Indian Wedding

All marriages are special. They are made in heaven. But what if the marriage is a script that looked right out of a Bollywood movie. One good friend gets married to the sister of his pal... And what if there are regional differences… the blood gushing through their veins is woven with the fibers of friendship… if one of them is South Indian while the other hails from North India …Cultures diffuse…. Borders r crossed… It has to be special. And indeed it was special. People flew in from all corners of the world to be a part of this occasion that followed with endless number of hugs, cheers, kisses flying, winks, high fives and more. Basically every part of the body was used in an extraordinary manner to indicate the joy forever. And so were the efforts that were put in making this marriage successful. Most notably the dance performances by many of the family members and the guests: practiced or natural it never stopped. There was ecstatic joy dancing through every atom of all participants. Nor did the food, wine or the number of events that followed before the main wedding day. Everyone looked stunning .The wedding itself was a riot of colours filling in the otherwise ethnic Indian dresses, the silk saris , the sharp suits, even the mandap looked absolutely magnificent. To be a part of someone's celebration is a joy forever………………………It’s known THERE’S DOUBLE THE JOY WHEN U HAVE SOMEONE TO SHARE IT WITH. And we had a hundred happy hearts showering their choicest blessings… for every moment this union … god has been kind on all to have allowed us to witness such an event…… On 6th Dec 2007, Udeeksha Nangia and Bharath Sankaran got married. The images thus shown are a result of the events that took place before and during this wedding.
