Yesterday I had Sangeet (which had a Morroccon theme and took place at a farm house) and it went on till early morning. I am completely exhausted and today we will have sangeet from the bridegroom's side. From 1 December there have been many functions at home like the dholki night, kirtan and we have been practicing dance every night with cousins and friends. We have the mehendi ceremony left which will have all women coming in to bless me and then the chuda ceremony followed by the big event.
