A Christian boy proposed a Hindu girl. Hindu girl informed about it to her parents as she wanted to say “yes”. Her parents met boy and his parents, they liked him, said “yes”. Does this sound simple and smooth? Yeah it went apparently very smooth at home, but might created turbulence out of home. Great thing is, in home people stayed calm,strong and together. So they won. It is not a common picture for an Indian society, but accepted happily, with smiling face is something I still amaze about.

The girl baptized herself for Christian church wedding. It was for her in-laws, for their happiness. And her in-laws agreed for Hindu wedding on next day, for their daughter in law’s happiness. : Sound simple again, but my Indian friends might know, how complex it could be. Lot of arguments, how can baptize girl who is Christian now can seat for Hindu wedding or how can guy who is not wearing Hindu janau (according to Hindu rituals, a thread, Hindu boy need to wear across chest for any auspicious ceremony), might be some arguments from boy’s side too, which I am unaware of. Love won irrespective of all arguments, all friction. It is not as simple as it sound, I salute both families, they made it simple. It finally proved, if happiness of each other is kept ahead, forgetting all ego behind, everything in this life is simple, will give joy and happiness, that is what the purpose of the life, of any relation, of a marriage between two people.. HAPPINESS.

Again while both weddings ceremony, things went smooth, both parties enjoying and respecting each-other’s rituals … no ego again … accepting all mistakes with smiles, hugging, smiling, exchanging pleasing notes … seems love was in air, full on. Singing, dancing…and all, simply a blast…that’s what I can say in short, about all functions, a Christian wedding in church, reception, Hindu wedding and finally a cocktail party with lot of pre planned script and dances. Everybody danced on sindhi (Hindu) dance as well south indian christian songs. Boy’s father hugged the Hindu priest (who explained meaning all Hindu rituals while Hindu wedding very well) and said that he was very happy for being blessed by his presence. Does this sound simple?? No, it is not. Even, in normal wedding of boy and girl of same caste and religion, boy’s people shows lot of ego, while performing all rituals, they want to prove their importance and so show their ego. Such a egoless gesture from him, simply amazed me. All were colored in one color that is happiness, love, smiles, forgetting all so called differences. I don’t have words to express. Only word I can use is GREAT. Happiness to … more happpines… no I think,… a real happiness.

This was all about wedding of my neice Kajal and her hubby Jithu, I attended last week.
Love you Kajal and Jithu! God bless!!
