North Indian weddings are fun but are very tiresome for the bridal couple. I was talking to one of my sis-in-laws who got married an year and a half back about some ritual (as to she must be remembering it how/why its done) and she replied, i dunno, i was too tired and sleepy so I just did what i was told 
My cousin who got married breathed a sigh of relief yesterday morning and finally said to me at 5 AM. Didi, give me something to eat I am hungry like hell and i cant sleep – he was supposed to be sleeping with his wife, the wife slept thru the two hours they had together 
Came back today, tired and then got more tired roasting Liver over coal – this year I took over what Tarique use to do every Bakr Id- he has a sore throat and fever.
My allergies are in control -touch wood – and I am breathing through my nose without the nasal drops for past 36 hours boy! that feels good!!
