Things that turn out a marriage into a memorable event

A wedding is that glorious event which takes place at least once in the life of most everyone. It is the promise made by two people in love to spend the rest of their lives with each other, and stand strong with each other in happiness and in sadness.

It is said that a wedding is ‘the memorable event’ which takes place in the life of the people. But again, it is not just a union of two people, it is, in fact, a union of two different families and their cultures and traditions. But what really makes a marriage event so memorable? Ever thought about it?

Wedding or call it marriage is an event full of fun, love, emotions. But the most important ode of any wedding ceremony is its rituals. You could say marriage is the biryani and these rituals are the spices of this biryani.

No marriage could be complete without the spice of ritual in it. And these rituals turn a marriage ceremony into the most memorable event of one’s life. The emotions witness during these rituals is the true essence of any marriage.

Following are the most common traditional rituals of any Indian marriage:

• Engagement ceremony: An engagement ceremony is a pre-wedding ritual according to Indian cultures, two people officially take the decision of being part of each other’s life by exchanging rings. 

  

• Mehndi ceremony: This is again a pre-wedding ritual celebrated by the bride’s family, by applying Mehndi on the bride’s hands and legs for the marriage. Henna, most commonly known as Mehndi is also applied by other females of the bride’s and groom’s families.

• Haldi ceremony: Haldi ceremony is the most enjoyed pre-wedding ritual in the entire marriage event. During this ritual, the would-be bridegrooms have applied Haldi or the turmeric paste. In India, it is strongly believed that Haldi makes the bride’s and groom’s skin glow.

• Sangeet ceremony: Another most celebrated and enjoyed pre-wedding ritual in Indian marriages is the Sangeet ceremony which involves singing and dancing and lots and lots of music.
• Marriage ceremony: Though the whole marriage event includes many rituals to enjoy, this is the main ritual and most beautiful one at that. It is this ritual which binds two people as one forever.
