So marriage is a social construct for long term romantic commitment, but most marriages have a proposal and acceptance based ritual in it... In most Hindu weddings it is the Mala badal, which signifies the proposal by the bride and acceptance by the groom and vice versa... Correct me if I am wrong, but ring exchanges in Christian weddings have the same purpose...
So Rudhi didn't exchange rings or Varmalas, but they did reaffirm their love to each other when both were staring at the moon... They affirmed their commitment to each other...
Phir next day, they declared their commitment to their families, through words and through actions... And finally, the sindoor, worn as a sign of belonging... To signify that they are each others, now and forever... ❤️❤️
So bhale hi conventional shaadi nahi hui... GV toh hua... And lifelong commitment bhi ho gayi...
