gupta farm house was loking nt less than a palace...
two exact same mandaps were set in the middle of the hall n hall was decorated in the combination of white in pink curtains...
with white n light purple orchids..
Armann n Rahul were made to sit in the mandaps..
pandit chanted n few manters..
after hearing ria's coment about their beloved n her prank of nt showing them the pics made Armann n Rahul impatient..
With every pasing mantra they were cursing the ancestors who made the marriage rituals too long..!!
Aman who was siting next to Rahul ran towards the stairs
Aman : mom...!!
This made Armann n Rahul look towards their lady love coming down..
Ridhima was wearing mahroon lenga with golden embroidery n heavy jewelry n was nt looking les than a queen of a palace..
Folowed by Ridhima... Muskan came down wearing a purple lehange with silver embroidery..
Armann n Rahul looked at their love with intense gaze.. Armann winked at Ridhima wen their eyes met.. This made Ridhima lower her head n blushed.. turning her cheks to the deeper shade of red..
Now bride n groom were standing next to each other.. They exchanged garlands.. N pandit ji started the kanyadan cermony...
After kanyadan cemonay.. Ria n aman tied the knot "gathband" of Armanns stol n Ridhima's dupata.. Then of Rahul n Muskan's even..
As this was a unique weding.. Kids that were the source of the parents reunite thus kathbandan was done by them...
Both couples completed the 7 rounds "pheras'," around the holy fire n took voves..
Both Rahul n Armann filed the partition with sindhur and tied mangalsutra around the necka of Muskan n Ridhima...
And finally they were declalared as man n wife...!!!
Both couples took blessing of the elders n they proceed towards the gate for bidai...
Ridhima's eyes were full of tears.. She had mixes felings.. The dream she had sen from her teenage days... To be with her amu her besti her love of life.. father of her kids.. Had finaly come true.. Now her family will complete in true sense.. Now her no their kids will get love of father n mother both.. Bt she was also sad about the fact she will no more be Ridhima chaudhary.. Now her idienty will change from a daughter to wife.. All her id profs will have w/o Armann vadhera instead of d/o shishank chaudhary.. No doubt she has taken responsibility of her family n kids after her father went into coma.. Bt still she was a daughter.. Bt now she has to perform duties of a wife as wel as daughter in law... She was confused whether to cry or to be happy...
Bidai is the most emotional stage of wedding.. As it turns life a girl upside down..
With this confusion n heavy heart Ridhima steped into the car...
Armann along with aman n ria saat with Ridhima n left for the hotel were couples will stay for tonite.
For AR a double room was boked.. Kids will sleep in the attached room so that couple could get privacy...!!!
Armann : Ridhima.. u go n get fresh till then ill make them change..
saying soo Armann took kids to the attached room..
after 15 mins Ridhima cam wearing a red simple saree.. she just wore her mangalsutra in her neck and her chuda in her both arms.. she had removed her entire makeup.. bt still her face had a difernt glow...
Armann was stining on bed with aman n ria who were leaning on his shoulders.. n the three of them bsy taking..
Ridhima too joined them..
after spend some family time.. AR made aman n ria asleep n moved towards their rum after closing the door of kids room...
Armann went to the wash room to get fresh.. while Ridhima was stood near the window adoring the full moon..
Armann came out of the washroom wearing his nite suit.. without making any noice Armann moved towards Ridhima.. n wraped his arm around her waist from behind...
Ridhima was soo much lost in her own dream world she did not realize wen Armann came.. she came out of her la la land wen she felt something cold on her bare waist..
n it did not take her even a fraction of second to realize it was none other than her amu...
Armann : ridhu u know wat.. today u were soo sexy in the weding dres.. only I know how I was able to sit just next to u n could nt even compliment u,... n had to listen to that boring pandit.. from does he rember so much.. don't he get bored of these long mantra's...
Ridhima : amuuu...!!! We were getting married n u were bsy curing the poor pandit who did the rituals of our marriage...(she looked at him with surprised cum angry face...)
Armann leaned forward n kissed her chek
Armann : I missed these expression of urs a lot...
Ridhima blused hearing the weirdo compliment of her idiotic hubby.. bt she was habitual of this.. Armann never used to compliment her directly.. his every compliment were too confusin.. sometimes it become difficult to understand was he actually complimenting of making fun of her.. bt Ridhima loved this side of Armann n she knew he would never change.. n she didn't want even..
Armann : omg ridhu.. did u get some kind of allergy with that make up or any thing else..
Ridhima : wat allergy..
Armann : ur cheks.. they are soo red.. just like ur saree colour...(n winked at her in a mistivious way..)
Ridhima hit Armann on his chest n hid her face by hugging him tight...
Armann : u look beautiful wen u blush...
(n kissed her forehead..)
Armann picked Ridhima in his arms n moved towards the bed.. switching off the lites...
#############
