Engagament:
Location: Yesesi Mahal, Anna Nagar


This is the first time, I met Zaher, Groom. A casual, cool , sane muslim. God knows how hard Shahin's Mom tried to find a man like Zaher. She almost brought heavens down in her 5 year long mission of finding Zaher for Shahin. It was indeed such pleasure and satisfying to watch Shaheen's face glittering .


2. Day before wedding...



Location: Zaheer's house (Showkath's bro-in-law)
Event : This is one of the rituals on the day before wedding. Tradition has it that the bride's family (except bride) will go to the groom's place and apply turmeric paste on the groom's face. Then, they will do that for bride's brother. The one in the video clip is Showkath(Shahin's bro). Natural media person.

This happens to be a big clip and google nor youtube won't allow me upload them. So, send me an email if you wanna take a look at the video :) btw, they served a delicious biriyani!!
