Both me and Mayank had never had any chance to be a invitee to any South Indian wedding. We obviously wanted to experience the magic of South Indian wedding. One of the seniors from our college, who was three years senior to us was getting married and Mayank was invited on the wedding. Mayank was on the modelling team of the college group in the first year and so he got in touch with this guy and he was a good model too. Mayank asked me if I wanted to join him and he was sure I would never disagree. He gave me hints that this was a real high profile wedding and so we needed to be dressed good. I got myself an expensive outfit for that uninvited wedding and Mayank also got dressed. We decided to get a bouquet as a present for the wedding but later we decided to save the money instead and invest in our thunderbird fuel. We reached palace grounds and it was a high security place for the wedding. I asked Mayank if he had got the wedding card with him. He replied with a smile that he was only invited on facebook. I was astonished and later commented him that he could have bought a printout of the conversation in which he was invited and he could get it attested from the groom; we broke out into laughter. We walked towards the reception hall with no gifts in our hand but only a helmet. We entered and there were variety of soft drinks and milk-shakes there. We grabbed a few glasses and quenched our thirst for the evening. We saw a long line and people standing just to wish the couple with their gifts and blessings. We thanked God we didn't get any gift. We roamed around the hall for a few minutes and smiled at the beautiful girls in their traditional outfits and sometimes smiled on the video recording cameraman. We sat for a while and made ourselves comfortable at the dining hall. We entered and there were chaat and dahi vada on the left hand side and different types of dosa's on the right hand side. We had a lot of dahi vada's. Then there was pizza and chow chow. I had a few pizza pieces while Mayank was busy with the chaat. Then there was the main course and which were filled with all mouth watering dishes. We took around half an hour to complete our course on the main course. We stood there for a while and also got relaxed for a while for the dessert. The dessert had around 11 types of sweets and faluda and raita and phirni and a lot more. I had all the 11 types of sweet two pieces each and three plates of faluda. I burped a few times after that. Mayank asked to take a look around if we had left any dish untouched. I saw every corner but there was nothing left to adventure more. Mayank asked me to search if there was any coffee. I found the coffee man near the exit. We even didn't leave the coffee. Then we were over and we decided to leave now. We were gifted a coconut each at the exit which was meant to be auspicious according to the Hindu tradition. After our grand meal we were unable to get on the bike. It was a real great experience. While it was time to leave, I came to know that the security was so tight because some of the MLA's of the state and an ex-Prime Minister Mr. H. D. Deve Gowda was coming for the wedding. Our eyes left open with surprise. We had an adventurous evening and seriously a great wedding. That made me feel that South Indian Wedding's are really great. To be frank weddings in any part of the country are great. Where the bride and groom sits silently and their friends dance the nagin dance and to the tunes of some best item songs. Indian weddings are the best place to adventure the taste of ethnic Indian dishes. Now-a-days even there has been the introduction of Italian, Chinese and Continental dishes on the wedding menu which has even made it more glorious. As for me, I have the habit of self inviting at the uninvited weddings. Indian Weddings are great.
good to know!
