nichyathartham ( formal engagement right before wedding)
many folks do the reception then
the day of the wedding:
kasi yathirai for groom where he says i dont want to get married 😆
oonjal for the 2
malai exchange - the groom exchange garlands with folks lifting them
then a bunch of havans etc
,put taali - mangalsutra
then put metti(toe ring)
then there is girls brother putting rice flakes along with the bride and groom
then u give gifts to sister in laws
then u do namaskarams to every adult there and trust me ur back hurts 😆
then finally u get to eat with everyone watching and you are to feed each other
then nalangu at 5sh
my reception was previous day
some folks have reception on the day of the wedding
and then finally shanthi muhurtam
