Chapter 1 | The Couple To Be

Once upon a time, in the city of Udaipur, a wedding was set to take place. While it was the groom who chose to run far, far away from their hometown in Bombay, it was the bride who was enchanted by the majestic history, palaces and lakes of Udaipur. They made a plan to whisk away all their family & friends to join them for 2 days…

And then, on the eve of the celebrations, the mothers-in-law-to-be squealed, for the bride and groom were nowhere to be seen. They later heaved a sigh of relief, when their soldiers discovered the couple had just run away to the palace on the shores of Lake Pichola, to enjoy the final moments of their singledom in peace.

‘Twas then the night before the wedding celebrations commenced. The bride and groom decided, before getting their beauty rest, a party was in order to celebrate another event – the wedding anniversary of their parents dearest!

And so to Chunda Palace the family went, to raise a toast and cut a cake, and enjoy the beautiful views of Udaipur and its lakes.

On a crisp October morning, the guests to the Sheraton Palace began to arrive. They were greeted by a Rajasthani dancer, accompanied by her very own Ektaara. And so to the tunes of this music, many of the guests began to sway, with some even deciding to start dancing right away!

But little did they know, what the bride’s sister had in store…. For as soon as they picked up their goodies and grabbed a bite to eat, she whisked them away, for a rehearsal was underway and made them dance galore!

And on the white palace terraces, as the sun began to set, the mehndiwalas from Ahmedabad began to cast their spell. To the song of Rajasthani folk singers, they decorated the bride, with garlands and dolis and elephants, and set the groom a test – to find his name (written in Japanese, would you believe) on the hand of his betrothed.

And soon the guests were also caught up in the mood. They sang a song, and danced along and had some vodka golguppas too.

Then when night fell, to the Ballroom they went, for a show was set to take place. The groom’s gang swung to ‘Dhinka Chika’ and the bride’s brigade sashayed to ‘Ainvayi’ as they entered in a procession. The dances took place, with ‘Chamak Challo’ setting the pace, till the bride and groom finally took centrestage….

Then everyone joined in, the music kicked in, and there was many a dance move on display…
