Life is Good

9^th December 2009.

The most awaiting perfect day. Time to tie the knot. Lots of relatives, few friends and my whole family. A very different feeling. Hard to explain. A Feeling that probably any would-be bride will have on her wedding day. Happiness to live life with her beloved and the fear of accepting all new things. I am no exception. Knowing Abhishek and his family, if it were so difficult for me; I wonder how the girls manage in arranged marriages.

Change is inevitable and is definitely for good this time. But the thought of being a part of another family is scary. I think worse that this is the feeling of leaving my family behind- that’s how the Indian weddings go. But how is it possible? For last 27 years I have lived life with my parents and no marriage would make any difference to my life or to the fact that my home is still Bhubaneswar. My parents assured me that it was the thought of the older generation and now things are much better than the olden days. So I am still The Daughter and I remain equally important even if I am married. Thank God my parents don’t believe in the old school of thought that the daughter becomes less a daughter and more a daughter-in-law after marriage.

Anyways the wedding was grand. It was fun- other than the Bidayee part. The reception was good at Patna. Abhishek has been supportive through out. The few days that we stayed at Patna were good. Then we visited my parents at Bhubaneswar and waved them good bye.

We went to Scotland on honeymoon. No other word justifies the beauty of the place other than ‘awesome’. As far as I could see, it was snow everywhere. It felt like heaven. It was the most perfect honeymoon destination I could think of. Abhishek ensured that everything there is at disposal to make it the most unforgettable days of our life.

We came back home just before the New Year Eve so again its party time. Its parties and fun and most importantly love. Wish life goes still here for some time. This is definitely the time both of us want to live again and again. It’s the perfect wedding- the perfect honeymoon- and now the perfect house. What makes this most perfect is that we are so truly-madly and deeply in love with each other.
