She wasn't the svelte nymphet anymore. Turned out more "headstrong" than he ever imagined.
She’d had her dreams of finding another family shattered too, and how! Overcame the bitterness with great difficulty.
They fought bitterly, made up tenderly - even after so many years. They’d faced losses and celebrated triumphs. Together.
The Gods weren't sniggering anymore.
She looked up at him adoringly as he tied on the Mangalsutra. She felt blessed to be marrying into such a loving family. She wasn't losing her family, she was gaining another one. She couldn't believe her luck.
The Gods above sniggered. She was in for a surprise too! This was just too much fun!
He looked at her fondly as he leaned forward and tied the mangalsutra around her neck. Such a charming, loving and lovely partner. She would fit right into his family. He beamed proudly at his fine choice of a girl. She smiled back.
The Gods above sniggered. Boy, was he in for a BIG surprise!!
