Memorable Wedding

Phew! Finally the most awaited, much talked wedding of Dhivya & Anil is over. Here is a sneak peek of the lavish wedding :

The gorgeous couple got married in “Royal Orchid” on the old airport road. The wedding was in the morning and was followed with a reception in the evening. I decided to attend both (as Dhivya had already threatened me). Thanks to Usha for taking me to the wedding. The place was indeed decked up like a bride. Dhivya (as always) looked stunning in her bridal attire. The green colored saree from Neerus added up charm to her look . She had beautifully chosen her accessories to match with the saree. I was awestruck with one of her neck piece (ruby and emerald). I couldn’t take my eyes off from that. She just looked like a princess. She did not look nervous; she was busy with her usual antics. We had to remind her that it was her wedding day. The only constant question of hers was “Am I looking fat”? We tried to convince her telling that she is not looking fat; she didn’t seem to believe us. She was so restless while waiting for the groom to arrive(he was a little late).

The marriage rituals started immediately. Can you believe the wedding got over in 15 minutes? This is the shortest wedding I’ve attended so far. Even before I could realize what was happening around, they declared the wedding was over. Wow! I simply love “mallu” weddings for this. They exchanged garlands, mangal-sutra/ chains and took blessings from everyone. That’s it!

Then the photo session was held with family and friends. While the photo session was going on, Dhivya wanted to go check on the lunch arrangements. She was not ready to pose for any more pictures. We headed for lunch and we got to explore some typical kerala delicacy. I loved Appam and Stew. There were few other things, I can’t recall the names.

Relishing the food and with all the strict instructions(when to come back) from Dhivya we headed back from Royal Orchid. Dhivya expected me to be there @ 6.30 PM, we reached the venue at 7:30 PM. As we entered the reception hall, we were welcomed by the Bride & Groom. Wow! That was something different. It wasn’t the usual wedding reception where we find the Bride and Groom standing on the stage. The couple looked nice together. Anil was dressed in a Sherwani and Dhivya in a lehanga. I loved everything about Dhivya’s bridal look- from the lehanga, to the jewelry to the hair and makeup! As we entered the hall after wishing the couple, we got to see some real good performances by Russian dancers. Belly dance and some Bollywood numbers kept the guests glued to their seats. Chit-chatting with all the friends I sat and watched some performances. The Bride & Groom was called on the stage and were asked some questions from the event organizer(when they met, how was their first meet etc). Then they were asked to dance. That was sweet! They shaked their legs for some bollywood numbers (munni badnam hui).

Oh my god! I forgot something. As the whole focus was on Dhivya and Anil, I forgot to talk about our little princess “Gazelle”. She wore a salwar kameez in the morning and looked exactly like an angel in the evening. When the anchor asked her to sing a song, she went up to the stage and sang a rhyme (twinkle twinkle). That was really sweet!

There were lot of guests in the evening, Anil and Dhivya posed for the pictures with all of them. It was a nice forum to meet up with some old-new friends. After catching up with all of them, it was time for dinner. The food was very delicious and was served outside in the lawns. My heart said to stay back and watch the lovely couple for some more time but my mind said to get back home early. Thanks to Sharu for dropping me home.

All in all the wedding was the best wedding of the year.

Divs and Anil:

Wish you both a happy married life. You both looked lovely together. God bless you with all the joy and happiness in the world.
