'Bride and Bridegroom'

The sixth in my series on 'A South Indian Wedding'. 'The Bride &

Bridegroom' after the 'Oonjal', go through a long session of

chanting mantras (only the bridegroom chants the mantras, not the

bride). This is the most important part of a wedding, its an extended

version of the groom and bride promising to be together in the highs

and lows of life. In this picture you see a typical indian bride who

is shy and humble and the groom concentrating on chanting the

mantras, and occasionally taking a break to catch a glimpse of people

who have come to attend the wedding. Look forward to the next in the

series of 'A South Indan Wedding' A small request - i would like the

members to see all the photographs in this series in totality as this

is more of a series and a story rather than individual photographs :)

Pradeep when it's all done you should make a presentation out of them all.

thats something i have been thinking of right from the beginning :) that reminds me i have been seeing the same featured presentation for eons on the home page now, why is that??? :)

Don't know why it's not been changed. BTW, I relaunched one of my old wedding photos in a modified version. Have a look.

Actually, what's interesting about this one in contrast to the "oonjal" scene is the marked difference in atmosphere, mostly as told by the expressions of seriousness on their faces.

Well captured moments!

Good to see that you are active again on PN :) thanks for the comments on the series and hope you like the rest of the photographs in the series and the portfolio :)

The Groom looks annoyed with u pradeep.. better hope that G2 doesn't find it self airborne.

I like this one...seems to say alot!
