I was pretty amazed that Mrinmayi took Rahul's name in the traditional Marathi way. That ritual of taking your husband's name i.e. Ukhane, is a marathi custom (where wife takes husband's name in a couplet) which is only performed once you are proclaimed husband and wife..i.e. after the "pheras"..This girl happily took his name in that manner even before he zeroed on her😕

Nahi, it is actually a tradition but a very cute one...Shaadi ke baad jab you have your first meal together, you are required to take your hubby's name for the first and last time. Of course, thats an age old tradition kyunki pehle ke zamane mein women never used to take hubby's name. Of course, we dont follow it literally in this generation😆 There are various couplets you can sing which have to be 2 sentences which should rhyme and should include the hubby;s name😳

Yea it's a tradition...ayee if i can only count the number of ukhanas i've had to take after my wedding...right after the pheras, then during the food, then at a pooja the next day, and a few other times, and they have to be all different poems, i had to memorize like 20 ukhanas for my wedding...😆....but it sure was fun...😳

no no not the last name, most girls just use both last names nowadays, here we are talking abt calling hubby by his name, i.e first name....like she used rahul's name in the poem...in old days women used to just say "Aho"...like "aji sunte ho"....so now women call their hubbies by his name everyday, but since in old days women never called him by his name, they could do so, in this custom...and they would blush, and do it poetically...😳

If I end up getting married to a marathi guy, I'll make sure he has a poetic name 😳
