Hey guys!!!

Thanks for all your votes and comments!!!

Hope you like it!!

Check out the media, its your invite for Meghna and Aditya's sangeet ceremony on 19th December,2014.

And now..let's begin with her Mehndi ceremony!!

*****************************

Meghna was tossing and turning in her bed. She tried hard to close her eyes and waited for sleep to consume her again. But tough luck. The excitement for her wedding had taken her sleep away.

Today was the first ceremony of her wedding i.e her

Mehndi Ceremony.

Meghna finally took her phone below the pillow and checked the time as it was still dark outside she couldn't guess the time.

She sighed loudly realising it was just 5am in the morning. She knew nobody would be up this early as everyone in their house except her had slept pretty late due to all the preparations.

She was sent off to take rest by her aunts saying it was her day and she must be all fresh and energetic for enjoying it.

Meghna decided to get up but as soon as she sat she realised she would never be able to reach the washroom because all her cousins were sleeping around her bed on the floor.

Meghna sighed and again flopped on the bed.

After and hour or so her Dadi walked in her room and asked all the girls to get ready as Meghna's Mehndi designer would be coming in an hour and before that they had to take care of the other rituals as well.

Around 8 am everybody had their breakfast and made the final arrangements for the ceremony.

Finally Supriya along with shruthi, sakshi and Aditya's aunts arrived at Meghna's house with the Mehndi.

After a few minutes the mehndi designers also arrived.

Sakshi enthusiastically said

"So let's start with the Mehndi ceremony...okay..I know everyone is curious that why are we applying Mehndi to Meghna in the morning when the actual ceremony is planned in the evening.

So the reason is

It will take atleast 5 hours to design Meghna's bridal mehndi and if we start with that in the evening then she will have to sit idle during the ceremony and she will get bored and if we drag her for some dance or something her mehndi would get spoilt, So we have decide that the rituals will take place in the morning and all the family members will apply mehndi right now so that till evening it will dry out and we all can enjoy the ceremony freely without worrying about the mehndi being wet.

All the guests will apply mehndi and will enjoy our performances."

Everybody appreciated sakshi's thoughtfulness but one of Meghna's younger cousins who were like 12 years odd said

"This is not fair...in serials and all they apply it with the songs being played and all..it so boring right now"

Everyone laughed at their cribbing and asked them to wait till evening for the performances.

Finally Aditya and Meghna's mothers did Meghna's tilak and Aarti and placed a dupatta (veil) over her head.

After that each married women did her tilak and aarti.

Then Aditya's and Meghna's mother placed betal leaf on Meghna's each palm and applied mehndi on it. And all the married women followed their suit.

Suddenly one of Meghna's cousins spoke out of nowhere
