This must be the in thing nowadays, but a first for me and I am pretty excited about this. There's a wedding in my extended family today in Chennai and for some reason I haven't been able to attend it. Well not physically at least, but virtually I am party to every little ritual that is a part of the wedding thanks to the Live Webcast from 6.30 AM this morning. Perfectly good streaming video and crystal clear sound make me feel I am right inside the marriage hall, thankfully I am in my own living room - as I would hardly qualify to attend the wedding the way I am now - in my faded pyjamas and tee shirt.
This must be the example of a perfectly organised wedding from the little things I have observed. The wedding card was despatched over a month before the date to enable bookings in the peak vacation time. A phone call was made personally to ensure that the cards have been received. The sarees were sent to close relatives along with the card so that they could get the blouse stitched and wear it for the occasion. The web cast set up was done 4 days in ahead of the D Day with an sms sent to all the invitees containing the website url.
It's amazing how something like technology can enhance life in such a beautiful way. The vedic chants and the auspicious 'melam & naadaswaram' sounds in my living room is filling up my space with positive vibrations.
Praying to the Almighty to bless Shwetha and Karthik with a blissfully happy married life.
