As the sun dipped low, throwing a golden vibe over the place, all eyes went to Ashwini and Armaan as they strolled in hand in hand. But, check it – Ashwini, the bride, seemed kinda meh, not really vibing with the whole maharani vibe. On the flip side, Armaan, the groom, was walking in like a boss, living his maharaja fantasy, but his grin was on mute. It was like a regal soap opera, drama silently unfolding as they entered. The whole scene had this 'what's the real deal here?' vibe, leaving everyone guessing about the royal backstory.
"Ladka toh bada suthra laagee hai" said an aunty crushing over Armaan from behind which made her husband to dart his eyes on her.
(Translation: the boy looks great)
"Aunty, bhai hai mera... aapki toh shaadi aur bachhe hogye par I don't mind, aap mere se setting krlo" said Ansh to which the aunty's husband almost held his collar but his charm worked as always to which Shivani standing beside him again gave him a side eye because she hated his tactics to an extent...
(Translation:- aunty, he is my brother. You are married and have kids but I don't mind being set up by you)
"Atleast kisi ko toh chordo.. do bachhe hai unke"
(translation:- Atleast leave someone, she has two kids)
"Abb aunty ko mujhme interest hai toh Mai kya kru" said Ansh adjusting his collar and smirking..
(Translation:- what do I do now if aunty is interested in me)
"Aunty ko tumme nahi Armaan mai interest hai vaise mai majak mai Armaan ke saath flirt krti hu. They both look so good together like a match made in heaven" said Shivani looking over our royal couple
"What if I say that you are looking heavenly today and I just can't take my eyes off you?" said Ansh as Shivani was looking gorgeous draped in a silk saree.
"That's unhealthy for you, Mr. Ansh Rajvansh" said Shivani but Ansh glanced at her with his teeth cracking with each other.
On the stage, Ashwini and Armaan were standing with their hands intertwined into each other, eyes looking forward without looking at each other because they were too awkward to face each other.
a massive arch dripping with bold red roses, enough to make even Cupid jealous. And don't even get me started on the vibe – it was like walking into a love-struck dreamland. With each step, the bride and groom were owning the moment, ready to dive headfirst into their happily ever after, surrounded by all the feels and a whole lot of flower power.
Everyone started to murmur about how the groom has changed, "There might be some fault in this girl only that's why he left her", "Arrey, did you hear? Aarav, the original groom, made quite the exit! Left the poor girl hanging with a broken heart. But hush, we're not here to spread gossip.". Listening all these baseless gossips, Ashwini took the mic into her hand and gave a powerful speech that shocked everyone to an extent.
"Namaste everyone, as you know life take unexpected turns, Aarav's departure gracefully made way for Armaan, my companion. While love may not be the star of our story, we embrace this chapter with respect and understanding. So, I would like to request you all to get off the gossips because trust me that really doesn't take anyone anywhere. RESPECTFULLY. Jai Shri Krishna!"
This was like a tight slap on mouth of people who were just here for drama and a reality check to those who were happy in her happiness like her parents.
"Var, Vadhu varmala ke liye saamne aajaye" said Panditji who was standing right behind them and was well aware of the hinderances and delayness in marriage.
LIstening to him, Ashwini and Armaan's father took their respective child forward for the rituals to happen. Though, Armaan was finally living his dream, he was not happy because it was not due to Ashwini's will but just a settlement. Armaan did some gestured towards Khanna and he understood what he actually needs to do.
"Pandit ji, if marriage has delayed by so much time then please just two more minutes" said Khanna coming over on the stage. "Mam, can you please give me your hands" as soon as he said this, two eyes were staring him with such coldness that he got 2 ft away "I mean just put your hand forward or put in sir's hand"
Listening this, Ashwini did as he said totally confused about the happenings. Khanna took out mehndi from his pocket and wrote the letter M and N (FLASHBACK : When Ashwini met Armaan in his room, he unknowingly erased letter V from his hands") Now Ashwini's hand had all the letters Armaan had in his name.
"Sir, can you please put your hand forward" he said and wrote A on his hand to which Armaan blushed as this was definitely not a part of plan.
"Now it's a good omen" said Ashwini's father and clicked a photo of both their hands together. "Now, get going with Varmala. Its already too late"
"Please give garland to both the bride and groom" said Panditji and Shivani came forward to give them Varmala.
Ansh hyped everyone present in the function which were very less people because most of them left after humiliation they had to face after Ashwini's powerful speech because she had always been like a baby who would always take insults and never say anything. Ansh hyping made everyone to go "ASHMAN... ASHMAN... ASHMAN... ASHMAN... ASHMAN..."
Listening to these hootings made Armaan and Ashwini embarrassed enough to even look at each other but when they did, they couldn't keep their eyes away from each other and just kept staring at each other eyes like they were unable to talk in words but their eyes could say them all.
"Pehele var vadhu ko maala pehnayenge" said Panditji ji and Armaan glanced at Ashwini to finally put garland in her neck. As soon as he bend forward to put garland, a flare of colour entered the skies making it go all colours and the rose petals were rained over ASHMAN.
(Translation:- Firstly, groom will put garland on bride's neck)
"Abb vadhu var ko mala pehnayengi" said Pandit ji and Ashwini put varmalla on his neck making the environment go all ASHMAN. As soon as she bend forward and put varmalla, her bracelet got stuck to Armaan's button on kurta which made their face only at a distance of 1 inch from each other. While detaching it, their eyes were staring at each other as if it was only then and nobody else. If Armaan could, he just wanted to taste her at that moment but he couldn't.
(Translation:- now, bride will put garland on groom's neck)
"Varmalla ki rasam sampann hui, abb dono Var aur vadhu ek doosre ko kiss kre" he said as Ashwini had intentionally called a funny Panditji but she was not definitely regretting it because embarassment was visible on her face. She had become red that she didn't even need blush at the moment.
(Translation:- varmala rasam is complete now, Bride and groom may kiss each other)
"Pandit ji..." Said Armaan looking over Panditji then Ashwini and then again Panditji "aap? Mtlb?"
"Aree.. he is not asking you to give birth to kids, just kiss guys. We promise that we won't see" said Ansh and the three musketeers - Shivani, Khanna, Ansh put hands on their eyes secretly peeking.
"If not kiss, then hug atleast. I hope you need some candid photos for your gram" said Panditji grinning and Ashwini, Armaan nodded to hug each other. To Armaan, it was something he wanted for so long. But to Ashwini, just a mere responsibility.

As soon as they hugged, a girly voice came from behind, "Armaannnnn". She held out her hands and whole crowd made way for her. "You are getting married to Ashwini? Ansh told me. I was so excited that I cancelled all my meeting and came." She came forward to hug him, "its been about a year since we met and today it's your marriage. I am so happy for you" she said and took their balaye. Then she went towards his ears and murmured so quietly that nobody could hear except him, "Finally, Ashwini is yours."
"How can my day become happy without you, Aaruu " he said hugging her back and murmured in her ears "She will never me mine even after becoming my wife" listening this made some sadness to emerge from Aarohi's eyes.
"Ashwini, do you remember me? I am Aarohi. Me, Ansh and Armaan had a trio in school time and you didn't talk to me that much but Armaan and Ansh were your good buddies and specially Armaan" She said and Ashwini just gave her a feeble smile and replied in affirmative.
"Now let's go, it their day. Let them have the limelight." Said Ansh and took her off the stage. Ashwini noticed Khanna looking at Avanya mysteriously but ignored it thinking it as her wrong intuition.
"Var aur vadhu fero ke liye abb mandap par aa jaye" said Pandit ji and Ashman once again looked into each other eyes. Pandit ji made them to hold their hands and they moved towards mandap. While sitting, Armaan noticed tears in her eyes to gave her his handkerchief.
(Translation:- now bride and groom must come to aisle for rounds)
While sitting on the mandap, Armaan murmered in her ears, "Mrs. Rajput roiye mat kyuki abb aap meri jimmedari hai" he said and that made a feeling crept into both of their heart but Ashwini didn't reply and handed him his handkerchief back.
(Translation:- don't cry Mrs. Rajput because now you are my responsibility)
"Thanks for the handkerchief"
Few minutes later, after phere got over. "Abb var vadhu ko Mangal Sutra pehnayega" said Panditji and Armaan picked the mangalsutra "The mangalsutra, a radiant thread that weaves the hearts of two souls into the eternal fabric of love and commitment. So remember that you can't ever get off this. Its do or die" he said making the crowd go awe.
(Translation:- now, groom will put nuptial chain around bride's neck)
A music started playing on background and Armaan tied mangalsutra in Ashwini's neck which their eyes piercing through each other's soul.
"Abb aakhri rasam ka samay aagya hai, abb var vadhu ko sindoor lagayenge"he said and Armaan took sindoor on a coin and put into her maang dropping some on her nose as he had heard that it was a good omen.
(Translation:- now it's time for last ritual. groom will put sindoor on bride's forehead)
"VIVAAH SAMPANN HUA.. AAJ SE AAP PATI PATNI HUE" Said Panditji and relief was truly visible on Armaan's eyes because it was Mr. and Mrs. Rajput. This was the moment he was waiting for from a decade. "Abb aap apne bado ko aashirvaad le" . Armaan and Ashwini took off from their place and went towards to take blessings from their parents as a couple.
(Translation:- Wedding is over now. You are wife and husband from now., Take blessings of your elderly)
"Khush raho beta" said Ashwini's parents blessing and hugging them "Jug jug jeeyo"
(Translation: Stay happy, Stay longer)
As soon as they went to Armaan's parents, his mother didn't see towards them and diverted her face so did Armaan and didn't even touch her feet but only his father's. May your marriage be filled with love, understanding, and endless happiness as you embark on this beautiful journey together" he kept his hand on their head.
"I have made arrangements for your wedding night, just wait and watch how you will be proud of me being your friend" he said and was met by anger of Armaan so went back..
