--------------------------------------------

Mullai fell with a force on kathir who embraced her reflexively and before they move away the photographer who was well informed about the plan clicked their happy blushing smiles brilliantly...

Chorus : ohhhhhhhhhhhh...

As Kathir and mullai adjusted themselves from their position trying to glare at their gang, they failed miserably seeing their naughty smiles and broke into a concealed blushing smile...

K (pretending to glare) : yen da ipadi panrenga... yaaravathu yetha sola poranga...

Sur : adei... neenga purushan pondatti da... yaarum yethum sola mudiyaathu... nee than mathavangala solanum...

K : athu sari... thevai illathathelam panitu pechu vera...

Sen : dei nallavane... yetho pidikaatha madhiri scene podama adutha velai ah paaru... ipadi morachena nijama unaku pidikala nu ipadi elam panratha niruthiduvom...

Swar : avangale yepo da chance nu irukanga... theriyaatha namaku... intha moraipu yellam chumma...

Suj : avanga moraikarathu irukatum... iyer moraikararu... avangala vidunga.. inum pana vendiyathu sadangu elam iruku...

Iyer : unakavathu purinjuthe ma... mapillayum, ponnaiyum anupi veingo... konjam sadangu yelam mudichutu tharalama kootitu pongo...

Chorus : pongooooooooo... pongooooooooo...

The friends moved a little aside pushing kathir and mullai near the priest again...

Iyer  :  mapilla oda akka iruntha vaango...

Sel : iruken saami...

Iyer : mapilla oda angavastharatha ponnoda munthanai oda mudichu podungo... moonu mudichu podungo...

Sel : saringa saami...

As selvi finished doing as instructed, Kathir and mullai were made to hold with their pinky fingers and kathir lead the way as a harbinger to their new life...

They started taking the seven sacred rounds clockwise around the sacred fire representing the seven principles they were supposed to follow together and promises they make to eachother...

All the while, the priest was chanting mantras for every round...

After finishing four rounds,

Iyer : ipo ponnu munnadi poganum... mapilla neenga ponnuku pinnadi ponga...

San : avan rendu maasama athu than saami panran...

K : yen ne...

Chorus : ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Iyer : nalatha pochu... appo mapillai ku nalla palakam irukum.. athe madhiri pongo mapilla...

Chorus : hoooooooooooooooo...

Mullai was made to head up for next three rounds and they finished their sacred seven rounds with acknowledging smiles to the fun made by their people...

The ritual was done satisfactorily and they took their fingers off eachother...

Can just a mere hold by little fingers make you feel so preserved and protected...

Yes...
They understood it can...
They felt powerless all of a sudden...
Unknowingly they moved closer with a comforting  smile before they moved onto the next post wedding ritual...

It is saptapadhi...

After taking the scared steps around the agni, they proceeded to the next...

Iyer  : mapillai... neenga ponnoda valathu kal yeduthu yelu adi vekanum.. yelaavathu adi ammikal mela irukanum... sari ah...

Kathir nodded smiling at mullai...
As he crouched down and raised his hands, She held her right feet and right hand for him to hold..
He helped her walk the seven steps sametime holding her right hand and placed the foot on the grindstone for the seventh step...

Iyer : metti ah podungo...

As iyer handed over the toe rings, Kathir adorned her second toe solemnizing the wedding...

A moment he was drawn to her sight of her dainty feet with the toe rings and anklets added to it was the letters of his name with the mehandhi...
The feet gave him a right of possession than he had held it last time during the mehandi bash...
He forgot a second where they were and with whom they were...
He wanted to kiss her feet that avowed the sign of their marriage...
Under a spell, he flicked the little beads on the toe ring which made mullai pull her leg making kathir come out of trance...

San : dei kathiru... yena da panre...

Raj : mullaiye ne metti pota madhiri nadichathu pothum elunthiri nu solaama solita... ithuku mela mariyathai illaa elunthuko...

Kar : neenga vera.. anna metti podala... mehandhi la letters kandupidikara game velaiyaditu irukaaru... illa ne...

Chorus : hoooooooooo...

Kathir got up reluctantly with a sheepish smile hearing to them while mullai was enjoying kathir's self effacing reactions....

Man : paavam kathir ku than time agume kandupidika...

Sen : time yethuku... kandu pidikarathuka illaa kaala pidikarathuka...

Chorus : ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

They continued more and more caulking the stage with cheery chortles...

Kathir ruffled his hair passively just to be stopped by mullai...

M : thalai ah kalaikaatheya... photo la nalla irukaathu...

K : Oi... avanga ena ipadi otitu irukanga de... unaku ipo photo than mukiyaama... support panalam illa...

M : aaama ithana per munnadi ipadi yelam pana otaama yena panuvaagha...

K : yena panitanaam... yenamo mutham kudutha madhiri salichukare...

M : neenga vita atha than panirupeya... neenga thotathulaiye therinjithu... unmaiya solunga...

K (wink)  : enaku poi soli palakkam illa... nijama oru nimisham aapdi than thonichu...

M : theriyume...

K : vazhiyutha...

M : athu yepavume...

They were interuppted in the middle...

Sen : dei naanga kashpattu counter ready pani, chorus elam potu ootitu iruntha atha mathikaama ipove romance start paniyacha...

K : ootinengala... sorry da... enaku kekala...

Sur : mavane.. iru dosage athigam panrom.... mudinja da nee...

Iyer : thambi neenga tharalama panungo... apdiye ennaiyum konjam naduvula sethukongo... naanum unga kuda senthu avaala otite sadangu elam pana vechuduven...

San : athuku yena saaami... tharalama vaanga... neenga apadiye sadangaiyum panunga... naanga side la enga velaiya paakarom....

Iyer : ithu sari...  mapilla ponna kutitu vaango poi arunthathi paathutu varuvom...

Raj : aiyayo... enga kathir mullai ah thavira inoru ponna niminthu kuda paaka maatan...

Arunthathiyavathu, jagammavathu... yena solrenga yellarum...

Chorus : aamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

Sur : appo antha ponnu...

San : yentha ponnu da...

Sur : athan ne.. nethu rathiri sonaanee oru ponna pathi...

K : dei... athu...

San : aama aama antha ponnu...

Raj : sorry mulla... avanga theriyama pesaranga... nee athukaaga kathir ah adika yellam seiyaathe... antha ponna pathi yellam yosikathe...

Tam : yena na neenga.... yaaru antha ponnu...

K : ada neenga vera...

De : yetho iruku mulla... yena nu visaari...

K : yethum illaa.. nan...

Sen : sari vidu da... ipo yethuku antha ponna pathi pechu...

K mindvoice : paavi pasanga... vita kalyana naal anike pirichu vituruvaanga pola... iva yena amaithiya iruka... iruka maataale... sari itha appuram paapom....

K : adei... neenga mudhala kelumbunga...  poi sapidunga ponga... saapadu gaali agida poguthu...

Kar : anne naanga naal muzhuka patni irunthaalum paravala... ungala vitutu poga mattom.... yena solrenga....

Chorus : yessssssssssssss....

Iyer : thambi... apadiye pesite vaango... arunthathi ah paathutu surya bhagavaan ah tharisanam panitu vanthuduvom....

K : Oi....

M : hmmmm....

K : nathu na sonna ponnu yaaru nu theriyanuma...

M : venam...

K : venam???

M : venave venam...

K : yen de ipadi solite...

M : neenga kandipa enna pathi than pesirupeya... atha than avanga otaragha...

K : unna pathi ill...

M : irunga irunga... illaa nu sola poreya... athan eh... athu nan than nu enaku theriyum... aana na keta athu vera ponnu nu vevakaarama ena kadupaaka oru kadhai soluveya... athu poi nu therinjum enakum oru kutti kovam varum... atha control pana na kastapaduven... atha neenga jolly ah rasichutu irupeya... ithelam thevai ah enaku...

K(amusingly) : Oi azhagi... bayangara ushar agita de nee...

M : unga pondatti agiten illa... athan....

K : parra...

With all fun talks, they proceeded to the entrance of the hall...
They completed a pooja for the sun and looking for arundhathi with all teasings...
It was the same old scene of bride and groom seeing the imaginary star and proceed back to the stage...
The priest left the place to prepare for next while others stood back for pictures...

Then...

Sru : anga than onume theriyalaiye... yen mama theriyuthu nu sonengaa...

K : athu apadi than sol....

San : athu un mama ku than athai mela paithiyam aache than... athai kuda iruntha theriyaathathu yellame theriyum paapa...

K : anneeee....

Chorus : hoooooooooo...

Sru : aana athaiyum theriyuthu nu sonangale... yen athai apadi sonenga...

Suj : athu onum illaa paapa.. un athaikum un mama mela paithiyam... athu than apadi...

Sru : apadiya athai...

M(stammering) : athu...

K : papa... athelam veetuku poi ketukalam...  ipo ulla polam...

Before he could complete...

M : aaama paapa... athai kum mama mela paithiyam...

Chorus : mullaaaaaaaaa... heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....

Kathir looked at mullai surprisingly...
If kathir opening up is a shock, obviously same with mullai too...
The one who looks around ten times just to sit beside him uttering these words in front of a bunch of people bowled him over...

Sel : sari sari vaanga.. anga anga ninutom na neram agidum.... povom....

As they moved inside the hall...

K : Oi...

M : hmmm...

K : yethuku apadi sonne...

M : yepadi...

K : athan unaku enmela paithiyam nu...

M : yen athu unmai than eh...

K : unmai than... aana ithana per munnadi solanum nu illaye... avoid panirukalaame...

M : avoid panirukalam than... aana kathir mullai ku yevalo mukkiyam nu yellarukum theriyanum... athan sonen...

Kathir stopped walking making her stop too..
They way she proclaimed without a tinge of shyness and reason behind those words gave him a sense of contentment...

M : yena achunga...

Kathir nodded as nothing as he was lost for words with a intense look....
Mullai could get his thoughts clearly.. It was the same she experienced few days back...
The solacement received by making people know the intensity of their love was out of bounds...
Instant silence, warmth and fondness spread across them...
But this was not the time for silence she felt...

M : serious ah iruka kathir ah paaka nallave ilaa nga... mood ah mathunga please... 

She spoke with a expecting grin just to soothe him... He got her intention in no time and replied back accordingly...

K (wink) : athu sari... madam ku yena mood venum ippo...

M : aiyo saami... kalyana mandapathula iruka mood la iruntha pothum....

K : kalyana mandapam na....guest room la iruka mood ah... na all time ready than...

M : acho... theriyama soliten nga... mudhala vaanga...

K : varen varen...

They reached the stage again with casual talks where the priest was ready with next set of rituals aka games...

Iyer : vaango... vaango... ipo ponnum mapillaiyum maalai maathikanum... ipadi nilungo...

He made them stand facing eachother and gave each of them a garland... The music crew was playing apt songs for the rituals happening....It was now the song "maalai maatrinaal kothai maalai maatrinaal"...

With echoing sound of the song and screaming voices near, they started the ritual...

Iyer : ponnu mapilla kazhuthula podanum...

M : saringa saami...

As she was about to drop the Garland, kathir bent back with a crooked smile and she missed...

Chorus : ohhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Sen : super da kathiru...

Swar : mullai vidathe de... potudu...

Everytime mullai moved forward with garland, kathir did the same leaving cheers everywhere...

M (pout) : yenga ipadi...

K(grinning) : chumma de... ini illaa... podu...

Kathir gave up seeing her cute pout which created a wave of smiles...

Mullai dropped the garland as he himself came forward for it...

J : dei kathiru... antha pulla moonjiya paavama vechathum kavunthutiye da...

Sel : athana mapillai veetu getha kaamika venama...

Mee : athan eh...

Man : mapilla vettu getha... ithukaagave kathir ah avalo easy ah naanga maalai poda vida mattom... yena solrenga....

Chorus : aaamaaaaaa...

There was a quick discussion within mullai's side...

Mu : athelam yethuku pa..vidunga...

P : athan eh... ithula poi yethuku velaiyaatu...

Iyer : ada ithelam  than velaiyatu nga... yepadi vena velaiyaadatum... chumma maalai ah podarathula yena iruku...

Chorus : yessssssss...

L : aama parvathi... velaiyaadatum... nalla iruke paaka... namma konjam othungi irupom... sirusunga adatatum...

Je mom : athu sari than....

Some elders moved little behind and started witnessing the fun while few were busy in taking care of guests....

Kas : kathir thambi ipo yepadi maalai podarenga nu naanga paakarom...

Man : athan podunga paapom...

K mindvoice : ada paavame... yena pana poranga... kalyaname agiduchu.. inum yena mapilla veedu... ponnu veedu nu tu... imsai panrangale... Pesama maalai ah potu velaiya mudichurukalam.... intha vetti velaiyaatu thevai ah da kathiru unaku... anubhavi ipo...

He eyed mullai with a pleading look who in turn winked back with a naughty smile...
As he got caught in the smile and step a foot near her, there was a loud cheer and mullai was lifted in air by sankar and dheena...

Chorus : hooooooooooooo....

Man : ok kathir... ipo podunga paapom...

K mindvoice : ada paavigala...

Iyer  : amarkalam... haan mapilla podunga...

J : dei naanga thookarom da... ne podu... avangala namala nu paakalam...

Sen : aama da...

K : ada athelam venam...

Raj : chumma iru da...

Kathir was lifted by senthil and jeeva and following minute were pure fun with kathir trying to adorn the Garland with help of his people and mullai's  side making it impossible....

After a good laughter, kathir and mullai pleaded to get it finished and got dropped...

Sel : sari... nalla velaiyaadiyachu... yaaru jeichom nu elam yosikaama maalai ah poda solidalam... pothum...

Chorus : okkkkkkkkkkkkkkk....

Iyer : sari mudinjuthuna maalaiya podungo...

Kathir neared mullai with a exhausted sigh...

K : en pondatti kaluthula na maalai ah poda yethana arpaatam....

M : nalla venum...  ena alaiya vecheya illaa athan punishment...

K : pode...

Iyer : mapilla appuram pesalam... maalaiya podungo...

K : saringa saami...

He festooned her with the Garland finally with a wide smile... The ritual was carried on for two more times by exchanging garlands eachother...

As it was done, the game of showering the akshathai on eachother and smashing appalam on their head started...

( This game is for my dear NivedhaVeeran  😉😉😉😉... Just to fulfill her wish to see this game for KM )

Ka : adi paavigala... ithana appalatha waste pana porangala... namma India la neraya per saapaatuku illama kashtapadaranga.. inga ipadi oru aniyaayam nadakuthu...

Mee  : dei... over scene podathe.. ipo yena appalam venum sapida athan eh... poi eduthutu vanthu sapidu... athukunu India, pakistan nu yellam thathuvam pesathe...

Ka : he he nalla purinju vechurukenga...  done...

As kanna started munching, the game started with mullai breaking the appalam on kathir's head and the vice versa...

During the final third count,

Man : final time ithu... yenga rendu perum senthu odainga paapom...

Kathir winked at mullai with a gesture if she is game who she nodded delightfully...

Both simultaneously broke the appalam with giggles and leaving the stage fill with chortles...

And then no games were spared including the  coconut rolling...

They were made to sit in a distance and given coconuts to roll  in eachother's direction simultaneously... They played well trying to break the coconuts, managing to break few and ended up the game happilly...

Finally all the elders too joined the gang on stage as they were on the final game of the day...

The last was the hunt for the rings...

Manju placed a big pot of water infront of them and kathir mullai dropped their engagement rings into it...

San : ipo ring ah kandupidinga... yaaru kandu pidikarenga nu paapom...

K : paakalam ne...

To M : paakalama...

M to K : paakalam...

K : na yeduthutena yena tharuve...

M : yena venum...

K : na mudhala eduthutena kalyanam mudinju thara first kiss ne than tharanum... athum lips la...

M : oh ho... appo na eduthutena...

K : na unaku kudukaren...

M : ithu nalla iruke kadhai... ithelam oru bet ah...

K : ilaya pinna... unaku vangikka pidikuma illa kuduka pidikuma mudivu panitu vanthu yedu...

M : enaku rendume pidikum... aana vaagika than romba pidikum...

K : athe than... enakum vaangika than romba pidikum... so nan than yedupen... unna jeika vida matten...

M : paapoma...

K : paakaalam...

Ka : athena neenga yetha start panrathuku munnadi game plan, strategy yellam plan panitu than start panuvengala... naanum arambathula irunthu paakaren... munu munu nu pesite irukenga... yena pesarenga apadi...

San : aama ne kelu... avan solitu than maru velai paapan... yen da...

Je : athan eh... mapilla arambinga... inum ca...

Kas : neenga unga oota vaai ah vechutu chumma irunga... mulla... ne arambi... vitudathe de...

M : matten athachi...

D : aama da kathiru... vitu kuduthudaathe...

K : athelam matten anni...

They started hunting down for the rings off course with the plays of pinching, scratching, pulling the fingers if they found the other had caught hold of the ring and making them drop...

After sometime,  kathir came up with a ring with a wide grin and  a little wink at mullai...

Chorus : heeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...

D : super da kathiru...

Ka : enaku kathir anne mela nambikkai eh illaa... vitu kuduthudum nu nenachen....

Chorus : naaangalaummmmmmmm....

K to M : yethula yellam vitu kudukanum nu iruku illaa... yena solre...

M : romba than...

K : so na jeichachu... first nee than...

M : mudiyaathu nu sonnaa...

K : soli paaru de... aapuram theriyum...

M : paakaren... paakaren...

K : sari aduthatha edupom... ithukum yetha super ah bet vechupoma...

M : onum venam.. ithu nan tha edupen... neenga eduka kudathu... ipove soliten...

K : sari de azhagi... neeye edu... na edukala... enaku en asai neraiveriyaachu... itha vechu na yena pana poren...

M : athu sari...

They went for the next round with little plays and after sometime mullai came up with the ring...

Chorus  : ohhhhhhhhhhhh...

Mee : aaluku onnu kandupidichachu.. sari ipo aduthu yena...

Sel : atha potu vida vendiyathu than... rendu perum potu vitukonga...

They exchanged the rings with the memeory of their engagement grinning ear to ear at eachother..

And...

Their eyes were closed suddenly just like the engagement...

Before they come out of it and guess the reason, they took off the hands from their eyes....

Chorus : Haappy marriedddddddd lifeeeeee...

Their people shouted in a pitch higher than othertime making the duo go into shocking surprise seeing a table in front of them with cake...

Yes, it was a cake again...

They gazed surprisingly at eachother and others around...

K : dei ithelam...

Chorus : surpriseeeeeeeee...

Kathir and mullai turned little emotional as if they were reliving the engagement day seeing the cake following the so called ring ceremony... They shared warm hugs with the ones who arranged the little surprise for them...

K : yellam unga idea ah than irukum... romba thanks...

Kathir thanked the friends gang in general...

Offcourse, there were no two gangs anymore... It had settled as one...

M : aama romba thanks ne...  ungalukum de...

Swar : pode loose... thanks aaam...

Sur : athan eh... mudhala cake cut panunga rendu perum...

Chorus : paanungaaaaaaa...

Kathir and mullai , totally lost in the day, stood in close proximity and cut the cake together with both their hands clutching the knife...

San : kathiru mulla ku kudu... neeyum kudu mullaa...

K : sari ne...

He shared a piece of cake to her so did she...

They smiled at eachother as their mind harked back to the past....

K : Oi... cake ah perusa vetalaiya... nichayathula vettina madhiri...

She smiled sheepishly thinking how anxious she was about his naughty side at that moment...

M : illaa...

K : yen... ipo na yethum vambu pana mattana...

M : illaa vambu panalum paravala... athan license kedachaache... ungaluku full rights iruke...

K (amusingly) : oh ho... appo anniki enaku rights illaya madam...

M  : anniki LLR mattum than eh sir irunthuchu... iniki than eh license kedachuruku...

K : azhagi... yena azhaga pesare....

M : azhaga... athan solitena unga pondatti ache... ungala madhiri azhagaa than pesuven...

K : pesu pesu... kekka than eh naa...

They were interrupted by a loud shout...

Chorus : Stoppppppppppppppppp...

K : yena achu.. yen katharenga...

Raj : dei... naangalum kupitute irukom... nee paatuku vazhinjute iruntha yena artham...

De : mullai thodachu vidanum nu artham...

Chorus : ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Sur : athelam veetuku poi vechukonga... ipo engala gavaninga...

Kar : athan eh... ei engalayum konjam paarunga...

M : sorry sorry...

K : sorry sollunga...

Ka : sorry yelam venam... oru selfie edukanum... nilunga...

Chorus : sayyyyyyyy cheeeseeeeee...

CLICK...

So with all fun and frolic of the youngsters and satisifed hearts of elders, the wedding of kathir mullai came to an end with plethora of happiness, contentment and fun...
