Went to Achin's wedding last weekend, It was in Atlanta. Nicely organized ceremony. Among other things, the highlight was meeting Amit, my cousin. During ladies sangeet, we were finding it difficult to find sangeet songs. But Amit came with some awesome Punjabi boliyan.
The best was this punjabi song - billo ji. I have found a youtube video but even it does not do any justice to the way he sang it
The Hawan was done in an innovative style - Panditji was explaining the meaning of those sanskrit mantras in english so that others can follow what is happening during the ceremony. This was much appreciated by everyone.
Also learnt another cards game...... woh shaadi hi kya jismein patte na khele gaye hon :)
But like the last time, and like every other wedding, the best part was the thass that follows after the ceremonies. The never ending thass where we discuss anything and everything and all with good spirit. Another event that we will never forget is the dance of Pant Auntie. Her unique style of dance which was basically dance without emotions,, dance with a straight face was immensely discussed and laughed. But seriously, she must be 55+ and the way she was dancing was amazing, hats off to her. But what followed her dance was people trying to imitate her, people trying to visualize her...awesome!
