After days and days of negotiations, both the parents have finally reached an agreement on who gets to conduct the actual wedding ceremony.
The wedding will be jointly conducted by a Tam priest and a Bong priest. These priests would have to decide on what specific mantras/shlokas should be recited on the wedding day, in what order and who gets to recite them.
Since there are a lot of Tamils residing in the area where the wedding would be conducted, the task of finding a good priest should not be a problem..
However, finding a Tam priest in Bong land will be Raj's parents' responsibility.. Sources say that there is a high possibility that there might be a concern on differentiating between a Tam priest, a Telugu or a Mal priest for the Bong family since a south indian priest could fall in any of the categories.. However, this will have to be sorted out by the bride's parents.. :-)
Now, Both of us, being slightly non-religious, are considering not having a priest at all for the wedding.. But needless to say, this would be rejected even moments before the suggestion is made.. :-) Now, all we look forward to is the image of Raj and Me sitting beside each other in the mantap, all decked up, waiting for the priests to stop fighting about which mantra to recite..
hmmm... May be we werent actually meant to get married.. ;-)
