United We Stand!!!

After what seemed like a long wait, a very dear friend of mine walked down the aisle last week. On the 29th of December, 2006, Beta and Pavethra reached the point of no return!!! A group of us friends went to Nagercoil for the wedding. It was a nice, fun-filled trip, but, more on that later! The wedding was long awaited more because it was fun to see a once hesitant to get married Beta, slowly transform into the much happy and impatient for the D-day groom!!!

The ceremony lasted for a little over three-quarters of an hour, interspersed with prayers and songs aplenty! Pamphlets detailing the entire proceeding were handed over to all present. This rendered following the happenings easier and more enjoyable. The six of us who attended the ceremony were sitting a few rows behind the front rows of the pew, and hence couldn't hear the couple declare their wedding vows too well. Nevertheless, we enjoyed every minute of the service, and hastened to click pictures of the newlyweds as soon as they were proclaimed husband and wife.

The groom looked smart in his wedding suit, while the bride was absolutely resplendent in cream and white! Her veil was so beautifully long and the flower girls on either side so darlingly cute that it intensified my desire of a lovely church wedding!!! After posing for a few photographs, they soon zoomed away to the reception hall, which was where we all headed next. Read more about the trip to Nagercoil and the reception party in my subsequent posts. For now, here are a couple pictures of the blushing two!
