We have consulted with a priest who has advised us that there is an auspicious day for the engagement ceremony in one week , followed by the marriage ceremony the week after.

Laughter filled the air at the table as they exchanged sweet to express their joy. Shubman felt the urge to dance with happiness but managed to restrain himself. He sneakily looked at Ishan, who appeared devoid of any emotions, his face betraying nervousness.
