It’s the wedding day; nuptials over, the ladies help the bride wear her wedding sado, and ornate her hair with flowers (jasmins and abolim). When she is fully adorned, the groom is ushered in, and the two are now escorted to their seat of honor. While being seated the audience chants the song: ” SOVO SOVO SURNGARONE “

Sovo sovo surngarone

While drinks and snacks are being served, the bride and bridegroom are being honored by several medleys. The following song “Ghulobancho Jhelo” (a garland of roses) expresses the excitement of the fathers-in-law over their new acquisitions:

Ghulobancho Jhelo

Ghorkarnicho kelore viva, mauan ayer kelo (2)

And now the sad and solemn moment of farewell.

The bride’s parents lead their daughter-bride to her in-laws, and with tears in their eyes offer their dear girl to their care.

Aamche Garant

Aamche garaant andhkar dawnklaa
(Darkness has come over our home)
Tumche garaant uzwaad phanklaa (Repeat)

(We accept and promise Full love and devotion)

The bridegroom with his retinue and in procession now leads his bride to his home. As he enters his house, his folks greet them with song. The groom’s folks apparently did not foresee an early arrival of the bridal ensemble. They were tarried inside with chores. The entourage is angered by this delay. A dialogue ensues between the two parties. They fling guilt-trips onto each other in the process. Finally they are reconciled, and the ensemble enters in at the last verse of the song:

Bhailian Ailo Vor

Bhailian ailo vor, run ami nenan, zanvliaun vele
Nenan zanvliaun vele, rukhar zalta,

Vaten violthek ramb ani rebhek, konthar salanth,

Rebhek, konthar salanth, uzvad phankla,
