yesterday i attended the first newari marriage ceremony. it was a love marriage of my friend's brother. it was nice and enjoyable and saw and learned many things about newari culture.
though newars usually have this marriage ceremonies in night times but this one was on the day time. we were eating and eating and eating since we arrived at the bride's house. for couple of minutes we sat with groom. then we went to the tents for lunch. we had snacks. the fooding had more of the non veg items. being a non eater of meats i had very little varieties to eat. and the cold drinks and other beverages were also available. the variety of beverages is one of the important parts of the newari culture. their social lifestyle contains beverage as an integral part.
after the snacks was the lunch time. the belly was half full with the snacks and we couldn't eat much of the lunch. after lunch we were given masala, it was a bit amazing for me as other castes had different system for the same day and the same thing. being from another caste every moment was a surprise for me. and i enjoyed all moment a lot.
then after sometime we were heading back to groom's house with the new bride. at the house some photographs were taken and some rituals were fulfilled. and today i have to go to the party. i have to take care of the things which are assigned to me by my friend.
so till then keep waiting....
