india. working in europe and taking a bride in faraway karama are big steps for pretty sure. when practitioners derived in germany he shared an apartment in stuttgart his former roommates are looking forward to the wedding and to getting to know his family. and pop just so you can see me accompanying parties to his wedding all together will probably serve as president and bridesmaid. also i've got to have a word of this father because she's been trying to get his permission to marry for 2 years now and his father is just 2 or 3 years younger than i am. so as the elder one i have to take the initiative from see how it's going to be.

especially since we're like foster parents to try to. part and if you don't through popish to. even talk to teach how to cook german food for instance is going to be the thing i can't say i've assimilated into german society in just 6 years 'd my life i've beaten indian cuisine and i can't change completely in just 6 years ok and on to other aspects of the german lifestyle have been far more appealing. but i'm here feeling like i'm playing much there that's something that's a really good here in germany. a pleasant evening in this part of germany involves vegetarian and good friends fits right in. that people here would say it's edible and up. in his 6 years in germany party she has gone all but needed. that is except when it

comes to such a fundamental life event as a wedding that has to happen in india. his old friends georg and hilda would have arrived from germany. prestige helps them pick out clothes appropriate to the big occasion with his expert advice they go shopping at the best department store in honeypot pretty shoes hometown. who do it is ridicule top of i wouldn't buy anything else if it suits you. that it was a book that ever read anything i said and you didn't really get it now it's georg's turn. deal with the earth or i'd rather try something in this cause i think it will be expensive you know the fellow now you look like a prince or the 1st this is i don't want to look like a prince just like a normal indian a model in the doctor who. got once nice i'd like that one myself you are

far more collectors. shiners. for your own good. this really shows the ones who don't force in the. courts ok great i'll take this one. of all of me thought the can't stop laughing i think you're going to get already dressed like a genuine indian. girl. georg style is a hit. they have a little time to enjoy the indian ocean before the celebration begins. unlike western custom the bridal couple don't have to avoid meeting before the wedding. yeah i just i'm about to see her now i have permission to go. there the bride and her family are from northern india. this is my father.

and then comes another surprise. i can speak a little german i learnt at the great institute to give. me a. come out i come from delhi. that's about 3000 kilometers away right the state. that he's not. delis in northern india and corollas in southern india suit. me i'm very excited. to evening before the wedding the women celebrate with lots of music and dance. for a new it's a marriage of love she met her future husband pratyush on the internet he was in stuttgart and she was in delhi she had to obtain her parents' permission it took her 2 years to do so. neither set of parents will end up seeing much of their

children. will have to live in germany. i like it there. in digs a scene the winter. when i was in germany once in january when it snowed. night and i'm and once in summer 7 more than tomorrow i have no idea what to expect it's a southern indian wedding. the city's convention center has been booked for the celebration everybody's either working on preparations or waiting for it to happen . a.

hill to good use is the time to have a good look around the kitchen. if. i was ready for a knife fight fight fight fight. fight the good fight the fight to fight i want to make it tough to. that said that i. was. the cook proudly shows the guests everything the crew has been cooking around the clock for 2 days using various blends of many spices. i did this year but i can't imagine how the teams could even german food when he's used to this do is to us as you know there was a study never let on that it seemed strange to him in fact i was ate everything this up as he did say he had to practice

a bit to be able to handle german food is all right i say so given our meat and potatoes diet put aside. 500 guests are expected. they start trickling in. at last the celebrations can begin. following long established rituals the bride and groom approach the brahman the priest. it. is it is. it a bit. i know who pays homage to her future mother in law. her own mother takes leave of her. and prestige takes her as his wife.

it. may take it. some of the rituals are unknown to a new. but exchanging rings has a symbolic meaning that everyone understands. just as obligatory are the wedding photos including the german friends who traveled so far to be here. as soon as the ceremony is

over the moment comes that everyone's been waiting for it's time to check out down . in this region the wedding feast is made up of 23 different small portions served on banana leaves. the digits of the. my watch. the only ones who have to wait are the bridal couple reams of photos are taken up hill to load and georg take a moment for themselves. the obviously we're kind of exhausted and overwhelmed by all the variety confronting us here we really don't understand much of it my take on the extras to that were printed name which we couldn't even figure out what it was supposed to be about. the reception

continues into the evening for the close friends and relatives. practitioner's father looks after the german friends. private property. meanwhile the groom gives his impression of how things went from. cynthia it was stressful yes. but it all went smoothly. though it was a bit much with all the photographers. they wore as outs and if they stayed here till around 5 o'clock. i did have a nice day i change saris 3 times today it takes a little bit to do these and this time the unsealed this is my floor so. that people have it right if it is because dishes mother misses him already and i.

have my number. see my mother says that since i've been away. she doesn't look at the stars in the sky anymore because they remind her that i'm so far away this is she's very sad that i'm in such a far off place. but. the celebrations don't pass a long way to go 3 days later it continues at the bride's home in delhi. of the sole indoors it wouldn't have been easy to get married in germany so why it's all very different when you do it in india. for bride and groom it was a celebration that will stay with them long after they've moved to germany.
