"There is a meaning of everything in the wedding, every ritual had their meaning which represent our goodness." geetanjali said.

"Well, The wedding day begins with worshiping Lord Ganesha and asking for his blessing for the couple's future, it is called ganapati puja.

after that Devdevak puja is an puja of our family god, and then The seeman Puja in that groom and his family arrives at the wedding venue and bride's mother washes the groom's feet, applies tilak on his forhead, does his arti and feeds him with sweets.

after this Gurihar Puja in this bride offers some of the rice to the Goddess and asks for her blessing for a prosperous life.

A cloth is held in front of the groom preventing him to see the bride and this cloth is known as the Antarpat.The Sankalp ritual  The priest chants the Mangalashtakas, or holy wedding vows.

after that The Kanyadan ritual comes in this father of the bride then gives his daughter away to the groom along with his blessings for them to start a lif.

In this, the couple ties a piece of turmeric or halkund with a thread on each other's hands and the ritual is known as Kankan bandhane. The groom then seals the ritual by placing the mangalsutra around her neck and applying vermillion on her center parting. The bride in return applies a sandalwood tilak on the groom's forehead.

The Satapadhi ritual, The couple circumambulate around the sacred fire seven times saying out loud the seven ritualistic weddings vows.

The Karmasampati ritual, At the end of all wedding ritual the couple prays in front to the holy fire before it is extinguished." she said.

"It's really good! thanks for all this information. I didn't know anything about it." advait said.

"My pleasure!" geetanjali said.

Flashback ends-

"Advait, you remember you didn't know the meaning of the vows." she asked him.

"Yeah.... Because I was not interested in wedding and also all I did ignored the wedding. I know how you told me the meaning of every vow in sanyukta's marriage." advait said.

"You remembers the day." she asked.

"Yeah! how could I forget that day. That was the first time I saw you in the saree and you were looking breathtaking beautiful in the saree." advait said.

"Thanks...." she said while trying to hide her blush from him. She got up from the couch and went to the bedroom, advait switched off the tv with lights and followed her steps.

She changed her clothes in to the night suit and laid on the bed without saying any word to him. I laid down beside her and he pulled her to him and whispered in her ears saying "I love you so much !"

As advait was going to sleep with her. She removed his hands from her waist pushing him to the bed as she said,

"I love you too !" After her words, her lips attached to his. It was unexpected to him. She never kissed him like this giving surprises. He didn't wanted to loose the chance as he took the chance and kissed him back.

'Now, I am the happiest man who alive on this earth.' advait thought to himself as the night started to drown in excitement.
