Hey mochi'sBefore we start the chapter let me say a few words that is
In our rituals both the groom's family and bride's family prepare the turmeric paste but I only mentioned that groom's family made it as they send the remaining turmeric paste for the bride
The second thing is mandap, to explain on simple words we can say tent as well where four persons holds the dupatta from each end and the bride and groom both stand under the mandap in haldi and after haldi for some rituals also they had to come while standing under the mandap only
---------------------------------------------------------
The day of haldi:
Finally the day of haldi came and seokmin's mansion filled with guests who came from everywhere
Seokmin's both paternal ans maternal grandmas, seokmin's favourite aunties and his cousins and their close friends
Seokmin's friends and most trusted persons
Hansol and seungkwan also came 2 days before to help in the preparations as Mrs Lee is not at all showing any interest in the wedding preparations
She only cares about her shopping and herself only
But there is one person who loves seokmin like her own kid which is Bae Suzy who is seokmin father's sister
She don't have any kids as her womb is so weak to consume any child so she always thinks seokmin as her own child
She always shower seokmin with mother love and affection as she knows how Mrs Lee treats seokmin
The hall filled with relatives who is sitting there like they came for a meeting or some unknown folk performance and some were preparing the bride's gift
Aunt Suzy is making the haldi paste for the groom
She add turmeric powder, and the sandalwood powder and some dry rose petals and mix it well and add some scent into that paste to make it smell nice
Suzy: guys come come eat lunch quickly so that we can start thw actual haldi function
She cheered coming into the living room
Seungkwan went to seokmin's room to wake him up and make him get dressed who is doing everything with sleepy eyes as he slept late because he misses Joshua so much as he last talked with him on the flower braid ritual
After the quick lunch the living room cleared and they spread mats and put the haldi stool in the middle of the mat and seungkwan guide seokmin to sit on the still
Aunt Suzy is the first one to come forward to apply the turmeric paste on seokmin's cheeks, neck, arms and legs
Followed by her everything did the same and thr last own to do that is Mrs Lee
