Huh?😲

These were given by my colleague who is actually part Rajasthani and punjabi. So I thought I was real lucky. Since I had not given the lineage of Khurana Khandan, I went for what she gave me as is with some additions as mentioned in Wiki.
Even I felt that they sort of matched south but he fact that marriages had the bride and groom very young at that time, made me think for a minute.
For them entertaining the kids were the first objective and making them realize that they were husband and wife was more important to them.
Checking the girl out was common all over India, secondly calling out the same before entry into groom's house - I didnt even know this existed.
I had seen some Hindi movie, where they were taking money from the groom for them to gain entry, so that confirmed the second one.
The third one was games and that I know for sure existed in north too. I have definitely seen the ring one..not the knots, but my colleague gave it to me.

So sorry if I had mixed it up.

What can I say...I'm at loss of words you've rendered me speechless dear....
the whole thing....starting from before the wedding till the wedding completed !

Each and everything chalked out in such a beautiful manner....the emotions and feelings gosh everything was so profound and intense !
Maan and Geet ....love so pure and natural !
I was ecstatic reading the whole update....the rituals and all highlighted so very well !!!

I don't have words dear...wonderful !!!

Do continue soon....lets see what happens now....and this is one FF that is so very close to reality and portrays everything in such a factual manner.....
And to get a life partner like Maan is really too good !! I love him, actually the one in your FF is more good then in the serial I must say....

One question before I end, How do you portray such emotions so very deeply and beautifully ?? Have you taken this from someone's life or is it a part of you ? Everything is explained so artistically feels real !!!

Take Care,
Fatima

loved the pheras
loved the way daadi explained about the red water
loved every bit of it
take good care of ur self
will be waiting 4 wednesday

Wonder why you mentioned that they took out the ring for the third time.
She never took off the ring since she put it on her ring at the shop. Part of her didnt want to take it off.
She had in on all the time. He took it off to propose the right away because the last time he just handed it off for her to try and he had not mentioned his intentions clearly at that time.

Hope this clears up

Maan got convinced so easily...
Wow
and she actually managed to say what was in heart
Double Wow

I did not expect Maan to get convinced so easily..he really confuses me...everytime i think ok I have him all figured out there you go adding another layer to his personality and I am back to square one!!

Isn't the woman supposed to be all mysterious and difficult to decipher- not the other way round😆

On a serious note- I wish you kept/include a more heartfelt proposal/avowal for when they are finally alone together..I want them to have a heart to heart and Geet has to say much more than she is Maan ki Geet! Munda maan gaya hai..readers itni asaani se nahi manenge 😆

I am a North Indian (even north of Punjab) married to a Tam- I think you got the ceremonies pretty alright..Post wedding games are a part of the wedding all over India...

Overall what I am trying to say is that I loved the wedding...tho I am sure the readers are waiting more eagerly for the next part than Maan 😆

Why do I have a feeling that as usual you would have planned something different for us?

Can't wait...

EDIT: You did bring her family back

EDIT EDIT: The jewellery is wow!

Before I begin with my comments for part 50, a big Congratulations for completing 50 parts of this amazing story. Hats off to you for giving beautiful updates day after day. I really appreciate the way you look into minute details before posting any part. Its truly been a great pleasure to read each and every update!

Time for comments now😛
I absolutely loved this part. I actually have no words to express how much I enjoyed reading this part. I am gonna read this part again after I finish writing comments and then doze off to sleep.
I was a bit confused while I read the title of this part. But the last line made it clear. But I'd like to ask these words are from which language?

I liked Maan's restlessness here, his urge to talk to Geet as soon as possible. He probably had lotta questions in his mind which only Geet could clear. Daadi tried to ease him a bit but she knows her grandson better and was smart enough to make sure that Maan and Geet do not talk until the marriage ceremony is done lest they both end up deciding not to marry.
Even Geet was a bit restless that she hasn't talked to Maan after taking this decision and about her decision to marry him but she's pretty confident now and optimist enough to welcome the new life, the new happiness being showered on her.

Daadi wants to make this wedding special. Liked the theme she picked up.
And I loved the pics. It helped a lot in visualizing Geet's dress and jewellery. Simply beautiful!!!
Both Yash and Meera have truly been her family. Meera-Geet hug was sweet and Yash going to pick up Maan as her brother was again very sweet! She's got her own little family who have supported her when she needed the support of her biological family the most.

Maan-Geet talk before the marriage was important. He had a big wave of questions to ask from her but this wave was soon silenced by her single-line reply. Though I wasn't expecting Maan to understand this so soon, wanted a heart-to-heart conversation but, then may be, somethings are better left unsaid. Her reply was strong enough to push aside all the questions he had. I liked the way he proposed out to her again. That was actually sweet😊

And then the wedding😊
The wedding rituals-I am sure these aren't of Northern India. Which part of the country does it belong to? And the part where Daadi asks her to walk, to dance-does this actually used to happen? The rapid-fire question round-the one they had at the French cafe was the best!
Loved the wedding part a lot, specially the silent promises they made to each other during the pheras. That was really beautiful.
And I appreciate the efforts you've taken to describe the wedding in detail.
The games played post wedding were really fun. I enjoyed this part a lot. I remember the ring and the knot game being played at my cousin brother's wedding last year. Its truly great fun, not only for the couple playing it but also for the on-lookers. Also, the part where Meera and Yash stop Maaneet at the entrance besides the main one, reminded me of the same thing I did last year. I along with my two cousin sisters stood at the entrance of the room where the games were to be played and didn't let Bhaiya-Bhabhi enter without teasing them and taking the money, or the shagun, as its being referred to.

If I have to summarize in one word, my feelings after reading this update, it would be esctatic! I simply enjoyed this part. You really made this special😊
Thank you for the beautiful, heart-touching part😊

Hmmm, its 3.10 am here, I should probably go to sleep now. But I can't resist the temptation to read this part again. So before catching some sleep, I am gonna read this part once more😊

Ok even Sharadv asked me this, but if you trust me there is a heart to heart, but it is scattered across so many parts I cant give you just one number like I do when I drop hints. As I mentioned there is one coming up in Part 51 but that is what will kick start this chain.

Its going to be a slow question and answer session between each of them and how they discover all that they went through in the past.
