Beautiful update Varsha...
First of all...description of marriage was beautiful and I don't feel it boring...Secondly u have described North Indian marriage correctly...Pheras, mangalsutra rasam is in South also...difference is that in some part of South Pheras are taken around a holy Pillar not fire...main difference between South and North Indian marriage is filling of sindoor...even in north India in some part of Punjab...there are four Pheras not seven...my point is that don't stress urself...it is all right what u have written if some traditional part is missing it is okay...
thanx for pm
