Undoubtedly., for me...the saath pheras.
They give the exact definition to the bond of a marriage .
Anandi when she was a child bride., obviously could not have understood neither the meaning nor sanctity of these saath pheras.
But now., she being a complete woman, once, taken those steps with Shiv., will wholeheartedly comply with those.
Shiv, being her better half, would not lag behind.
My view about AnSh marriage :
Haldi ceremony :
Anandi :
My mind and my heart are purified and cleansed to welcome a new phase in my life.
I'am thrilled., how this sacred golden powder is adding a glow to my body and my soul.
Shiv :
The atmosphere at my home is yellow with Joy.
Can't wait to see Anandi glowing with the beauty , the haldi brought to her countenance.
Mehndi ceremony :
Anandi :
The mehndi has turned lovely deep red., symbolizing Shiv's love for me.
For sure, his love is more deeper than the color on my hands., with his eternal support shown for my sentiments this day.
I can never forget the happiness I saw in the eyes of those young widows, with the hue of mehndi that lent to their pale palms.
Shiv :
With Anandi's name , deep red on my palm., my love for her has gone deeper.
This ceremony, has been quite meaningful adding a color on my Choti Maa's graceful demeanor.
Sangeet :
Shiv :
Oh My God..!!!
What did Saanchi do...??!!
What did she know of Anandi, to put up such a farce...!!!
I'am so Sorry...Anandi...I apologize on her behalf, Please forgive her...she is an immature kid.
She's got so much to learn from you., and I'am sure you will be an excellent guide.
=========
I cannot see Daadiji in this state.
Her heart is weeping for her grandson.
I should try and do whatever is in my capacity, to bring that adorable smile on her face.
A moment with Jagya :
Anandi:
A small talk with Jagya, before me, becoming all of Shiv's.
Was it a mist of sadness , I see in his eyes...?
You reap...whay you sow...Jagya...All the consequences are a result of one's actions, choices...!!!
Am' so very glad he acknowledged Shiv in my life, by gifting that Shiv - Parvati idol...what a thoughtful jesture from him...!!!
Our childhood bond of friendship can never be disintegrated...Jagya...that's the beauty and the sanctity of that bond...
We will wish each other always well...
First looks as a Bride & a Groom :
Anandi :
Shiv is looking so regal in his grooms attire...My Surya Badal...!!!
Shiv :
Anandi is resplendent as a bride...she is looking more beautiful than a dream.
I'am scared, if this is a dream...??!!
On the ritual :
Anandi :
Shiv applies sindoor on my forehead, I'am now a Soubhagyavathi.
I apply tilak on his forehead, he's now a Grihasta.
We are joined together in a marriage knot, as a symbol of our permanent bond.
Anandi & Shiv :
Agni, the holy fire, which symbolizes light , power and knowledge acts as a witness to our marriage.
We repeat the sacred pledge of marriage.
Shiv :
I am the sky, you are the earth. I am the thought, you are the speech. I am the fire and you are the fuel. I am the song, you are the verse, I am the ocean, you are the shore. I am the strength but you are the beauty. I am the Purush, and you are my Prakriti.
Anandi :
Let us live together lovingly & bring up our progeny. Let us lead a joyful life of a hundred years.
Anandi & Shiv :
We take the saath pheras together, to reiterate our aspirations of our married life.
With the first step, we will provide for and support each other.
With the second step, we will develop mental, physical & spiritual strength.
With the third step, we will share the worldly possessions.
With the fourth step, we will acquire knowledge, happiness and peace.
With the fifth step, we will raise strong and virtuous children.
With the sixth step, we will enjoy the fruits of all seasons.
With the seventh step, we will always remain friends and cherish each other.
Our Shubh Vivaah comes to a beautiful conclusion, by declaring us, Husband & Wife.
There are quite a few., but my most favourite would be...the night after the confession.
I Loved the Mood., I Loved the Song...
I Loved the way the Nightie was discarded...I loved his kiss on her forehead.
I Loved the passion in his eyes., I loved her melting like a candle in the heat of his passion.
The whole scenario was so beautifully and aesthetically done., the background score could not have been more apt.,
It was an awesome treat to the senses.
I could not have asked for more.


During marriage there were many rituals ansh went thrugh... the haldi wic came from Shiv's side made Anandi get coloured in Shiv's colour... Mehndi depitced the deepth of love and essence in the relationship of ANSH... Sangeet was for fun where both families with their repected reletives joined in and not only celebrated the union of ANSH but came in more close and became one family... ANSH marriage was the beautiful site of their union of trust, love, faith, respect support, dedication commitment and all hardships they underwent before marriage and also which they would face together in future as one... Warmala when Shiv bowed in front of Anandi as in a guy bowes in front of the image he not loves but also devoted towards the same, Kanyadaan was the faith of Bhairo and Sumitra in Shiv that he can look after their daughter but also give her all the happiness of the world she deserves, Saath phere were the 7 promises they made to each other to love, respect, support, dedicate and spend their life together not only in this birth but the also for next 7 births, and to consil the same was the vermillion Shiv put on Anandi's mang which also declared that she belongs to him... last not least was bidaai... a real painful and happy moment for ANSH were she was sad to leave her family and he was happy that anandi will stay with him for rest of her life, the most surpising moment for me was wen Tausa told Shiv not to let Anandi cry orelse he will have to ans him... the person who never showed his emtions was also moved by this... n DS evn while Anandi was going taught and reminded her, her duties which she had fulfill... thus with the blessing of all ANSH they started their new life...
the best moment for me during this one year of Ansh marraige was:
