● On the day of the wedding, the marriage palace was decorated like a bride. My cousin also looked beautiful in her sequin spangled lehanga.
● The baraat came at 5 p.m.
● High tea was served in which there were lots of cakes and snacks.
● Then there was the jai mala in which the bride and groom exchanged fresh flower garlands.
● Then we all danced and enjoyed to the beat of music.
● After the sumptuous dinner all the guests departed and only the close family was left.
● Then the priest set up a small fire and the remaining ceremony took place around the fire.
● The doli took place early morning.
● It was a very tearful moment for all of us but we were all happy from deep inside as my cousin was beginning her new life.
● Such celebrations are very common in my country.
