The long-awaited day arrived, bathed in the hues of joy and anticipation. The morning began with the vibrant Haldi ceremony, a celebration of color and laughter. Siya adorned a radiant yellow lehenga, and Abhimaan looked resplendent in his yellow kurta with a jacket. The two sat, separated by a curtain, as family and friends playfully applied Haldi, their laughter echoing through the air.
Amidst the revelry, Siya's family teased her, saying, "Our golden girl is getting even more golden today."
Siya blushed, replying, "And I have my prince charming waiting on the other side of this curtain."

In the afternoon, Siya and Abhimaan retreated to prepare for the most significant day of their lives. The makeup artist worked wonders, transforming Siya into a vision of ethereal beauty. As she stood in her wedding dress, tears welled up in her family's eyes. Siya, hugging them, whispered, "I'll miss you all, but today, I will get a new family."
Meanwhile, Abhimaan, looking dashing in his attire, carried a sword, a symbol of his Rajput lineage. The vibrant baraat made its way, and Siya's mother welcomed Abhimaan in the mandap with traditional rituals. The priest commenced the ceremonies, calling for the arrival of the bride.
As the priest called for Siya's entry, Abhimaan's heart skipped a beat. She entered the mandap with her father and brother, accompanied by bursts of firecrackers that added an extra layer of festivity. Abhimaan, spellbound, offered his hand, and together they took their seats in the mandap.
The momentous occasion reached the Varmala ceremony, where the couple exchanged garlands amid showers of fragrant flowers. The air was filled with joy as family and friends rejoiced in the union.
Then came the sacred Seven Vows, the pivotal part of the Hindu wedding ceremony. Abhimaan, looking into Siya's eyes, spoke the words that would bind them together in a bond of love, commitment, and shared aspirations.
First Vow: Abhimaan: "With the first step, we will respect and honor each other."
Siya: "I promise to stand by you in joy and sorrow."
Second Vow: Abhimaan: "With the second step, we will develop our physical, mental, and spiritual strength."
Siya: "I promise to be your strength and support in all challenges."
Third Vow: Abhimaan: "With the third step, we will prosper and share the responsibilities of our home."
Siya: "I promise to nurture our home with love and care."
Fourth Vow: Abhimaan: "With the fourth step, we will acquire knowledge, happiness, and harmony."
Siya: "I promise to be your companion in all aspects of life."
Fifth Vow: Abhimaan: "With the fifth step, we will raise strong and virtuous children."
Siya: "I promise to be a loving mother to our children."
Sixth Vow: Abhimaan: "With the sixth step, we will cherish moments of happiness and sorrow together."
Siya: "I promise to be your confidante and share in all aspects of our life."
Seventh Vow: Abhimaan: "With the seventh step, we will remain lifelong friends and true partners."
Siya: "I promise to be your friend, your confidante, and your partner in this journey of life."
With each vow, their connection deepened, and the agni witnessed the solemn promises they made to each other. Siya's parents were then called for the kanyadaan, symbolizing the giving away of their daughter into the care of Abhimaan and his family.
As the rituals continued, Abhimaan applied sindoor on Siya's forehead, and some playfully landed on her nose, bringing smiles to everyone's faces.
"Welcome to my heart and my family, Mrs. Raghuvanshi," Abhimaan said with a twinkle in his eye, and Siya blushed, feeling the warmth of their newfound journey together.
The day had unfolded like a dream, a tapestry of traditions and love, weaving together the destinies of Siya and Abhimaan in a bond that would last a lifetime.
The priest, with a serene smile, spoke, "May your journey be blessed, and your love withstand the tests of time." And as the sun dipped below the horizon, the newlyweds embarked on a journey that would be filled with laughter, joy, and the echoes of sacred vows spoken under the watchful gaze of the divine fire.
