Wedding.. waiting.... n happily ever afters!!!!!


Fairy tale weddings are abt surprises n a lil magic.. there's sm magic in the air, sprinkle of joy.. glow of love, n anxiety n excitement abt bein together.. after witnessing the Royal wedding, writing abt it was goin to happen.... a commoner bein whole heartedly welcomed in the royal family, the ppl on streets cheerin for her.. the wedding was all abt.. the wedding gown, the jewelery, the cake, the groom's blush while sayin " I do..." the glitter in the bride's eyes, everyone around you are jus wishing for ur happiness and well being..
Marriages unite not only the two individuals but their families as well.... every girl, waits for her dream groom..waits to fall in love.. weaves dream abt her future.. its sm wht her journey.. the dreams turning into reality.. we see a lot many weddings.. be a part of them.. as in attending ur sisters wedding.. ur best frnds wedding.. there's so much goin on around you.. the shoppin.. the last minute details.. the caterers.. the guests.. the make up.. the photo's.. so much.. that you jus cant sink in it all.. you flow along.. I have always noticed this, that there’s smthg abt the bride n groom.. when they stand together, they always seem to fit in.. I mean, its lik made for each other!!!!
I remember the first weddin, first as in from the time that I’ve started understanding wht was goin around me.. I had gone for my grandpa’s frnd’s, son’s wedding.. I was in 2nd std.. wearin my fav dress.. as it was me.. who had insisted on goin for the weddin.. ahh jus another way to roam with grandpa.. mum had said.. don’t leave his hand n run around.. yeah.. I very well remember her sayin it!!!!!! Off course I was a naughty kid.. n cute too, in my sky blue frock.. a charmin young lady as well :)
After reachin the venue.. everyone was a stranger, but obvious.. as it wasn’t my play ground or school.. to knw or recognize ppl around.. yet ppl walked towards me, said hi.. asked which school was I studyin in..??? but my all attention was at the bride n groom.. why are they bein separated by a curtain??? ( well in Indian or to b more precise, in bramin weddings.. the bride n groom are made to exchange garlands, while the priest chants few mantra’s n before exchanging the garlands they are not allowed to see each other n Sooo there’s a curtain held by two priests…)
  yeahh.. so I asked Nana.. (that’s wht I call my grandpa) that even though they are nicely dressed up.. why they aren’t seein each other???? Oh.. my nana jus smiled at me n said.. in 2 mins they’ll see each other.. n then I saw everyone went to greet them.. gave gifts.. Now my question was is it their bday today???? Coz that’s when I got lots of gifts :)… n Nana said.. they ll b livin together naaa.. so they are getting gifts for their new home.. (n yesss after knowin this, I did ask abt all those gifts that my dad n mom had received when they came in our house.. my dad thought a while, but Nana explained) oh.. after me n Nana greetin them.. my Nana had carried a huge box some gift I must say.. we had lunch there.. I still remember Nana talkin to every person that we met that day.. on the dinin table.. in the hall.. comin back home was fun too, coz I too had got a gift.. a teddy from Nana’s best frnd.. he was happy to gift it to me.. sayin.. to my grandpa.. soon we would be witnessin her weddin.. as the time will fly…. Time sure has gone by.. n I too am waitin for my prince charming.. the fairy tale wedding.. and yeah.. the gifts for our new house ;)
