Set for a 'Bengali' reception with lots of mishti

The Gangulys don't flash a stiff family picture with the Mahajans at their daughter's wedding. In fact, unlike the wedding paraphernalia at all Bengali weddings, they don't have a velvet covered album of Dimpy Ganguly's marriage with Rahul Mahajan on a TRP-grabbing television show.

"We were requested not to take pictures of the wedding. Felt a little odd, but this is not an ordinary marriage," smiled Saibal Ganguly, an advocate at the Calcutta High Court and Dimpy's father.

That is probably why the Ganguly family is going all out to make the wedding reception, which will be held at a city five star hotel tomorrow, a grand affair. "We plan to dress Rahul like a typical Bengali groom. We hope he doesn't object on wearing a dhoti and a topor," says Ganguly.

Rahul can also expect to be treated to a grand Bengali meal. "Since he is vegetarian, the spread will be somewhat limited. But we will try and compensate with a lot of Bengali sweets. In fact, Rahul has made a special demand of mishti doi and sandesh," says Ganguly.
