The dates are 01st & 03rd of March '21 and we would like you to be a part of our big day.
I first saw Sanjana in the bus to my college on the very 1st day of our undergrad! A sweet little girl with a cute smile. That time it didn't come to my mind that she could be in the same college as I was because I was mistaken by her appearance that she was hardly in 8th standard! But she proved me wrong once the bus reached the college. I was even more surprised to see her in the same department as I was. Since the very 1st day she earned the title of 'Sweet Girl' from everyone. We used to catch the same bus to and from our college and for next few months it was nothing but occassional small-talks and that's how we became friends. After few months when both of us became little bit comfortable with each others company, we started helping each other with studies and that's how we started spending more time with each other however that was mostly via text sms. As usual we were hit by cupid's arrow without knowing and started enjoying each others company. After a good few months I finally plucked up the courage to tell her 'I am falling in love with you!' and her reaction was 'Are you serious?' and the rest is history ;)
Mehndi, 10AM - 2PM
It's one of the oldest traditional Indian pre wedding ceremony where a professional mehndi artist applies mehndi to the bride's hands and feet. This will be having a celebratory festival feel to it with people wearing vibrant clothes and singing, playing games and having fun.
Haldi, 9AM - 10AM
The haldi ceremony is usually held separately for the bride and the groom. It is a low-key event that involves the application of turmeric paste on the hands, legs and face of the groom first and then the same turmeric paste gets applied on bride. The groom is not allowed to see the bride after this ritual until the final wedding ceremony starts.
Wedding, 7PM-11PM
This is the main event in the entire wedding when the bride and the groom tie the knot. The groom comes with the barat and is greeted by the bride side and maximum number of guests would be attending this event. This is when the couple circle the sacred fire and the groom puts sindoor (vermilion) on the bride's forehead and they are finally declared husband and wife.
Bidaai, 1PM-2PM
It is a ritual of bride bidding farewell to her family and leaving of her maternal home. Literally translating to the phrase 'Goodbye', Bidaai is one of the most sentimental outburst of any wedding across the globe. This bengali ceremony marks the beginning of her new role as a wife and daughter-in-law.
Bodhu Boron, 6PM - 8PM
This ceremony is performed to welcome the bride to the groom's home. The bride puts her feet on a plate of milk & alta (a traditional cosmetic used to color feet). Then having imprinted the soles of her feet, she is taken into the house. The elders of the house bless the newly weds and the couple plays some traditional fun games.
Bou Bhat (Reception), 7PM-11PM
This is a post-wedding ritual held usually one or two days after a Bengali wedding. In this ceremony a party is hosted by the groom's family, where the both bride's and groom's family members and friends are invited.
