Author's Note :

Hi darlings...

Now that we started with the marriage sequence in our PMN, i would like to share few things on the same...

Firstly sorry if it reminds of ENV marriage because coincidences might happen how much ever i try... Sorry if its so...

Secondly, the customs i follow in this story do not comply to any particular caste...

This is just a imaginary one with things i read, things happened to me and things i wish could be a part of marriage...

So bear with that...

Last but not least , special thanks and love to my sweet darlings who come up with beautiful edits on their own for our PMN and also help me with edits that i ask for...

Im glad to have such sweeties around me...

Thank you sweeties...

And special thanks for all readers for your unlimited support and love... ❤❤❤❤❤

So what else... lets start our marriage bash 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

--------------------------------------------

It was the sundown of the day...

The setting sun has started spreading its rays over the sky giving a brilliant red and orange hue all over....

Slight cool breeze and chirping of birds back to their nests made the evening charming...

The marriage hall was bustling with high spirits for the nearing ceremony...

The close ones were moving around making necessary arrangements, receiving first set of guests, sharing pleasantries and in turn waiting for the ceremony to commence...

There had been voices all around the place that hit right into the the ears of the bride and groom from the place they were...

"Mapillai azhaippu ku neram achu..."

"Mapillai nalla irukaaru illaa..."

"Mapillai yerkanave mandapathuku  vanthachaam..."

"Mapillai mullai ah padikka vekkararam..."

"Mapillai veedu periya kootu kudumbamam..."

"Mapillai azhaippu inga pakathula kovil la irunthu than..."

"Mapillai sontha tholil thanaam..."

"Mapillai sontham nu than solranga... yetha kadhal ah yena nu theriyala..."

Each and everything was about the MAPILLAI as all the eyes were on him who came out with decked up for the mapilai azhaipu...

He was dressed up in a silk dhoti and yellowish orange color silk shirt with his signature streak of thiruneer and minutest accessories that could hardly be noticed...

His elegant attire, the smile obscured inside his stubble, glint in the orbs and the gallant gait was so appealing to watch...

The atmosphere was so beautiful with all lads including kids dressed up in same attire as planned and executed previously...

Off course though they were dressed up in matching outfits, kathir stood out undoubtedly...

Je : yena mapilla... ready than eh... polama...

K : polam mama...

Ka : mama neengalavathu intha loose velai yethuku nu solunga...

J : dei ne chumma iruka matte...

Je : ada iru jeeva... sollu da kanna.. yena theriyanum unaku...

Ka : apadi kelunga... namma veetula yellarum vanthachu... anni veetula yellarum vanthachu... ipo yethuku thevai illaa inga irunthu kelambi kovil ku poi anga avanga vanthu nammala kupitutu varanum... athuku yellarum ingaye irunthudalame... time save agume...

Je : dei athelam antha kaalathula iruntha palakkam...appo yellam ponnu, mapillai vera vera oorula irupanga...  kalyanam ponnu veetula nadakum... ponnu veedu theriyaathu nu pothuva oru kovil ku vara soli ponnu veetukaranga mapillai ah, mapillai veetukarangala vanthu kupitutu povanga...

athum ithu than mapillai nu avanga oor aalungaluku yellam kamikkara madhiri mapillai ah vandi la methuva vara soluvanga... ipo than yellam maariduchu... mandapathula kalyanam... apadi ipadi nu... aanalum oru sastharathuku ipadi panranga...

Ka : hmm ipadi detailed ah sona nalla iruku ilaa... atha vitutu kekaravana nakkal panitu...

Raj : dei kanna... yenava iruntha yena da... namaku paata potu oru dance ah potu enjoy pana chance kedachuthu nu santhoshapaduviya... araaichi panikitu...

Sen : apadi sollu da... vaanga namma atatha arambipom...

Sur : athe than...

Je : dei pothum pothum vaanga povom... vaa da mapillaa...

Jega called up kathir who was listening to everything happening around with a smile and moved out followed by others...

His eyes reached for the bride's room's closed door and he proceeded with a sigh...

The entire kathir's family left to the nearby pilaiyar temple leaving some elders alone in the mandapam and before them there were  the whole of mullai's family except few welcoming groom's family...

Mu : vaanga mapilla... vaanga vaanga... yellarum vaanga...

San : aama aama vaanga mapilla...

Sankar gestured to bow his hands at kathir with a playful smile which was stroked by kathir with a happy disapproval...

K (blushing) : yen ne...

San (laughing) : chumma da..

Sankar hugged kathir, patted his back and lead his way to temple shrine so did dheena...

They had a special pooja organised for the day in the name of kathir and mullai...

Once the pooja was over, the tradition of father in law rendering his gift and inviting him to mandapam started...

Dh mom : muruga... neram achu... sadanga arambi...

Mu : tho ka...

Murugan festooned a garland on kathir with a wide smile along with a bracelet, a watch and a ring as his gift...

He had carefully avoided buying a chain as he knew it was kathir's wish always to wear only the ruthraaksh chain of his father...

He compensated it with getting other things and knowing this already from mullai, kathir grew a little emotional...

Suddenly he felt as the the days of being fatherless got replaced with love of father in law...

His eyes welled up a little noticed by murugan...

He side hugged kathir for a second and uttered happilly..

Mu : nalla irunga mapilla...

His voice broke while saying this and he was no less emotional than kathir for his own reasons...

His heart welled seeing the handsome hunk infront of him who will be his son in law in a day's time...

Not just appearances, his love and care for his daughter, respect for them are already well known...

His eyes and heart beamed up with pride for his daughter thinking about his son in law...

K : mama...

Kathir hugged him back and called with a emphasis...

After a brief father(in law) and son (in law) moment, the atmosphere grabbed his enthusiasm again...

The groom's family were invited to the mandapam individually by all bride's family...

They started to the mandapam walking...

The sun has started setting owing to the winter season...

And...

Kathir was made to get into a decorated open wedding car...

K  : anne... ithelam nallava iruku... sema comedy ah iruku... (throwing a shy look at the car)

J : adei... kalyana mapillai ku sila vishayangal special ah irukanum da.. athula ithu onnu... yeru...

K : illa ne...

Kathir rubbed his back neck in embarassment seeing everyone waiting for him to hop in...

D : dei manatha vaangatha... ponnu veetula yena nenaipanga.. mudhala yeru...

Me : athan eh ithukelama vekkam... yena kathir neenga...

Dh : yena achu kathiru...

Ka : onum illa ne.. kathir annanuku kalyanam pidikalaiyaam... vandila yeraatham...

K : dei...

San : apadiya kathiru.... podara phone ah mullai ku...

Man : tho suji ku call panren.. ava mullai kuda than irukaa...

K : aiyo anni... na yerikaren... potu kuduthudathenga...

San : antha bayam irukanum enga ponnu mela....

Kar : irunthu than eh aganum... anne... inga video eduthutu irukame... anupava...

K : athu veraya... thayavu senju avaluku  yera matten nu sonatha kamichudathenga...

Chorus : ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Man : kathir... nalla tune agitenga ponga...

Me : avaru tune yellam agalainga... paithiyame agitaaru... ungaluku theriyaatha...

Sru : mama vanthu athai mela...

K : papa pothum da... atha ne soli soli yelarukum manapaadame agiduchu... inime ne solave venam...

Sru : illa mama... unaku support panren...

K : pana varaikum pothum papa.. vaa povom...

With a wave of laughter, kathir got into the car with all kids on it and it started moving slowly with the beats of peppy music for the function cheer...

The elders started walking in the front along carrying the decorated plates while youngsters rocked the road with their dance...

They were lead by the members of the music crew with music instruments and also the photographer and videographers...

Kids who were on the car for sometime jumped to the road to show their share of dance...

The gang took pictures, selfies and videos all the way cavorting around the car with electrified choruses...

Kathir who was initially embarassed with the custom started enjoying it the next moment he got into the car...

He took pride in being the center of attention, rejoiced over the time and awaited the moment to meet his girl...

Swar : anne.. chumma ukanthutu iruntha yepadi...

K : paathutu than ma varen...

Kar : paakaratha... neenga yena dance competition judge ah... aadunga ne...

San : ithu super uh... aadu da...

K : anne neengaluma...

Je : ada aadu mapilla...

Chorus : annneeeeeeeeee.... superrrrrrrrr...

K : ada chumma irunga mama... neenga vera...

Dh : ada aadunga kathir... nalla irukum...

San : aama aadu da...

The whole crew pestered him to dance so did the elders...

Kas mom : chumma aadunga thambi... unga kalyanathula neenga aadama yepadi...

San : naalaiki mullai pechuku aada venama... ipave aadi palagiko....

Chorus : hooooooooooooooooo...

J : ithu vasthavam aadu aadu...

Me : nee pesama aadu.. unna ketangala...

J : right uh...

De : anne... mullai ku neenga aadi paakanum nu aasai ah irukum illa... paavam ava anga thaniya ukanthutu iruka... avalukaga aadunga...

Ta : aama ne... ava irunthuruntha kandipa aada solirupa...

Kar : paathu rasichupa...

Chorus : aammmmmmmaaaaaaaaaa...

Gaya : emotion ah pizhiyareenga de...

Kas : kathir thambi aadunga.. athan yellarum kekarame...

Kathir,after a few times of refusal, danced standing in the car raising everyone's spirits...

There were huge claps even from the elders and the dancing continued all the way....

With all the fun and frolic, they reached the mandapam...

Gayathri and kasthuri took harathi for kathir inturn bringing the groom's family into the mandapam...

Kas : mapilla... nalla periya notta thatttula potutu ullaa ponga...

Ka : intha thatta ipadi ipadi sutharathuku kaasa... therinjuruntha na suthirupene...

J : adei chumma iru da  comedy panikitu...

As kathir presented them with money, the gala started again with asking for more money and not allowing inside...

Man : kathir... unga mulla poo ah paaka entry ticket ithu... periya amount ah podunga... illaana ponna kannula kuda kaamika mattom...

Sen : ipadi sonengana appuram avan motha sothaiyum eluthi vechuduvan... neenga vera...

Chorus : ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Kas : apadi eluthi vecha enaku than vekkanum... na than intha kalyanathu mudhal karanam... yena kathir thambi sari than eh...

Kathir nodded with a smile which was not accepted by kasthuri...

Kas : ada sathama solunga thambi...

K : sari than nga....

Chorus : ohhhhhhhhhhhh...

This time the chorus was from kathir's family...

Mo : parra... kathirum kasthuriyum onnu senthutanga...

Kas : kannu vekkathenga ne...

Ka : ithu verayaa...

Man : sari pesi pesi time waste panathenga... kathir kaasa podunga...

Finally after some more banters, they left kathir inside the mandapam with all the faces shining bright with hearty smiles...

P : manju... neram achu... mullai ready ah nu paaru...

Man : sari chithi...

Kum : aama ponna vara solunga... paapom...

Hearing his loud laugh, the girls left to mullai's room giggling and all others got seated awaiting mullai and receiving some early bird guests...

Ka : aama mama... ipo yethuku ponnu paakara madhiri ponnu vara solunga nu solranga...

Je : ponnu than paaka porom...

Ka : yethu... ponnu paakaroma...

Raj : nee yena da noi noi nu yellathukum kelvi kekare...

Ka : therinjukanum illaa ne.. naalaiki yenaku kalyanam na theriyanum illaa... sankar anne vera enaku ponnu iruku nu solirukaaru... yena ne....

San : unnaku illaatha ponna da kanna...

Ka : apadi solunga ne...

J : yetha solida poren... pesaaama irunthudu...

Ka : poraaamai unaku ithelam nadakalainu...

K : chumma than iren da.. yetha pesikitu...

Je : vidu mapila.. therinjukanum nu than eh kekaran...

Onum illa da kanna... antha kaalathula ithu than mapilla ponnu first paakaratha irunthuchu... athan mapillai ponnu veetuku vanthathum mapillai ku ponna kaamipanga... avalo than... ippo athe formality than... kuda namma ponnu ku seer kudupom...

Ka : oh ho... paarunga yethana vishayam iruku... itha ketu therinjukarathu thappa... yen ne unaku theriyuma ithu...

K mindvoice : yarukum theriyum avala kannula kaamicha pothum... yethuku kaamicha yena...

Sen : avan paatha mattum pothum irukan da... yethukaganalum avanuku prachanai illaa...

K mindvoice : namma mindvoice romba veliya kekkuthu polaiye... kathiru... control...

Pushing these fun talks aside, Mullai came to the place graciously with a blushing smile throwing a quick look on kathir...

She was not yet ready for the eve as she was awaiting the seer from kathir's family...
So she was dressed up in a simple silk saree with minimal jewels...
But that doesnt made her look low...
She was drop dead gorgeous as always...

Kas mom : mapilla ponna nalla paathukonga... appuram athu korai ithu korai nu yellam sola kudathu...

Chorus : ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Kathir looked at mullai engrossed in her completely...

K mindvoice : korai ah... yellame athigam than...

Suj mom : mulla... mapilla ah paathu kumbituko...

Swar : anna kaala yellam vizha venaama...

That shocked kathir and mullai at the sametime...

K : aiyo athelam venam... kumbidarathu kuda venam...

Sel : dei kedaikum bothu anubhavichukanum... kalla vizha venam... kumdibu mulla... nalla irukum... anne photo eduthukonga...

Swar : aiyo appo kalla vizha venama...

Suj : athelam ne vizhu de... senthil itha niyabagam vechukonga...

Sen : kandipa anni...

Dh mom : ada pesikite irukenga... mulla... mapilla ah vara soli sollu...

Ka : athan... anne vanthuduche...

Me : dei...

Ka : right uh...

Come on mullai anni... welcome ur husband...

Chorus : ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Mullai bowed her hands looking at kathir and muttered...

M : vaanga...

Kathir nodded his head in a daze with a blushing smile...

Sur : kathiru... vazhiyaathe...

The loud voice of surya choked everyone with laughter...

L : dhanam... seer ah eduthu mullai ku kudu...

D : sari atha...

Dhanam gave the sarees , jewels, flowers and other auspicious things as seer for mullai who in turn got blessings from lakshmi before getting it...

Sel : sikiram ready aagi vaa mulla... neram agidum...

M : sair athachi...

San : aama aama romba neram wait pana mudiyaathu... yena da kathiru...

Ka : aama anne paithiyam agidum...

Sru : mama athai mela than....

Before she completed the sentence, there was a roar of laughter again making mullai and kathir crimson...

D : sari mulla.. sikiram... kelambunga...

Mullai took a leave from the place with a side look at kathir and the preparations started again in full swing making the stage ready for next to be done...

It was just the first and second circle relations till that time and all other guests started dropping by one by one...

It was seven...

They still had half hour for the next ritual...

Kathir had a fresh up time already, finished his solo photo shoot and came back to the hall chatting with friends, receiving people and an eye for mullai's arrival...

But then there was a call from photographer who had already finished the solo shoot of mullai and wanted couple shots...

So he asked him to accompany to Bride's room..

And to his huge surprise, Mullai's family was taken care by sankar and dheena...

They agreed to it as they didnt want it to happen on stage with audience around but yes they wanted pictures too...

Kathir happily rushed to the bride's room along with his friends...

A knock on the door...

Karthi opened the door letting them in while photographer and videographer were busy with setting the place...

Mullai who was yet to finish her last minute make over, looked through the mirror just to see kathir standing stupefied...

The admiration was mutual this time...
Neither she did moved her eyes nor did he...
As always, She never failed to astonish him with her beauty nor he with his hunkiness...
She continued to get ready looking at him through mirror while he entered the room doing the same...

Mullai was decked up in a pretty candy pink saree along with intricately designed antique jewels...
She had teamed up her saree with a heavy worked blouse in a contrasting yellowish orange color to match his shirt as he decided to stay in same shirt for the rest of the occasion..
The hand which was full of bangles along with the mehandhi on it and heavy jhumkas which dangled over with clinging sound when she worked on her final touch was too appealing to watch...
The makeover and hair do was on point...
Nothing overdone or underdone...

They took enough time to drink eachother through the mirror and was dragged from heaven to reality by a chorus....

Chorus : anneeeeeeeee..

K : haan... yenama...

Swar : yenava.. antha photographer anne ungala yevalo nerama kupidararu... neenga ipadi avalaiye paathutu irukenga...

Kar : paaka mattum than eh mudiyum... illane...

K : ada neenga vera...

Solunga ne...

Pho : onum illa thambi... arambikalaama nu ketten...

He twisted his eyebrows at mullai who turned and nodded acknowledgingly...

K : arambikalam ne...

Pho : sari pa... vanthu nilunga...

As they stood in front of the camera,

K : Oi...

M : hmmmm...

K: yenga de ozhichu vechuruka...

M(confused) : yetha...

K : ithana azhaga than... athena oru oru thadavai pakum bothu konjam konjama athigam aaguthu... azhagi...

M : aiyada... romba than... neenga mattum yenavaam... naaluku naal gamberam athigam agite poguthu ungakita..

K : apadiya...

M : apadi than...

K : intha azhagi ku poruthama irukanum illaa... athan pola...

M :  vazhi...

Chorus : vazhiyuthuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....

Kathir and mullai startled with the word they said...

M : ivangaluku yepadi theriyum...

K : athu ooruke theriyum... nee vera...

Sur : dei... antha anne ini paaiya virichu paduthuruvaaru... poi photo kum, video kum pose kudunga da...

K : ungala appuram paathukaren...

Oi vaa polam...

M : hmmm...

They spent some good quality time capturing the memories of the day...

The friends gang had a list of poses and did the photographer...

What ever the pose was, they showed their best...

Nothing was a pose there...

It was the gushing love freezed through the camera lens...

It was a treat to watch them through the lens and also in person....

Once photographer was done with all poses and videographer with all his requirements, mullai had few set of poses in her wishlist in addition...

M : yenga na sonen illaa... athu...

K : hmmm... niyabagam iruku...

anne... nichayathapo yedutha pose thirumba edukanum...

Pho : yeduthudalam thambi... yena pose.. lighting athuku yetha madhiri set panren...

M : oru nimisham na...

Mullai took her mobile and showed him the pictures from engagement album...

Pho : sari ma... vaanga...

Another set of poses done with teasings from their gang...

Raj : yen da dei... oru selfie edukalam nu sonna athana niyayam pesuve... Ipo paaru recreation level ku poita...

Sur : yen da avalo than eh... vera yetha iruka... movie song recreate pana porengala...

De : apadi yetha na ipove solidunga... nanga kelambarom... intha collaborations pathu singles engaluku manasu valikithu...

Swar : aama avalo valikithu... aanalum ivanga vera level than...

Chorus : hooooooooooooooooooo...

Chorus : yennaaaaaathu.....

M : aamanga... appo irunthathu love elam ilaa... athu vera... ipo irukarathu than love...

Chorus : oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Pho :  athu konjam close ah vera yedathula yedutha nalla irukum thambi...

Kathir glanced at mullai with a naughty smile while the gang screamed again...

Chorus : yethu...

Sur : yen da nalaiki ne mullai ah than eh kalyanam panika pore...

K(naughtily) : ipo varai apadi than plan...

Kar : romba over than de un veedu... vita thali ah kuda oru km thoorathula irunthu kata soluvanga pola...

Sen : oru kuchi la matti kaluthula poda soluvangalo...

K : sari vidunga... anne.. yeduthukalam ne... function mudiyatum... na avanga kita pesaren... unaku ok than eh...

M : hmmm...

Pho : sari thambi nanga stage ku porom... neenga vaanga..

As the photographer and videographer left along with his assistants, the friends moved aside giving them some space...

K : oi...

M : hmmm...

K : yena madam face oru madhiri iruku...

M : oru madhiriyum illaa...

K :  Oru madhiri na kovama iruku nu sonen... vera madhiri illaa...

M (twisting  lips) : athu onnu than korachal...

K : yena madam achu... ipadi elam udhada pana na yena panrathu...

M : hmmmkmmm... yena acha...  ipo varai enna kalyanam panikara madhiri plan iruku sir ku... appuram plan maaralaam... apadi than eh...

K (with a chuckle) : aama inum 12 hours iruke.. manasu maaralaam illaa...

M (frowning) : ippo kuda ipadi tha pechu... ungala yellam...

She started punching him with irritation just to be arrested in his arms and nuzzled his nose with hers...

K : sari sari... adikaathe... unaku than valikum...

Intha panju mittai eh... sorry sorry panju mootai eh pothum.. ok ah...

She looked at him angrily for sometime but couldnt control the smile for long seeing  his naughtiness and broke into a mild laughter...

He peeked at others to make sure they were not noticed and tweaked her hip softly...

K : ok ah nu ketten...

M (grinning) : double ok...

K : enakum double ok...

Chorus : engalukum double okkkkkkkkkkk...

A KNOCK....

San & suji : ei rendu perum ready ah... neram achu....

Chorus : readyyyyyyyyyyy.......

TBC....
