Punjabi Wedding Part X - Noon Ceremony


The groom's sister and parents drove us to their house. Once we reached their house, the groom's mother will pour some oil at the door step. Then the couple entered the house and we follow behind.

The groom's mother served us water, cakes, indian sweet and watermelon. J finally got to go toliet. The bride sit down with us and suddenly J break into tears........... guess she must be homesick, leaving her goodfriend soon or tired???? The bride got worry, after a while she is ok and she doze off on the chair.

We are waiting for the groom's relatives to come and start the nxt ceremony, not sure wht is it call but they hv to take out the string tied on their hands. All of us are feeling sleepy in the hot weather. The bride's sister went to help out with housework, washing, sweeping the groom house until the groom told his mum its not right and the groom's mum jump up from the sofa to stop her.

Finally his relatives arrived, they made a big bowl of bandung and place in between the couple. They are then to take out the red string tied to their hand, struggling, struggling. After they are done, there is a little game for them. The groom's auntie dropped their rings into the bundung, the couple will then dig their hands into the syrup and find the ring. It is said that the person who got the ring first will rule the house. There are 3 rounds and the bride got 2 rounds, hehe so she will be the lady Queen............

After the ceremony, the groom's family drove us back. It is about 5pm. Everyone went to our room as they had check out their room this morning since they are leaving tonite. J, BB and me take a quick shower and decided go out for a dinner and do some shopping. We left the room to the 2 families.
