Into poetry? Here\u2019s a paean to an Indian wedding.<\/p>\n
Hall decked in fragrant flowers,<\/p>\n
The sound of sweet rustling silk,<\/p>\n
Painted in colours of heaven,<\/p>\n
Festivity to the brink.<\/p>\n
Gorgeous attires<\/p>\n
Compliment beauty,<\/p>\n
Father of the bride<\/p>\n
Exhibits perfection in duty.<\/p>\n
Mehendi with many a colour, blends<\/p>\n
Intricate designs, setting trends.<\/p>\n
Soulful music played on instruments rare,<\/p>\n
Vedic chants from the dais fill the air.<\/p>\n
The beautiful bride radiant with joy,<\/p>\n
Reflected on the face of the groom, handsome boy!<\/p>\n
A spread of food, to die for,<\/p>\n
Hospitality, in torrents, as a shower.<\/p>\n
Blessings given by one and all,<\/p>\n
A grand occasion enjoyed, we have all had a ball.<\/p>\n
