Journey to marriage


The Band Wala's to the Mehendi artists to the sumptuous food menu discussions, till the knot is tied the atmosphere in the whole house is so charged that you cannot help but get swept off in its torrent. Specially when the person getting married is very close to you.. Its not about how much you spend on the marriage, its just how much effort and resources you put in to make the best out of what you can..


The marriage I'm talking off is still three months away but almost every holiday turns out to be a shopping experience for us.. To the jokes and anecdotes and yes the teasing of the Bridegroom.. It's like all the family members had saved all of their energies for that one special day.. The formalities seem fun and the occasional problems more challenging, the discussion on what exactly every member should wear on that special day makes one feel like we had neva been to any other party and gotta impress all in this particular function only.. lol..


Jokes apart this journey also allows you to interact with the new addition to your family and to try and accept that person and also mould them according to your family values. Its literally marriage of two families rather than two individuals..


I'm yet to experience the actual sensation of the marriage where all our preparations will be tested but as of now I'm thoroughly enjoying the journey to that celebrated destination called marriage..


till then tc and god bless...........
