Vidya made an pretty bride.
Sunil always wanted to get wed in a mantap which looked exactly like this. And his dreams was just an hour away to be transformed into reality.

It was around 7 pm in the evening at the gates of The Bangalore International hotel where The Sengupta’s were heartily welcomed by the Karthikas’s family for the “Bor Boron” where the mother of the bride along with other members come out to welcome the groom and his family 
Introducing you to our fun filled groom Abhinav 🙂
While Abhinav was welcomed with his family!! Karthika adorned herself with the beautiful Red banarasi saree and looked like a Bengali bridal doll. 
Potto Bastra – After the groom is seated at the chadnatolla (wedding altar and canopy) Abhinav was offered new clothes by Karthika’s Father to do the sampradaan – a kind of gift to the boy from the girl’s side. 
While Abhinav performed the rituals Karthika had her little fun time meeting her friends and family. They re- lived the moment where a very good friend of karthika met her first and approached her asking hey!!are u an actress!! SO this is how exactly our doll like bride responded.
Saat Paak – The bride, usually seated on a low wooden stool called pidi is lifted by her brothers and is taken round the groom in seven complete circles. The significance is they are winded up securely to each other 
Mala Badal – After the circles are completed, still sitting high on the pidi, Karthika and Abhinav exchanged garlands of fragrant flowers thrice. This is the first step in which they accept each other. 
Now you know why we call Abhinav a fun filled groom!! The barfi!! moment 🙂 
Indeed the Mala badal was a perfect papparazzi moment for the couple!!
Subho Dristi – After garlanding one another the bride and the groom are made to look at each other in front of all the assembled invitees. This exchange of loving glance is to initiate them to be together officially by the society. 
Sampradan – Karthika took her place on the chadnatolla where an elderly male member of the her family handed her over to the groom and the couple’s hands are bound by the sacred thread amidst recital of Vedic chants and were placed on the mangal ghot – a brass pitcher filled with water that is covered with mango leaves attached to one twig and a green coconut placed on it. 
Yagna – The bride and groom sit in front of the sacred fire and chant mantras after the priest. Agni, the fire god is made the divine witness to the marriage. Anjali – An offering to the fire is made. The bride’s brother puts puffed rice (khoi) in the hands of the bride, and the groom standing close to her holds her hands from the back and extends their arms forward. They then pour the offering into the fire together.
Saat Paak – Seven circular rounds are taken by the couple around the fire thereby solemnizing the occasion. The blowing of the conch shell and ululation prevailed while they performed the rituals. 
It was time to take vows !! and check out how carefully Karthika listens to the priest while he explained how to treat each other and respect, I know she didnt want to miss any point which signified Abhinav’s responsibility 😉 What sayeth you bride?? 
Bidaay – A mixed moment of joy and sorrow as Karthika bid adieu with blessings of her parents and relatives to start a new life with her beau. 
A special moment, Karthika and Abhinav with the god mother of both families who has witnessed their parents wedding, their childhood and now even their wedding. 
The bride and groom were welcomed home with ululation and prodeep.
Karthika immersed her foot in the alta and entered the house marking her ceremony of grihapravesh. 
Here is picture beholding the elements of a beautiful bengali wedding 
Ashirbaad – On an auspicious day the elders of the groom’s side go to bless the bride and vice versa, by sprinkling husked rice and trefoil on their heads and giving them gold ornaments. It is a kind of acceptance of the boy and the girl on both sides. 
Happiness was in the air as they continued to perform fun-filled games. 
A wedding is incomplete without friends!! Here is a picture with their besties. These pictures are shouting alound BETA MAN MEIN LADOOO PHOOTA!! 😉 😉 
Ending this post with our favorite picture. A new addition to the family, A new beginning. 
We had a whale of time being a part of your special day 🙂 and freezing the moments of joy, Thank you Karthika and Abhinav for choosing melanged. Wishing you both a sweetest life ahead.
Gayathri feeling Wow!!! after looking at herself in the mirror as a bride 🙂 Every girl dreams to look the best on her wedding day and no doubt Gayathri felt the same too and she lived up to it 🙂 .
The mantap was set centrally and the hall echoed with laughter and joyous talks of the gathering to see “Vikas and Gayathri”
Vikas started his kasi yatra ritual and you can see tremendous amount of energy and expressions through out the “kasi yatra” and with what finesse Vikas got convinced to take Gayathri’s hand. (I would say eager ;))
The million dollar smile where the story all began …
Returning from “Kasi Yatra” Vikas was received with pomp and glory.
The antarpata was held and Vikas was just too tall for the antarpata or just knew his way to see the beautiful bride Gayathri take her spot in front of him.
Gayathri made a grand entry carried by her brothers rounding around the hall and reached the mantap.
The Varmala and Jeerige Bella ritual just love the back light and the sweet shying away smile on Gayathri’s cheek. 
Vikas the prankster seemed to have played mind games and discussed how hes going to win the moment.
Checkout the couple trying to sneak peak to get their chance of victory and fun.
And within no moment the curtain fell down and Vikas tied the Mangalya to Gayathri with torrentz of yellow rice wishing them all the happiness and success.
Hitched we are !!
The happy couple looking for stars writing their names with the spotting game.
The “Akki Dhare” Ritual 
Vikas definitely had to bend it like Beckham 😉
A picture speaks a thousand words, I would like you guys to write away all that you see, Girls beware, Now you know how guys run away 😉
Vikas and his gang with heir favorite pose. 
Raghu also had his brother Rajath over skype making his presence by helping his brother groom right.
Every bride has her perfect person, her brides maid for the special day of her life and Reshu (Reshma) 🙂 Shushma’s crime partner and little sister from childhood was the best ever brides maid and ensured that she was with her darling sister in every moment of her happiness
When the sister duo were getting ready, Sushanth also suited in a well fitted grey blazer and accented his attire with the touch of purple by his tie.
Purple seemed to be the king color of the evening, Purple orchids, white carnations and in sync were the bride and the groom too, I Call it the perfect “Cadbury moment” Shubh arambh!! 
The next day morning “The Mantap” stood amidst the white drapes and symbolized purity and sanctity, the set looked simple and elegant. 
Sushanth was welcomed back from the “Kasi yatra” to take Shushma’s hand with pride and dignity.
Shushma was brought to the stage accompanied by her mother and relatives.
The auspicious time of “Mangalya Dharana” had arrived and Shushanth tied the three knots of Trust, Love and Companionship for the rest of their lives. Sushanth and Shushma were in their moment of truth and bundle of joy and happiness. Sushanth kissed on Shushma’s forehead during the Mangalya Dharana reassuring her that you are my princess and there is no fear from here.
The finding the ring ritual, A very famous fun ritual played during the Indian wedding ceremony.A ring is put inside the bowl filled with milk and rose petals, The bride and the groom are asked to find the ring dropped in this bowl and who ever finds the ring first is the winner, And Shushma definitely won over Sushanth, check out the laugh aloud “Yaay I won”.
Women power!! The gorgeous ladies and little princesses of Sushanth’s family smiled away with happiness seeing Shushma win and welcomed her into their family or should I say the girl gang 🙂 Wat say ladies 🙂
Time to show “Arundhathi Nakshatra” but this time Shush and Sush werent alone.. Wondering why??
A wedding is incomplete without family and friends, Now you definitely know why “Shush and Sush” werent alone to see the “Arundhathi nakshatra”
Every students foot goes of the ground jumping high up in the air on their graduation day, Here Sushanth lifted Shushma keeping upto his promises, Queen of his heart <3 And wOwwie we certify “JUST MARRIED”.
We had a whale of time capturing you guys, Keep the fun element and loads of love soaring high and higher up 🙂
