We bought a number of things as per list he had prepared. It was late in the evening when we arrived home with a cartload of things. I was very tired. So I took the permission of my uncle and went to bedI got up early next morning and lent my uncle a helping hand. By nightfall it was felt that the preparations were all complete. Next day was the wedding day. The marriage party was to arrive at four in the afternoon. The reception of the marriage party was scheduled at 8 P.M.
It was a day of hectic activity. A big canopy was set up for the reception of the marriage-party. It was tastefully decorated with paper buntings. A big-gate was got ready. Special arrangements were made for dinner in the adjoining shamina. Confectioners set to work preparing nice dishes to be served to the marriage party. The front of the house was beautifully fitted with electric bulbs. Everyone was busy. No one even thought of taking his meals.
At last it was evening. The whole house presented a bridal look. There were lights everywhere. My cousin put on her bridal dress. Her friends adorned her as much as they could. She looked like a fairy in her new dress.
Now the guests started pouring in. They were served with light refreshment. All now eagerly awaited the arrival of the marriage party. Soon there was heard the sound of the band at a distance. All got ready.At last the marriage party arrived. The band played a sweet tune. The members of the marriage party were garlanded. The bridegroom was on a white decorated mare. He was made to get off the horse just at the gate. My aunt performed the Aarti. My cousin dressed in the scarlet clothes garlanded her would-be husband. The cameras clicked .and. many photographs were taken.
The marriage party was served with a grand dinner. Most of the guests present at the time of the reception took leave of my uncle and went away. After the dinner most of the members of the marriage party did not stay for die night. Only the near relations of the bridegroom stayed behind to sit through the marriage ceremony.
The ceremony was performed at night before the sacred fire with the chanting of the Vedic Mantras. In the morning the marriage party left for their home town with the bride. My uncle gave a rich dowry. Partings are always sad. On this occasion there were tears in the eyes of everyone. But they were all happy that everything had gone on well at the time of bidding farewell.
A descriptive writing about a Wedding Ceremony
Last month my cousin got married. He came all the way from Germany to marry his beautiful bride. The wedding took place at our Ancestral home in Kolkata. All Bengali rituals were followed. I enjoyed immensely.
On the day of the wedding we woke up at the wee hours of the morning. As per the rituals we went to the Ganges to collect water. After that our groom to be took his wedding shower after being thoroughly smeared with turmeric paste. It was fun. It seemed Holi had come its way.
Since he was fasting we provoked him with all the delicious dishes we gulped in front of him. In the evening all dressed and ready we went to the Bride’s place. We were given a grand welcome. My cousin was straight away taken to the canopy where the ceremony was to take place. It was a long process. Lots of hymns were chanted, marriage vows taken, the bride and groom had to circle the holy fire seven times. There were lots of activities. Not a minute was dull or boring.
We had a regal dinner. After that we played games with the bride and groom the whole night. Early morning the bride tearfully bade farewell to her parents and set sail with us to her new house. Thus ended the wedding ceremony-a perfect Indian monsoon wedding.
