But every girl has to leave her parents one or other day.

Okay i am more emotional now i am writing a letter to my parents thanking them for giving birth to me, and all my memories with them which will never ever fade in my life.

I finished writing the letter someone knocked on the door it was none other than my parents after seeing them i could not control my tears i hugged them tightly abd they hugged me tightly

I spent some time with my parents talking with them after that i slept hugging my parents because from tomorrow they wont be my side.

It is morning 3 o clock my mother waked me up i gave her a glare who said me

MOTHER : getup soon at 4 o clock you should do vratham pooja for your husband's long life and from 9.30 to 10.30 is the muhurtham.

I nodded my head a got ready in yellow colour pattu saree

I am dieing in nervous because i am getting married in 6 hours, i feel really nervous and excited.

After the vartham pooja i dont have much work now i am waiting for my groom to come after he comes their will be kasi yatrai ritual.

I saw my groom who is ready in panchakacham he is looking hot i smiled seeing him but he cant see me because i am hiding my father stopped him from going to kasi and told karthik that he will give my hands to karthik.

My father washed his legs but what karthik did next made me and my family shocked karthik washed my father's legs and said

KARTHIK : appa you are giving your daughter to me so i should only wash your legs i know its a ritual that you should wash my legs i want to do a new ritual i want wash your and amma legs.

He said tears started rolling down from my eyes seeing his love and respect for my parents, no groom did like this i am really feeling proud to say him as my husband.

My parents hugged him with a happy smile i can see my parents eyes who are really happy and proud for selecting karthik.

I smiled and father gave my hands in karthik hands and blessed us.

My mom took me to room and asked me to change my saree for oonjal ritual

I wore a pink colour pattu saree with matching gold ornaments.

My mom and my mother - in - law made me sit in a decorated oonjal and karthik sat beside me

They washed our legs with milk and waved some rice ball to ward of evils. They gave us milk and banana to eat.

I hate both milk and banana but i cant refuse here but karthik saw me and understood so he slowly took the glass from me and drank without anyone's notice.

I smiled looking at him he gave me a flying kiss after that me and karthik played in oonjal and we took so many pictures.

Now groom should go to the stage near the agni and perfom some ritual groom should chant some mantra.

I thought i am free now i can tease karthik but my mother came and said that i have to change into muhurtham saree.

So i went and changed into red pattu saree with matching gold ornaments

I got ready they took me to the stage and made ne sit beside karthik before the agni and the priest asked us to chant sone mantra, the mantra which we chant is that we promise before the agni that we will never leave each other, in all the circumstances we will be together, whatever happens we will never separate.

After we chanted they made me sit on my father lap as per the ritual the bride should sit on her fathers lap and my mother did kanya daanam after that they gave nine yards saree to change so i got ready in green nine yards with Violet border.

( Priya nineyards and karthik panchakacham )

I got ready with necessary ornaments, the priest called me.

I am really nervous because in few minutes my life is going to change fully.

I was brought to the stage my father was sitting in chair i again went and sat on his laps karthik was standing before me and the priest was standing beside karthik and was saying some mantra the priest gave the "thali" to karthik and karthik tied thali in my neck when we heard the ‘nadaswaram’ and ‘ketti melam’ and showering of ‘akshadhai’ (rice smeared in turmeric) and flower petals by family members and friends, who blessing us. Karthik tied one knot and shreya tied the other two knots as per the ritual tears are rolling down from my eyes as well as from my parents eyes.

I got married finally i feel something different i feel more shy.

Now everyone congratulated us and we took blessing from everyone.

Now we are ready for the other ritual sapta - padhi

Karthik tied a darbha grass on my hips for our heathly relationship.

Karthik took my right foot in his hands and took seven steps for our well being and happy life.

After that karthik took me near the stone ( ammi kal ) and took my right leg and placed it on the stone and put the toe ring in my toe finger.

Again we sat begore the agni and started doning our rituals.

After all the ritual ended my mother and mother - in - law asked me to change into saree.

I changed they asked me and karthik to have lunch thank god now i can eat bevause from morning i did not eat anything.

We went and sat even karthik changed into white veshti and shirt.

They served us kalyanam sapadu

They asked us to feed each other so fed each other i dont know why i am feeling shy today, i dont even wont to face karthik today.

After having lunch they said that their is one more ritual nalangu

Oh my god my favourite ritual yes in the groom and bride will play with each other.

I am really excited to play the first game is the bride and groom should find the ring who finfs the ring will dominate other.

I was sitting opposite to karthik and his teammates were supporting him yeah now only i am noticing his teammates who all are in dhoti and shirt i smiled seeing them they were really looking funny but now i concentrated on the game.

My mother placed a big blow which was filled of milk and she put the ring inside i immediately started searching the ring and atlast i found it but karthik also found it i am trying to take it from his hands but he is not leaving it i pinched his hands but also he id not leaving it so we both took our hands out and we both were holding the ring and i said

PRIYA : i was the one who found it first but karthik is cheating.

KARTHIK : what i was first holding it you are a cheater not me.

PRIYA : no you i thought i will win

KARTHIK : if you win or lose you are only dominating in everything mainly in.......

He stopped and touched his lips with his tumbs i hided my blush thank god no one heard his last sentence if anyone would have heard it seriously it will become a big problem.

Now second game the bride and the groom will throw rice on each other.

This game will be more fun they made sit opposite only but closer to each other my mother - in - law placed a bucket full of rice i smirked at karthik and took the bucket and poured it on him fully everyone their were first shocked but then started laughing where as karthik came out from the shock and took some rice from him and poured it on me making me giggle

Now the third game is appalam ritual in this the bride and the groom break the appalam on each other head

First time when i came near him to break on his head he moved his head smirking at me but the next time i won but i am really a good girl so both the time i showed him my head and asked him to break it.

After that they gave me a comb and asked me to do any hairstyle to karthik but i always like his hairstyle so i did not do anything and they gave karthik the comb and asked karthik to comb my hair but karthik denied saying

KARTHIK : she look beautiful in this hairstyle so i wont change it.

I smiled and they asked me to sing a song for karthik.

I always wanted to sing this song for him so i sang this song

Yaaro ivan from udhyam NH 4

Who is this man who is this man

Is he the root of my flowers?

He won my femininity… he is loving

One who is melted in your love

One who is frost at your eyesight

One who is the shadow of your feet

He is the rain in my summer

He is the sunshine in my monsoon

He knows my needs when he looks into my eyes

Where do you want me to take you?

Slowly Whisper in my ears

My femininity to take eternal rest

Little space on your chest is enough

Slowly two hearts becoming one

Your hand fingers search for mine

Who is this man who is this man

Is he the root of my flowers?

He won my femininity… he is loving

When your breath touches me

Why my shyness losing?

When your fragrance strike me

Why my thinking changes?

One leaf falls into the river

Will it reach the river bank, will it join your hands in future

He is born only for me

He will come to protect me

He won my femininity… he is loving

He is the rain in my summer

He is the sunshine in my Monsoon

He knows my needs when he looks into my eyes.

I finished and everyone appreciated me saying that i sand well i blushed looking at karthik who gave me a flying kiss.

Now its karthik turn i am waiting for his song

Oh my god he is singing my favorite song its my dream that my husband should sing this song for me but i did not expect that karthik will sing this

Ennavalae adi ennavalae from kadhalan

Dear girl, hey dear girl, I’ve lost my heart.

Where did I lose it? It’s a lost place, and I’ve forgotten that place too.

I thought it might be lost in your anklets so I came following your foot steps.

As soon as I saw you I realised what a huge trouble love is,

Today, love has filled me up to my neck, and I stand with my eyes open in astonishment.

Dear girl, hey dear girl, I’ve lost my heart.

Spoken language and my Mother tongue are unusable.

There seems to be a shapeless lump rolling between my stomach and my throat.

If I wait, if I anticipate and expect, a single minute becomes a year.

I feel unsettled as though all eyes are watching me.

Is this (feeling) heaven? or hell? Tell me honestly.

Whether I live or die is in your words.

Dear girl, hey dear girl, I’ve lost my heart.

Hey cuckoo, if you give voice (sing), I will worship and then wink at you.

Hey Gopuram*2, I will lean you over and catch fish with your hair.

Hey moon, to make you sleep I will massage your fingers.

I will filter even the most fragrant flower like breeze and send it over to you.
