I just can't believe what's happening in my life. Right now, I'm being led to the wedding chamber by my mother on my side in this wedding lehenga. Two years back, I had never imagined my life to turn like this. It's my wedding today and I am going to be tied in a bond of marriage with Mr. Viraj Shekhawat, who is a perfect guy for me according to my parents. I never doubt my parents, because they always wanted the best for me, but having an arranged marriage is something I had never thought of. I haven't even seen him once, just the photos. For the first time, I am going to see my husband in reality. This is both an exciting feeling as well as scary.

As I enter the chamber, I see people, a lot of people in the area. The sound of all kinds of bollywood music about weddings in the air, I wish I could also join them. I love to play guitar and piano, and being a pianist has always been my dream but as soon as my studies got completed, dad got a good guy for me to get married and according to mom, he is going to be the best for me. I am a very hopeless romantic, who spends all her holidays rejecting plans of her friends, and staying indoors reading romantic books or watching emotional romantic dramas. Yes, that's how I am.
"Daughter, sit here", mom asked me to sit somewhere, and it was not somewhere, it was next to him. I nodded a yes and held my dress nicely, and sat there beside him. I couldn't hold my excitement and I saw his hands, they looked manly, rough and tough, those fingers and a cold steel ring in one of them. My eyes went more up, looking at him from bottom to top, his face, it was perfectly built. He looked like a well built man, as I could see from his shoulders. He had brown almond eyes, and plump lips which turned into a smile as he saw me adoring him. I smiled back.
I took my eyes away from him. To be honest, I never imagined my husband to be like this. Studying and living abroad, my thinking about my would-be husband had completely changed, but that smile he passed onto me. Okay, I would agree, it was really heart warming.
"Let's begin with the vows", I heard his dad say and then what, our wedding started.
After the wedding vows were taken, our little eye contacts had already happened. I was too shy whenever he caught me looking at him. He also turned around if he felt like a distraction, he could understand I was feeling awkward.
Someone came from behind and gave him the small box like thing in which vermilion was kept. I looked at him, his face had a serious expression. Is he going to be this serious even after our marriage? Slowly, his two fingers dipped in that red powdery stuff and using his other hand, removing my maang tika, he put it there. I closed my eyes as I could feel some of the powder trickle down my face.
Next my mother in law, removed the chunar I was wearing to a side, so that he could get space to take his hands around my neck and tie the nuptial chain. I closed my eyes making myself understand that finally I have been wedded of. The main things of an Indian Hindu marriage are completed.
