The Day Before the wedding

18th Jan 2013

Ganesh Sthapna Mandva Mahurat & Griha Shanti Pithi


Arti’s smiles were tinted with turmeric glee. Was it her blushing or her mother’s joy, that made her rose garland look more red? Her loved ones put their blessings in petals, and showered her with it. Heart in heart, Arti and her mother missed her father. His love pulsated through their joy. With the undying memory of her father glowing in her mind, Arti sought the blessings of the Grihas and mother earth. The beautiful bride, gleamed brighter than her jewels and effortlessly won hearts.














The Wedding Day 19th Jan 2013

Varghodo Jaan the wedding


Dhruval and Arti were wrapped in the red of merriment, white winks of flashlights and the orange embrace of marigold strings. Countless colours heralded a happy flood of loved ones with the Varghodo, dancing with contagious joy to the crisp beats. They were wedded in red of the loving glances and crackling fire. The deep indigo of the Anand evening were spotted with twinkling lights and blessings. The sparkling couple, brimming with happiness, stepped into the rainbow of happily-ever-afters.



















































Vidhai Arti, bid farewell by her parents, siblings, relatives and friends. It was moment as she leaves in a specially decorated car, for her new home. Ghar ni Laxmi/Arti’s first step into her new home shall bring wealth and good fortune to her home. Dhruval’s family welcomed their daughter with arti and tika. Arti, knocked the vessel, filled to the brim with rice, at the entrance of the house, gently with her right foot, spilling some of the rice over. By doing so, she conveyed her full understanding of her duties and responsibilities towards her new home.







Hand in hand, they walked through the crisp winter air at Virsad, peek-a-booing past windows and plantain fields. The ancestral home graced them wholeheartedly. And added their story to the old trunks. It seemed to say - may their love glow as bright as the ray of light cutting through the attic, making everything seem alive. Here, they glanced and smiled - flashes of memory about how they first set eyes on each other at school. From then on their love, like this old home, has only grown more beautiful with age.
