A wedding, where the ingredients for the food and flowers for the décor were sourced from within a 10 kilometer radius. A wedding where the auspicious time was considered to be the time the sun rose. A wedding where we would hear a recital of verses from the Thirukural and not religious texts. A wedding, where the Thaali was not a marker of caste but a pendant signifying equality. A wedding with a flash mob (of sorts) dancing to the music of Parai Isai, an artform society has marginalized to funerals only.

A wedding where we made friends, for life.
