Another nalungu.. the same ceremony again. I performed the rites and got another tray ;)
This time, apps got to act as a macha and bring thambhi to his seat for the ceremony. On both the previous occasions, he was held up somewhere doing some errands. This time, he said he wanted his role and wanted to see the ceremony too :)
We even did a 'kummi' (singing song while dancing and clapping hands .. moving around the person seated in the middle) with thambhi sitting in the middle.After that, it was free and easy. We had many relatives at home.. all mingling with each other. MIL and aunty Kala cooked dinner for all.. vegetarian dishes to support thambhi who is supposed to be vegetarian till his wedding day :P
In the mean time, appa, amma, lil’ President and I left to thambhi’s in-laws house for SIL’s nalungu… reciprocating thambhi’s FIL’s visit for thambhi’s 2nd nalungu. After performing the rites for SIL, we left. We had guests at home and tomorrow is the big day. We had lots of things to do!

Oh my, I didn't know there's so many different ceremonies in an Indian wedding.. and we thought ours had a lot..
For my wedding, I only had a Chinese ceremonies (which include receiving the bride into the groom's house), a church wedding, and then a wedding dinner.. :P
starry nights,
Yeap.. that's why we even stayed over at my parents place (eventhough our house was near) to get into the wedding excitement ;)
chitra,
Ooo, I even had one during my 'vale kaapu' and it made the ceremony a very memorable one :P
My pleasure dear :)
I wish I could too..

Ooo, Indians have lots of ceremonies.. starting from before the wedding day till few days after :)
