A Trip Of Many Firsts

Dulhe Ko Ghode Pe Kyun Bittaya Jatha Hai?
Usse akhri mauka diya jaatha hai bhag jaane ko!!
ha ha ha

I came back last night after a nice trip to Agra. The reason for the visit was my best friend's wedding.

It was the first time I got to see a north Indian wedding. My first trip to the North. So, naturally first visit to the Taj and other monuments that I had only seen in the pictures. I remember making an album of Indian art and architecture during 10th standard, with pictures of Moghul monuments among others. I finally got to see them.

Above all, this trip also marked my first time in an aeroplane (Yay!!!!!!!!!) I returned to Bangalore by a Jetlite flight (#SC 322) from New Delhi. I must say it was very exciting and nice to be in the airport and in the air!!!!!

Im waiting for the pictures taken on a friend's camera. My camera let me down at the wrong times especially when we were at the Taj :(

The baraat arrived at the wedding hall with the dulha on a ghoda and guys dancing in the front. Later the ladies accompanying them also danced. It was very nice to see them dance with joy!!

The bride looked beautiful in a very expensive lehenga/choli and lots of make up. The couple are very much in love and looked very good together. Apparently in the north, they have a ceremony that goes on late in the night.

There was the ritual of Saath-phere and finally, the Bidaai when the bride is sent to her new home. After that we returned to our hotel rooms and prepared to return home.
