Lakshmi got married to Rajesh at a colourful ceremony in our backyard - the Lulu Convention Center. In fact, we're the first to be invited as the former's parents had kicked off the inviting process after a 'darshan' at the Guruvayur temple, about two months back.
I shall remember the wedding for many reasons and I'm gonna list them below:-
(a) The couple looked made for each other. He's working for a multi-national company at
Bangalore, while she will now migrate there having resigned from her current job at Pune.
(b) The venue was spacious with the latest of arrangements and catering to a guest list of over
3,000 and the parking area for vehicles was adequate.
(c) The spread for the lunch was fairly large that, I concentrated on what had been served already
and did not bid for anything else! And, for starters, was baffled as to from which end of the
banana leaf that I must begin the onslaught!!
banana leaf that I must begin the onslaught!!
(d) The cuisine catered for both, the Malayalees and the generous sprinkling of Tamilians that
made up the guest list.
(e) Since the bride's father, an ex-chartered accountant and a businessman, owned several
educational institutions including professional colleges, there were numerous guests who're
carrying gifts that they wanted to handover and then, pose for photographs - reminded me of
Don Corleone's daughter, Connie's wedding in the movie, 'The Godfather'! Wonder why?
(f) The array of photographers were 'mafia' like who decided as to who'd be clicked and who
wouldn't. Luckily, they didn't come in between the audience and the activities that were taking
place on the stage. Why did the families abdicate this responsibility of their's?
(g) Met a lot of people whom I was seeing after a long, long time and many more were
introduced to us.
Here's us wishing you, Lakshmi and Rajesh, a long and happy married life!
Tailpiece.
Thanks, Geetha and Gopan for having us in an important event of your lives!
