The Marriage day


The sister of the bride carries the pot like thing on her head when the groom comes to welcome him. Before the groom comes there is some welcoming among the families where the sister of the bride feeds the groom sweets and tries to pinch his nose to tease him. This is to show the teasing he will recieve from her throughout his marriage.
Some of the grooms friends are teasing him by preventing him from seeing his incoming bride through the crowd.

Bride and groom meeting for the first time in several days to put flowers on each other and do some welcoming with the family.

here comes the bride carried by her family to the wedding tent.

I got a hearty laugh when i read your post...the way you have described the rituals n all...its actually bit different but i suppose someone has tried to explain you in most simplest way he could..! lol...
specially "the pot like thing" "going around in circles several times" etc....lol...
Keep having fun!!! Cia Tc.

haha! Yeah Rushabh I am sure that they tried to explain the best they could, and in return I try too, but some are just by observation also soo that might be why they are up for editing. lol Yeah for misunderstandings!
