As the first larger Wedding event, the Mehndi Function kicked things off with a bang! The Le Meridien poolside garden was decorated colorfully, with game and food stalls for guests to enjoy while making the rounds between having Mehndi applied. Traditionally, the Mehndi ceremony is considered an auspicious way to start the celebrations and a way to wish Ruchi good health and prosperity, as she heads into marriage. Mehndi itself is considered to represent the holy bond of marriage and is therefore a “shagun” (or sign of good luck). Vivek’s family joined the festivities, and Ruchi’s Bhabhi organized a series of surprise dance performances featuring her bhaiyas, sisters, bhabhis, and uncles/aunts - they had everyone cheering and smiling ear to ear!
