My brother Gurukiran's wedding was fixed by elders to be held on Aug 7th,2009,Friday.I flew in especially for this and finished the card ordering,shopping,etc along with Mom.The Saree for the bride was shopped at Angadi Silks in Jayanagar and the jewellery in Bhima Jewellers store.Preparations for the celebrations went on smoothly due to God's grace.His destiny,Anushree Banerjee,a Bengali girl from Lucknow was already chosen by God and the wedding was held in the Srinivasa Temple in JP nagar,Bangalore amidst close friends and family.The wedding in the morning was a traditional south Indian one with the bride adorned in a Kanjeevaram Saree with Moggin Jade(flowery braid) and had a typical south Indian look while my brother was in a Long Kurta and a nice Dhoti and Mysore peta.The garlands were made of 3-4 colors,yellow,pink,green and white.The priest conducted the wedding in a nice way and the food after that was Iyengar cuisine,a delicious one with Salt,pickle,2 kosambaris,Beans palya,Papad,Sandige,Pakoda,Puliyogre,Veg.Baath,Raitha,Rice,Kootu,Rasam and curd.A true gastronomic delight.
The reception in the evening was the North Indian way where my brother was wearing a heavy work Lucknowi Sherwani,a grand one to make him look a Maharaja.The bride was looking good in a Lucknow Ghagra,again sequined and heavy worked on.The food was North Indian but served on the Banana Leaf and the cuisine had Malai Sandwich,Badusha,Kosambaris,Butter Naans,Paneer butter masala,Channa masala,Veg.Pulao,Raitha,Rice,Rasam,curd,Icecream,Beeda,
etc and the grand feast was at Samskruthi Hall in Jayanagar 5th Block.The hall had a nice ambience and soft,light instrumental music was on throughout.The chandeliers and the lighting at the hall were a highlight indeed.
Finally,after the wedding the couple set of to the Nilgiris at Ooty and we are resting at home after the hustle-bustle and running around.
We wish that the new couple live happily with love,understanding,trust and go ahead with responsibilities.Good Luck bro!!!
