Mumbai - Day 4

The wedding festivities now in full swing. There was plenty in store to watch and learn. There was the Bhaat in which the uncles (mamoos) are officially invited to the wedding by the groom's mother and in return they felicitate the groom and his mother. There is lots of laughter and joy as there is a lot of mithai to be served and little gifts exchanged.

Before the Baraat leaves there are other smaller ceremonies and its all good fun. Then we have the official ring ceremony and after that the dancing begins. There are just 6-7 co-ordinated dances and then the dholwala takes over and we had some good ol fashioned bhangra for a while before the DJ starts playing latest songs which everyone danced to. All the while, there were lots of things to eat, prawns, chicken teriyaki, veggie patties, rolls etc an open bar and also a table from where to get Bhelpur, dahi bhallas and channa chaat. Lots of drinking later, the dancing continued, dinner was served which was scrumptious but i was too busy elsewhere =) which i would regret immensely later.

and so does everyone else

Since the sangeet began at around 6 by 1-2 am the event is well over and like most people i was done for the evening and retired to my hotel room. Those with some energy left over head off to the bars, Gaurav and Vivek, who had come from Dubai right after the event went clubbing till 5 am and had some real good fun. While some of Richa's blonde brazillian friends =D ended up gatecrashing a Salman Khan party where Katrina Kaif was there. What a day!
