My Broz Wedding-Phase 2

“You don't marry someone you can live with, you marry the person who you cannot live without.” Thats what marriage is all about and in an Indian family marriage has various components - huge family gatherings/relatives all pouring in before 15days, loads of sweets, screaming /shouting/dancing etc etc....The scene in Leobond's house was no different. The most important thing that I felt was for the first time in life my Mum had no time for me..heehheee but that was very natural and also she was the busiest person who had no idea what she was eating and drinking. TILAK in north India is a small ritual wherein both the family along with loads of friends meet to hook and book the guy for marriage ;)....In short bakra halal hone se pehle ki taiyari...First time in his life, my bro felt a little nervous and I could see that in his eyes. He was realizing that soon he will no longer be SINGLE but will enter a different phase in life and will have a better half who will be there with her all through & this is what we believe...The party went off well and by the way I missed something very important...My dear Tutu & Aunty came to Allahabad after good long years & I was happy to see her around..As usual the gals were looking stunning...hehehe...and after the party we reaced home too late and too tired but still we had to sing and dance :(:(....Suddenly at 2oclock at night I felt as if my heart was sinking which resulted in food posioning!!! Too pathetic situation as next day was Ladies Sangeet and all the arrangements had to be done...All plans came to stand still and I felt too bad...After two drips I started feeling better in the evening and all set for Ladies Sangeet. On the eve of Sangeet, all arrangements were done and the time for fun and frolic. The floor was on fire with everyone dancing to the tunes of film/folk songs making me realize that -'THIS HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA'...heheee....The mehendiwala was there till 5 a.m and we all were struggling with sleep so that he could draw nice designs on our hands....Finally it was morning and the day for WEDDING....Everyone is busy with work but two very imporant things which I would like to mention - the difference in scenarios at the groom/brides homes. At one hand where everyone was busy plus happy in the grooms house, the scenario in the bride's house is equally opposite and it has to be... It the day when a girl leaves the house where she learns to walk/talk/read...Every single thing in her room starts pinching her coz she has to spend the rest of her life with someone who will in future be her life....Mum says its a natural phenomenon and we cant avoid, the Leobond agrees to it but the very thought that how different the scenarios are makes me too emotional....Anywaz the WEDDING will be described in next post....To be contd.....
