SHAADI MUBARAK!

CHAPTER 42

ENJOY!!

Everyone entered the mansion and gathered near the mandap, where the wedding ceremony would take place. Jungkook was already seated there, performing some rituals with the priest (Pandit ji).

The priest announced, " Please call the bride, the auspicious time is passing."

As the priest announced the arrival of the bride, the doors to the mandap opened, and Taehyung walked in, her eyes locked on Jungkook's.

Jungkook's eyes sparkled with tears as he gazed at his bride, his heart overflowing with love and gratitude. He rose from his seat, his hands trembling with anticipation, as Taehyung approached him.

Tae smiled at him, and both sat beside each other in the mandap.

As the priest chanted the sacred mantras, Jungkook's eyes remained fixed on his bride, Taehyung's face, captivated by her beauty and grace. His heart swelled with emotion as he gazed at her. Taehyung, sitting beside him, blushed, feeling Jungkook's intense gaze upon her.

Jungkook's attention was momentarily diverted when he noticed Jin, Jisoo, Minho, and Aria signaling something to each other. He frowned, wondering what they were up to.

Then, he looked at the other side, where Jack, J-Hope, Jimin, and Yoongi were whispering to each other. Jungkook thought to himself, "What's going on? What plan are they making?"

Lost in thought, Jungkook's gaze fell upon his shoes, which he had removed before sitting on the mandap. He smirked to himself and subtly pulled his shoes towards him with his finger, hiding them from Taehyung's lehenga.

"Now, let's see how they try to find them," he thought, smiling to himself.

As the wedding ceremony continued, Jungkook refocused his attention on the proceedings, but his mind was still on the playful antics of his friends. He wondered how they would try to retrieve his shoes, and he was eager to see their plan unfold.

"The parents of the bride, please come forward for the Kanyadan..."

Taehyung's parents, with tears of joy in their eyes, rose from their seats and approached the mandap.

As the priest chanted the mantras, Taehyung's parents looked at Taehyung with tears in their eyes, as they couldn't believe they were giving away their little princess in marriage to her love, Jungkook.

The sacred fire crackled softly in the background, casting a warm glow over the ceremony. Taehyung sat beside Jungkook, both adorned in traditional wedding attire, their hands clasped together in anticipation and love.

The priest, garbed in saffron robes, called for the Kanyadan ritual to begin. Taehyung's father stepped forward, holding Taehyung's hand gently. With a voice thick with emotion, he spoke the ancient words, offering his daughter to Jungkook. The priest guided them through the ritual, explaining each step and its significance.

Taehyung's mother, unable to hold back her tears, placed her hand over her husband's, completing the symbolic gesture of giving away their child. She whispered a blessing to Jungkook, entrusting him with the care and happiness of their beloved Taehyung.

Jungkook, eyes filled with reverence and love, accepted Taehyung's hand, vowing to cherish and protect her for the rest of their lives. The priest tied their hands together with a sacred thread, symbolizing their eternal bond.

Meanwhile, Jin and Jisoo started searching for the shoes, while Minho and Aria kept their eyes on Yoonmin, who were glaring back at them. Jack and J-Hope were busy looking for the shoes.

Jungkook looked at their tense faces and chuckled to himself.

"Yaar, Jisoo, where did the shoes disappear to? They were just here on the mandap a minute ago!" Jin said, letting out a tired sigh.
