I was in my thoughts when my family and cousins came, all ready to rock today's function, soon guests also started arriving and I greeted them.
Everyone's attention was at the entrance, and I curiously looked over there and saw the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, walking towards me, looking like my queen, my Angel.

(The text in Bold is some information about the Sangeet Ceremony for those who are not aware to the culture)
The Hindu, Punjabi, and Gujarati wedding ceremonies are known to involve several pre-wedding events, including the Sangeet. The Sangeet is however unique because it is where the party starts. Sangeet means 'to sing together in Sanskrit. Also referred to as Guan (meaning 'songs' or 'to sing' in Hindi), the event is traditionally celebrated in the Punjab regions of India. However, several other regions now include it in their pre-wedding celebrations. Initially, the Sangeet is strictly for females, with attendees coming from two families. But now, we have men joining the party. The Sangeet is not considered a religious pre-wedding ceremony. Instead, it is an avenue to partake in the joy and happiness surrounding the couple.
The highlights of the event include songs rendered collectively by the elderly female members of the families and dedicated to the bride; dances by the relatives and friends of the couple; and an open dance floor to celebrate the festivities for the other days of the wedding week.
While the Sangeet is premised on rejoicing, it is also an important avenue for the families to gather and get familiar before the wedding day.
The couple is entertained by the choreographed dance numbers performed by friends and relatives. And it is also considered a form of social bond that connects the families with themselves and the couple. You may hire an Indian Wedding DJ to host your Sangeet.
