Going to attend another Zoom Call wedding on Sunday Night. US Timings. Lets see how that goes. https://twitter.com/rajivrajaram/status/1282178893902798848
Cowedding 2.0 by 8.30pm tonight.
Must appreciate bride and groom in sharing exact timings for 7 different time zones đŸ˜±
Crowd has started coming. Time to go into Sun Music Anchor Mode......lets do this
First question fired - who is watching this from Nigeria? (cos nigeria standard time also listed) balle....
Second question overheard - Oho Ponnu americana? okay okay
One Aunty asks "yaaru murai padi nadakadhu" Uncle interrupts they say ceremony is only 30 minutes. Should be there's only...
Somebody from Girl's side gently introduces themselves....Everybody over here immediately running to the finish lane to acknowledge it. Like the energy
Groom dressed in Goldish Yellow Kurta, bride is in a red gown. One Aunty screams Drishti suthi potuko. How cute.
The Wedding Officiator has arrived. He is making a sweet speech.
Uncle is curious where is the wedding happening? Another uncle replies "His house backyard itself" One aunty says "Ssssssshhhhh"
One Uncle is explaining to aunty. This is a secular wedding exchanging vows saying nice things about each other and why they want to get married. Aunty says "How sweet, nammaku priya poradhu"
Bride and Groom are not able to control their laughter...this is very sweet.
Correction: aunty said nammaku puriya pogudhu super. Also aunty asks uncle how he knows about this. He says Vasu son got married to that american girl emily na that wedding was also like this. Without masks...he laughs out loud. Aunty is again saying Shhhhhhhh.
Bride speech going on...she has a line in tamil. I am playing sun music anchor asking everyone to mute.
She says she loves him for his compassion, humanity and kindness. she says he is "kadavul kudutha varam".... tamil gang is going awwwww....she repeats the line in english ...rest go awwwww
maplai friend from chennai saying maplaya sleevaaa thuki vida sollunga kai theriyala....epic bestman comment
Damn - audio is missing - people are like guys wait we cant hear you....hello this is not how it works. Assume you are watching from the audience in a mandapam, we will not hear anything na....
Audio slightly came back... bride remembers her father at this point. There is a moment of poignance and love we are able to witness. Bless them.
Aunty is saying what i have been thinking, wedding officiator costume is epic...sky blue suits, hipsterish look and a cream fedora hat
One uncle is like people are wearing masks here nice....another uncle is like they must be all democrats. Ppppahhh our uncles know american politics very well.
Groom speech is well received...officiator gives a speech and will now issue a wedding license
One uncle is curious why is it called a wedding license? Not a certificate then goes on to say its good that wedding license is issued like this and not having to go to registrar office and give 4000 rupees for kodi kaasu....
One American young man has requested for an official wedding transcript for portions missed on the audio...this cant get more surreal hahaha
And they are now husband and wife....
Now aunty and uncle are wondering where there will be a reception? how will i know sir
Now Uncle is on his way out is wondering whether there will be an indian reception? Aunty gives the look like as if he can make it. This aunty is epic.
That brings us to end of this really short and sweet Cowedding 2.0
