My engagement Day

The ‘muhurtham’ was said to be at 10.30AM and I was all ready by 8AMAnd the worst thing was I was not supposed to go downstairs. The time was ticking away and still the groom and party was not there still….finally at 12PM we received a call from his uncle saying that they have reached near our home .And then a sudden restlessness took over the people in my home, and every one were starting towards the gate and main door. After the long wait they arrived , and still I was waiting in my room for someone to call me. My mom’s sister and two of my friends were giving me company and we were talking and laughing out..Once in two minutes someone will come from down stairs and shoo us into silence Finally the wait got over and I was asked to go down.That time I was a little nervous because entire eyes were on me, that time I made sure in mind that never will I eagerly wait for the bride to enter the hall and gaze at her when I go for other marriages.All the other functions like prayer and exchange of horoscopes were over so what was remaining was Ring Exchange. I was all the more tensed thinking about my saree….I was never comfortable in wearing one so I opted always something other than saree for functions.(Which I really regret now, I think by 20 or so girls should do some practice wearing saree;)) . I was nervous thinking what will I do if my saree comes out when I sit down on the mandap!!!!Luckily nothing happened when I sat down…so far cool and well. Then he put the ring on my finger and I was given ring to put on his. When I was about to put it, he showed me his hand with the ring finger folded. I was so smart that I thought the ring was tight for his ring finger so he needs me to put it on his middle finger. And so seriously I was going to put it, and all the hands from around were coming to hold my hand and stop me from doing that…..I looked at them in surprise (What??!!! Finally they don’t want me to put ring on his??!!) Then he said me “If you wanna put ring, unfold my ring finger and do it.”Ha!! It was then I understood he was playing pranks….everyone on hearing this bursted out laughing and you know? that is the pic which everyone loves the most, because all look very happy and excited in the photo...
