thali/mangalyasutra” tying ceremony
..and this is ring-exchange..
..and after that hefty ceremony!! (see how relieved both of them are!!!! LOL)
….and now for some fun…..which I missed most….I would have laughed like Kroor Singh, then!!! She couldn’t actually get up on her own, once that heavy garland was on her neck!!! She almost fell from the dias!!
..and look what happened to the groom!!! After 2 hrs of posing for the camera, he almost wanted to throw that away!!! ** kudos.. that is my brother-in-law**
…later both of them swore that the garlands were each more that 5 kg!!! I really don’t know how they managed to keep it on!!!! Cos, on my wedding, I literally threw the garland away, within seconds after it was put on my neck!
Note: sorry for the poor picture quality. I froze the frames from video CD!!! LOL!!!
One Happy Note: I am gonna be an aunt after 6 months!!!
