a business it's not that normal in india. working in europe and taking a pride in faraway karama are big steps for pretty sure. when pretty 1st arrived in germany he shared an apartment in stuttgart his former roommates are looking forward to the wedding and to getting to know his family you know because i. know 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 prague t.v. has 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 is the older one i have to take the initiative for and see how it's going to be. especially since we're like foster

parents to try to. parse it on through. georg even talk to teach how to cook german food for instance it's kind of the thing i can't say i've assimilated into german society in just 6 years my life i've beaten indian cuisine that 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 for like a complain 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 my. people here would say it's edible and not up. in his 6 years in germany putty she has gone. all but native. 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 good have arrived from germany. proteus 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 is read it here top of i wouldn't buy anything else if it suits you. to say clearly that it never read anything i said and if you didn't have a link is it now it's georg's turn. to go with me or through i'd rather try something in this cause i think it will be expensive you know i feel it now you look like a prince there you go 1st there's no i don't want to look like a prince just like a normal indian amano even go to. get ones nice i'd like that one myself

you are far more collectors. shiners for your own good that nobody is really sure i was not the ones who don't force the. course ok great i'll take this one. in the world a lot of me thought the can't stop laughing i think you're going to be 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. yes i just i'm about to see her now i have permission to go. to. the bride and her family are from northern india. my mrs my father.

and then comes another surprise. i can speak a little german i learned at the great institute you give. me a. come out i come from delhi. that's about 3000 kilometers away right i used to go over there he's not. delis in northern india and corollas in southern india soon. even i'm very excited. that. the 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. i'll have to live in germany. i like it there. i have been digging i've seen the winter. when i was in germany once in january when it snowed. night and i'm and once in summer 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 good uses the time to have a good look around the kitchen. it. was very story i was fighting for. by the good. fight itself but i think it tells those. that said that. 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 wanted to see but i can't imagine how the teams could even german food when he's used to this do is to us you know that was his that he never let on that it seemed strange to him in fact yeah was ate everything this up there for 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 started trickling in. at last the celebrations can begin. following long established rituals the bride and groom approached the brahman the priest. it. is 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.

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 ceremonies

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. it is difficult it's been. my watch. the only ones who have to wait are the bridal couple reams of photos are taken. he'll do it and georg take a moment for themselves. the obviously they were cut is exhausted and overwhelmed by all the variety confronting us here they really don't understand much or it might take on the extras to put $100.00 in there in 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. practitioners father looks after the german friends. private photos. meanwhile the groom gives his impression of how things went. so i think it was stressful yes. but it all went smoothly. though it was a busy month with all the photographers. they wore us out if they stayed here till around 5 o'clock we. could have a nice day i change saris 3 times today if it's a little bit you need and this one until this is my 4th. sunday why did i write it again it. is mother misses him already we're going to.

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. that. the celebration still has a long way to go 3 days later it continues at the bride's home in delhi. a soul you thought it wouldn't have been easy to get married in germany and so on 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.
