I know almost every girl loves her wedding day and I am no different.
Rohit and I got married on the 27th of November 2009, while the wedding itself was perfect what made our day was the fact that nearly all our family and most of our friends were present - we felt sincerely blessed and I think absolutely nothing could have ruined our day!

Rohit and I come from different parts of India and we really wanted our wedding to respect both families' traditions. In true Indian wedding style we had three days and nights of functions, food and fun!
To start with on the 25th we had our ring or engagement ceremony. We also included the
Sangeet (A musical and dance night)
, Chunri Chadana (A ceremony where a bride's in-laws dress her up) and
Tilak (A ceremony for the boy where the girls family formally welcomes him) on the same night.
