In Maharashtrian marriages, post wedding rituals and celebrations vary by region, the bride, the groom, their families and their preferences.
In our case, immediately after elopement, there would be dinner reception in honour of our nuptials and welcoming the new member in Saurabh’s family. This is an opportunity for us to meet all the guests and take their blessings.
The function would be at the same location as that of the wedding.
The dinner would be a delectable 3 course Indian buffet (pure veg). The celebrations will go on till late evening after which Sonal will bid a tearful farewell to her family members and enter the Saurabh’s house for the first time (and his life forever!)
