The wedding that I have attended in recent times is my brother’s wedding. Since it’s the next generation that is getting married and it’s after five years of my sister’s marriage, another marriage is happening in my home. We were all excited as well as welcoming the new bride who is going to be my sister-in-law. It actually happened in my hometown and as I mentioned earlier, it was my brother who got married. It was a great time for us to reconcil back with my cousins and my family members after a long time. We were planning for about two to three months prior to inviting the guests, booking the marriage hall, booking the catering services, planning for the events that are about to be conducted before the wedding such as Haldi or Sangit. We were choosing the costumes for that, preparing ourselves before doing the skincare to look better on the event day. These are some prepreparements that we were doing. We also had a really good fun time after so long so that we could connect with each other and we would know much about each other and what really is happening in each and every one of our life. We also get to know about our sister-in-law who is innocent as well as a great human being from heart. On the marriage day, it was really fun because as I mentioned earlier, we conducted Haldi in which songs were played. We used turmeric to cleanse each and every people’s face, mainly the bride and groom. On the Mahindy day, we used to put Mahindy dance for song and celebrate the upcoming occasion. On the wedding day and the day before the wedding, we used to practice certain rituals and my brother got married. So that’s how it actually went and it was always a good memory for me to cherish after so long. Thank you. Thank you.

The wedding that I attended recently was my brother's wedding. Since it's the next generation getting married and it's been five years since my sister's marriage, another wedding is happening in my home. We were all excited to welcome the new bride, who is going to be my sister-in-law. It took place in my hometown, and as I mentioned earlier, it was my brother who got married. It was a great time for us to reconnect with my cousins and family members after a long time. We were planning for about two to three months prior, inviting guests, booking the marriage hall, arranging catering services, and planning events that were to be conducted before the wedding, such as Haldi and Sangeet. We were choosing costumes for those events and preparing ourselves, including skincare, to look our best on the event day. These are some preparations we were doing. We also had a really fun time reconnecting so we could learn more about each other and what was happening in each of our lives. We also got to know our sister-in-law, who is innocent and a great human being at heart. On the wedding day, it was really fun because, as I mentioned earlier, we conducted Haldi, during which songs were played. We used turmeric to cleanse everyone's face, mainly the bride and groom. On the Mehndi day, we had Mehndi dances and celebrated the upcoming occasion. On the wedding day and the day before, we practiced certain rituals, and my brother got married. That's how it went, and it was a wonderful memory for me to cherish after so long. Thank you.
