On 16th November itself, after the guest left, we all changed, relaxed and gathered over tea for a gossip session. And, as per true Punjabi household tradition, I was the centre of all the banter. Finally by 5.30 all the rishtedars left to get set for an evening full of music, dance, food, drinks and FUN!
The Sangeet night, is a very important part of the wedding. In fact, I feel it is the most entertaining part. Friends and family members get together to sing and dance, to celebrate the wedding in the family.
It starts with involves gathering the neighbors by taking out Jago. Jago is nothing but a decorated pitcher with lamps on it. The females of the house carry Jago over their head and gather the neighbours- singing and dancing all the while.
Then singing the traditional songs called Suhaag. It is customary to sing at least five suhaags. And then we all hit the floor, dancing to the tune of the DJ. All this is interspersed with rounds of snacks and drinks and finally the dinner.
Overall a great evening and an important day of the Wedding Week comes to an end.
