The groom, Cabir mounting the Ghodi(Horse or mare) in a ceremonial manner, accompanied by members of his family arrives at the wedding venue, the hotel. The wedding procession with a full band-party that plays peppy musing and the members of the wedding procession dance to it.

This is the most warm and hospitable ceremony of the wedding and Punjabis are definitely known for these two attributes the most!!
The bride's family gives a warm welcome to the groom and his baraatis (guests).

Upon entering the wedding hall, Cabir is led towards the stage and made to stand upon a small pedestal.
Cabir, looking so well Punjabi groom wearing Sherwani with lots of embellishments with zari threadwork, beadwork, and stone decoration. He pairs the sherwani with a pajama in a complementary color, also a dupatta around his neck. He's wearing a traditional jutti or more modern loafers with the whole outfit. A headdress with dangling strands of decorative ribbons and even strings of pearls that cover his face known as Sehra. And not to forget him holding their traditional talwar(sword) in his right hand all the time.
Holy Goodness! He looks so priceless in his expensive designer outfit n charming face.

At the designated muhurat the bride, Navya arrives at the stage and the couple exchange garlands. The fun-filled ceremony where there happens a competition among the two sides to lift either the bride or the groom higher so that the other cannot put the garland over his or her head.
Cabir bends his head for Navya to put the garland making everyone hoot and Navya blush in darker shades.

In Kanyadaan, a touching and sentimental ceremony. Navya's father gives his daughter's hand (literally) in the hands of her groom, Cabir, and asks him to treat her with love, care, attention, and respect.

Next, the couple gets up for Phere. Then ends of their dupattas are tied in a knot and they encircle the sacred fire seven times. For the first three times, the bride leads from the front, and for the remaining rounds, the groom leads. After the completion of the Phere, Cabir anoints the forehead of Navya and fills her parting with vermillion(sindoor)and then made her wear the Mangalsutra.

And finally, the Panditji voiced "vivah sampanna Hua"

Cavya r busy taking everyone's blessings one by one with lots of promises and emotional talks exchanged between two families that got tied in bond.

Amidst this whole Wedding ceremony, almost all warmth, only one cold-war is going on. Yes! Manan!
Manik, dressed as always hot n handsome, got eyes of every girl over there, Except Nandu. And Nandini is no less... Dressed gorgeously, she caught eyes of every boy in the function and some even try to hit on her like Ashutosh, but but but... Manik is in a different mode. Ignore Mood!

Even though they steal glances from each other but turn their eyes when seen by the other person. When sprinkling flowers on Couple during Phere, their hands touched the flower basket during grabbing the flower from it; they looked into the eyes of each other but broke it in seconds pulling their hands back.

They r in their own fight, amidst the whole merry marriage.

"Mere Jutti??" Cabir searched for his footwear which he took out near the pedestal.

"Aree Tumhare Saaliyon(Sisters-in-law) se toh pucho" Nyo spoke playfully knowing that while Cabir was busy in the wedding, Navya's sisters take hold of his shoes and hide them.

Cabir turns his head to the group of girls standing at the other side smiling toothily. As soon as Cabir faces them, they look upwards as if counting stars. Foolish Move!

"Saali Sahibe, Mere Jutti denaka kya lengi?" cabir ask knowing after their act.

"Oh! Maya, Kya tumne Jija Ji ke Jutti dekhi?" Megha Di asked innocently to which he shakes her head in no "Adya Tume dekhi?" She shakes no ... "Nandu Tum?" She too bobs her head with an ever so innocent look as if she doesn't even know how it looks like!

"See... Kissine nahi dekhi! it's ur shoe, U search it yourself!" She shrugged along with other girls.

"Bhai! We'll find it for u" declared Dhruv along with Manik, Abhi, and their friends who started searching for Cabir's designer shoe everywhere siding the girls from their place. While the girls didn't move much but enough to give them space to move around them n search.

Not finding it, the boys' faces are worn off. "Okay! I admit that u r so skillful in hiding my shoes. Now, What will u take to give it back?" Cabir asked with faces and by now the girls r brimming in happiness that they r successful.

"Zyada kuch nahi" Megha said.

"Bass 30, 000." Adyasha added.

"What?... That's too much. Hum nahi denge!" Dhruv objected but playfully.

"Okay! We r leaving!" girls said casually and started turning to go.

"Okh.. ok... Manik, give them 30,000." cabir agreed and Manik handed over the money to Megha who's gonna distribute among themselves.

"Nandu, Jutti de do" She said to which Nandini nodded n slightly lifted her long lehnga to reveal that she's wearing the oversized shoes.

All chuckled seeing it. She took it out in her hands and showed them with a sheepish smile.

"Saatan ki bacchi!" Cabir chuckled saying it while nandu put the shoes near his foot.

"Wasse toh mujhe pata hai ki aapke saath Navya Di khuss rahegi. Par phir bhi baata deti hun,
Main deekhti hun bahoot sweet n sanskari type ki but, agar Di ko rulaya toh kidnap kar lungi!" She throws a tiny cute threat on Cabir, who laughed aloud putting his hands up.

"I'll remember that, Daaku Rani!" Cabir named her playfully. All others too laughed at the playful scene between the groom n his Saali Sahiba.

Manik is holding an amazed look witness the whole scene and got to know clearly that how close Nandini and Cabir are!

Whereas Raj and Nyo r admiring Nandini, Raj's Savior's Princess/ daughter. They have gathered information about her, about her nature and they personally got to know her, how beautiful soul she is! Even before knowing who is she actually, all of Cabir's family has created liking of her. She always used to help them in small-small works during the whole ceremony and her cheerfulness spread happiness around.

Soon, heart-wrenching Vidaai comes. Navya bids a tearful goodbye to her family and throws a handful of rice over her shoulder's in her family's direction expressing her gratitude towards them for taking care of her for so long. She is then sent off in a decorated car to her husband's home, Malhotra Mansion.

And since they can bring the bride's sister to accompany her to her new home, Nyonika gracefully suggested to let them send Nandini along with Navya. All agree as Navya is more than comfortable with Nandu, as her sister-like friend.

On arrival of the Doli at Malhotra Mansion, Nyonika does an Arti of the Navya n Cabir. Navya then overturns a pot of rice(Kalash) with her right foot and enters the house.

From the bride's side, only Nandini is accompanying Navya and from the groom's side, only the close family and few friends of Cabir are present inside the mansion. So, they set ahead to play the game called "Let's see Who finds the ring first". A bowl filled with milk, rose petals, and a few other things mixed well and a ring is dropped in it.

"Now u both have to find the ring using ONLY ONE HAND. This game will be played 3 times and the one finds it more than once wins the game." Nyo instructed when both Navya and Cabir sat in front of each other.

"Bhabhi, we r on ur team... show this duffer that who is the winner here" Mukti commented walking to Navya's side along with Dhruv, Alya, Abhi, and Manik.

"Wah Bhai wah! Tum sab mere Bhai-Behen ho ya isske?" Cabir talked jealously.

"Hain toh tere hi bhai, par kya hai na, aab hamne apna team beautiful aur smart Bhabhi ki taraf karli hai!" Manik declared while navya grinned n Cabir huffed.

"No problem Jiju. Main hun na, Aap ki Behen, aapke team main!" Nandini walked to Cabir's side.

"Dekha! yeh hai, meri pyaari behena. tumhare tarha nahi lady-bhem." Cabir said proudly for Nandu and playfully for his evil-sister, while Mukti made a whatever face!

"Okay ok... Jaldi jaldi karo, raat ke 11 bajne wale hai." Nyo made them stop their fight n Cavya put their hands in the bowl. All r cheering either for Navya or Cabir...

And the first time, Navya took out the ring while all cheered happily. The second time Cabir got it.

"Aab aapko jitna hoga Bhabhi Ji. hamare naak(nose) ka sawal hai!" Mukti commented giving a sharp narrow glare to Cabir who smiled playfully with a plan on his mind.

Both dipped their hands in the bowl n started searching... but suddenly... shocked Navya eyed Cabir who is grinning innocently. Why? All knew, bowl ke aandar kya chal raha hai!!!

After a long time, they both took the ring out with Navya almost wearing it n cabir tugging to it. All hooted knowingly n teasingly while the newly-wedded couple blushes.

"Loo... Dono ki tie ho Gayi. Matlab Jodi taakar ki hai!" Dadi commented making all happy.

Soon the newly-wedded is taken to their room for their sweet Night... and their brother-sister tagged along to tease them to the end...

But Raj called out Manik to the Study Room, and Nyo called Nandini to her room saying to discuss something. Raj-Nyo has decided what to discuss and how... Now implementation time!

(A/N:- The scene in the Study room between Raj-Manik; and the scene in the room between Nyo-Nandu occurs at the same time. So, Nyo-Nandu's talk is shown italicized, to differentiate that two r at different places.)

Manik- Dad u called suddenly. Any problem?

Raj- I've something to talk with u Manik.

Nandu- Aunty, is there any problem?

Nyo- No beta! I just wanna talk with u.

Manan confused. Manan- Yes Dad!/ Ji Aunty!

Nyo- Nandu, tumhara shaadi ke bare me kya khayal hai?

Nandu(confused with the question)- Ji Aunty. Badhiya Shaadi thi... bahut achhi!

Nyo- Oh! Nahi nahi! Cabir ki shaadi ke bare nahi puch rahi hun.

Manik- Toh?

Raj- tumhare Shaadi karne ka kya khayal hai?

Manik- What?

Nandu- Um....Aunty, I'm just 19. Abhi main Shaadi kesse Kar Sakti hun?

Nyo- Why not?

Nandu- Aunty, I wanna complete my studies, be something of my own, make my identity in this society, Earn my living... Before getting married and start a new life.

Nyo- that's not a problem though! u can continue ur studies and do everything u want even after getting married. And most importantly, if u get married then u'll get away from ur abusive steps.

Nandu (Shocked)- How do u know?

Nyo( assuring smile)- I have sources beta, and I don't want u to suffer there anymore where u don't get ur rights. I want u to get away from them, and live a better life.

Nandu(thinking and confused)- But Aunty....

Raj-What's ur opinion on getting married shortly?

Manik- Dad, I'm not thinking of marriage right now. U know my problem, I'm still stuck up with it. I'm not in position to think of marrying and starting a new phase of life right now. (Frustrated)

Raj- I know about ur problem. But we can get u treated from best doctors of the world and u'll be fine in no time. It's not like it is permanent or something. ... U should get married so that u'll have ur wife with u to share ur problem n help u with it.

Manik- But dad...

Raj(sternly)- No ifs n buts. Ur problem has a solution. And as there is nothing else, I've decided someone suitable for u. And I want u to get married to her as fast as possible.

Manik(shocked)- U what?....

Nandu- Who?
