The next morning, we got up early at 5. We got ready and started to the venue. I was literally preparing what to say to Ishu all night and still preparing. I wish that one goes well. We got to the place of the marriage. It's a lawn marriage near a beach.

We arrived to the area and everyone were
waiting for us. In South Indian marriage,
the bride's family will receive the groom by taking 'Aarti'. So, the groom has to give gifts to people who take 'Aarti' for him. It's a tradition.

Everyone came and got gifts from Adi. And
there she came. Gorgeous as always. Man, she is a goddess in a saree. She got her gift and smile looking at me. God, her smile. How can I not fall for it?

Once that is done. We started moving in.
The marriage process started as soon as Adi got to the stage. I just stood beside him. After some formalities Shalini came and they both did everything the priest said. Before they tie the knot, I quickly went and took photos with my friends and came back to Adi.

Adi and Shalini looked adorable. Their outfit

After so many mantras

After so many mantras. Finally, Adi put
"Thaali(nuptial knot)' on her. He tied one knot and I put two other knots. It's a tradition that the groom's sisters would tie two other knots. Thaali is tied to represent they are married and also women will wear it until death do them apart. Everyone showered 'Atchadhai' to the couples, it's a symbol of blessings.
