It was, as I told, it was, uh, in my older parents village. So it was in a city town there, but it was not quite developed area. But, uh, what important was, uh, bonding and our enjoyment. I are exc. Our excitement towards that ceremony rather than just the infrastructure in in whichd went for Sal. Uh, as I told, we danced a lot, we enjoyed a lot. We even took, took our goom on our shoulders and we just roamed around in the hole, all of the wedding hall and we just, ah, mingled around with our other cousins and other relatives.

It was my elder cousin's wedding ceremony, where we traveled from our hometown to our ancestral village, the place where my parents were born. We had a wonderful time. We practiced dance routines before the wedding. On the wedding day, we showcased our talents and even outdid the bridal side in the dance competition. It was so much fun! The wedding took place in my grandparents' village, a small town that wasn't very developed. But what mattered most was the bonding and the joy we shared. Our excitement for the ceremony was more important than the infrastructure. As I mentioned, we danced a lot and had a great time. We even carried the groom on our shoulders and roamed around the entire wedding hall, mingling with our cousins and relatives. It was an unforgettable event. I loved it because such occasions are rare, where you get to enjoy yourself so much, travel from one city to another, spend a couple of weeks practicing dance, get ready for the wedding, and then celebrate with your cousins, creating golden memories.
