Engagement...There was a power outage in the evening she had to get ready in light of a couple of candles and a small emergency light. She managed to do a wonderful job with the minimal resources.
Engagement was scheduled for 7pm. Since ours is a huge family, more than 150 people, we decided we would invite just the elders and one from each family still it turned out to be more than 40 people. The engagement was arranged in our hall which was too small for these many people but still everyone managed to squeeze in.
I was ready in few minutes and was roaming around, talking to everyone and making them comfortable. I wore a beige colour kurta-churidar pyjama. . It was around seven O' clock when she came in. She was looking beautiful. In her pinkish ( I know she will come up with some wierd sounding name for that colour) shalwar kameez and all silver jewellery.
The rasm started immediately because the whole place had to be changed for the nikah ceremony happening at 8:30. Without any delays, mom did her bits of the rasms. I was waiting for my turn to give her the engagement ring which i bought on my way to India from Bahrain. I wasnt sure which one to buy so I bought two. Mom asked her choice in the morning. It was a relief to know that she would like the ring as she picked it up herself from the two.
The saddest part is that the pics that were taken by a professional photographer were all messed up because of power issues :-(
