This was a very long and busy day for everybody.
Woke up at 6am at bhauu's house because that's what they'd told us to do, since we'd be preparing for the wedding and all, but nothing started until 8.30 so what a total waste of everybody's time and sleep. Then we spent an hour getting the wedding mandap up, another hour decorating it, and another 30 minutes just getting other minor decorations done. It was all done in the last moment, but so fantastic, it was exciting for everybody involved.
We drove back home with Ad where a few hours were spent getting ready and doing the rituals required for the trip to bhauju's house. I was the photographer as always, with my dingy clothes and unshaven face and the 'avoiding being seen' attitude. We didn't put the flowers on the wedding car because they might get swept away by the wind so the idea was to put it on right near the bride's house.
Finally after what we thought was objectionably late we left the groom's house for the bride's stopping like fifty metres away, putting on flowers and all, and walking from there to bhauju's house, dancing and celebrating. Took the janti's picture, and the bride's party joint the dance too since we were a small team. Then the photo-taking began and I took hundreds of extremely good looking photos, the photographer taught me how to take better ones and trigger the large flashes from my camera.
After the photo-taking we went for the actual rituals for the wedding, the most boring part of the wedding. This time around I took some photos, hung out with the parents and their kids, and just chilled. Didn't really take a whole lot of photos or videos except during the interesting rituals such as 'walking around the fire' or 'pulling that cloth and winning or losing'. Great videos and pics that I shared with everybody, highly appreciated.
The lunch/dinner meal was very fatty, had trouble eating but pretty appreciated.
In the evening we all came back home, except sm hit the car in the fire-hydrant and caused a long dent on the sides, it was very nice of the next door neighbor to inform us.
The family chilled and talked until late at night, bhauju P and I were talking until wee hours of the morning until when I talked a bit too loud at ad came out and shouted at us to go to bed, and that was the wedding day!
