Welcome To The Indian Wedding

Dresses so radiant that blur your sight

However the guests behave, the bride has to be polite.

Beware girl you could be next

In aunt’s sarcastic smile there’s a lot of sub-text.

The lighting, the decorations set the mood,

But the highlight of ceremony is the food!

As the aroma of the delicious dishes fills the hall

For exchanging the garlands the priest calls

After flower petals are showered on the newly-weds there’s a huge applause

However both bride and groom are cautiously observing their in-laws

After filling their tummies, the guests, to click a photo, form a queue

Where they have to shower their blessing and say a thing or two

Sometimes handshakes and awkward smile is all that the couple receives

Emotional window opens when wedding is over and bride takes everybody’s leave

The couple would hear this line so many times “On this new path you’d be heading…”

Family, friends, colleagues, relatives, everyone is Welcomed to this Indian Wedding…
