Village wedding
I went to the Punjab village of Mari Alaichi Khan during the summer holidays to participate in my cousin's wedding. Seeing a village wedding for the first time was a fun experience. We all got ready at five o'clock in the evening. The bridegroom and his barat procession left at exactly six o'clock.
People make most of the food served at village weddings at home. We arrived with the groom's barat procession, and I saw big cooking pots on the stove. Some children were playing there. I liked the scene.
I saw a village wedding for the first time in my life. Everything was wonderful and unique. The bride was sitting on a cot. The Islamic maulvi came to conduct the wedding. I was in the same room as the bride's mother and aunt. The bride's mother looked sad and was crying.
