Hitched!

On 7^th December 2014, I woke up in a state of nervousness, yet there was happiness because that day will be the most memorable day in my life. Wedding is always a nerve wracking experience. Mine was Indian marriage which was performed with great funfair. All people whether rich or poor want it to be a memorable occasion. My wedding day was the most joyous day of my life. Since then, I have learned that such moments do not happen all the time. It is important to enjoy them.

                 My wedding day was fulfilled with many emotional including happiness, sadness, excitement and fear. My wedding has been the most blissful moment in my life. It all happened very quickly, from the moment we engaged till the moment we walked around the sacred circle on our wedding day.

                My wedding filled with big moments like tying the three knots, emotional, hugs from friends and family and also the first kiss! But there are some moments on my wedding day that I can’t erase it from my memory.

                 I had not seen my wife in her nice glittering saree and had no clue what it would look like. I waited for her arrival on the stage of our wedding ballroom. The priest was keeps on disturbing my view towards the ballroom door with his huge body and the smoke from the sacred circle in front of me. Best part I remember is seeing the hotel ballroom open as I stood there, looking at her all dressed up for the first time. I thought "goddamn my wife is hot”. She wore a reddish pink saree.  When she was walking down the aisle, and suddenly I was only able to see her, and her face had a huge, stupid grin on it, just like mine did. I still can't tell you who was sitting by the aisle as she walked up it. It was all a blur except for her. She was looking like a glittering star that moment.

                On my wedding day, about two hours after the reception ended, my wife and I went to a photo studio to snap our portrait photo. While waiting for the photographer to get ready, we had been talking, catching up as we had a little time to talk in the day or two leading up to a wedding and suddenly there was a moment of silence. I was toying with my toe ring (Indian Hindu men wear toe rings, called Minji in Tamil, to signify their marital status like a wedding ring) and out of nowhere I said, "These are some of the greatest hours that a decent man could ever expect to have." My wife hugged me and said “I LOVE YOU” for the first time after we tie the knots.  That was the unforgettable and happiest day in my life.

P/S: Thanks my dear wife.
