The
Wedding Day Experience
The
wedding day experience was fantastic and even hilarious. The
wedding stage was put up in the middle of the waters. In North
Indian weddings, the groom usually arrives in a horse, a concept
that never appealed to AD. So he reached the wedding venue by
boat.
The
best part was that the Panditji who was supposed to perform the
wedding never turned up. The mahurat time was passing by and
Panditji couldn’t be found. The organizing team went running in
all directions to look for a Hindu Pandit.
Finally they found a person wearing a dhoti who clarified
that he was a Hindu Pandit. When he started chanting the shlokas
we realized they were in Tamil, and he was a Tamilian. So two
North Indians ended up having a South Indian wedding ceremony. But
this whole episode was fun since it had an element of spontaneity
that is in our nature.
