So my cousins wedding's coming up next Saturday, which I am sooo excited for!! Especially after today, It's got me into the wedding mood :) This is like the first close family wedding we've had, it's my first cousin Anneka getting married.
Today was like a religious event called the 'Chunari' it's where the groom side gives the bride gifts and dresses a 'Chunari' on her which is like a sari really. Everyone looked amazing, I love that we can look like walking fluorescent lights on weddings :D The bride to be looked absolutley beautiful!
The ceremony started of with both sides of the family greeting each other, we welcomed the grooms side in at the doorway, before we went into the hall. There was a beautiful Mandip set up, with seats at the front. The priest did his part and completed some ritual, before the bride to be made her entrance. The music was playing in the background, and I think her entry song was 'Hum Tum, from the film Hum Tum'
Anneka went on stage with her sister supporting her, then the groom Sanjay joined. Sanjay's family presented gifts to Anneka, and wrapped a 'Chunari' around her. It was fascinating to watch!
We all went up on the Mandip to greet them, and congratulate them :) And took lots of photos, which I have none of lol. But my cousins sending me them all tonight, so I will post them up!!
She's already sent me this one, which is of my cousin Reshma, Anneka and myself.
