Karaikudi Tales | Pre-Wedding Diaries of Sneha & Ethan

Traditional Tamil Style Pre-Wedding Photoshoot

There is nothing more exciting than familiarizing your fiance who lived their entire
life in another part of this world with the unique cultural practices of your motherland!
Adjusting those crisp cotton dhoti attires and blood-red sindoor bindi on his forehead
could be the most joyous couple of minutes that you waited for your whole life.
Turning your Indian wedding with cross-cultural significance into reality might take
an aching lot of hard work. But Sneha and Ethan enjoyed every single moment of it,
beginning with a memorable pre-wedding shoot in Chidambara Vilas, a perfect
kickstart to their much-awaited celebrations. Welled up with a wholesome emotional
experience, these Karaikudi tales are forever sealed in our hearts! That is for sure!

Documented at Chidambaram Vilas in Karaikudi, the architectural legacy of this
heritage structure awed us with its incomparable beauty and precious history.
Bejeweled in countless ornamental architectural pieces, we felt speechless while
capturing Sneha and Ethan’s magical chemistry during their pre-wedding shoot in
Chidambara Vilas. Be it the closely packed columns or the attractive vernacular
tile patterns or the nerve-cleansing climate control features, wedding shoots in
Chidambara Vilas will never fail to amaze you.

The building was indeed a perfect spot to document our couple’s love story with a
touch of South Indian heritage and antique architectural highlights! Professionals at
‘Wedding Experience’ did a great job in curating the event planning and venue
arrangements with lots of passion and dedication. Sneha’s ethnic looks included a Ritu
Kumar Salwar Suit, a silk saree look from ‘Kanakavalli’ and a Tarun Tahiliani festive
lehenga ensemble. To top it off with the best of Indian antique jewels, intricate pieces
were handpicked from ‘Amrapali’ and ‘Tanishq’. ”

Two souls
with but a single thought;
to hearts
that beat as one.”

Preethi's father abandoned her family when she was 12. Her mother was really ambitious to pursue a career in medicine and Preethi's father had agreed to it before their marriage. Later, he refused to fulfill his promise. Preeth's father used to physically abuse her mother a lot and due to his abusive behavior, her mother lost 50 percent of eyesight in one of her eyes.

Preethi's mother had to undergo a very intense and traumatic phase due to the fear of losing Preethi to her father. In 10 years' time, her mother realized that there will come a time where she has to take care of little Preethi all on her own. Hence she shifted to Russia for education with Preethi being taken care of by her Mama-Mami. Her mother made sure to visit Preethi once in 3 months.

In the meantime, Preethi's father cheated on her mother by claiming her savings. Once Preethi's mother found out about the matter, she gave up her education in Russia and came back to Preethi. But before she flew back, Preethi's father had already set his journey to Hyderabad and that was the last time Preethi saw her father.

Preethy felt immensely guilty for the difficulties faced by her mother. Her mother soon found a job in a well-reputed firm and she committed to over-time works. Preethi would be already asleep by the time her mother reached home after work. This was Preethi's life for many years. Upon knowing her mother's life, Preethi knew very well about what to find in her partner, subconsciously. The very first thing Preethi noticed in Aben was his dissimilarities with Preethi's father; Aben is extremely honest and open-hearted. Preethi's mother loved Aben when she met him and in 2017, Preethi and Aben decided to get married.

Aben's family was reserved about the proceedings, with Aben being a Christian and Preethi being a Tamil Brahmin. Preethi's mother traveled to Kerala for convincing Aben's parents. But she couldn't get them convinced and she assured Preethi that if Preethi and Aben are happy, she will get them married. In a nutshell, Preethi's mother decided to make use of all her savings to get her daughter married to Aben. Eventually, Aben's family came on good terms.

During the wedding planning, Preethi found out that the 'Kanyadaan' ceremony performed in Tamil weddings is done with the bride being seated on her father's lap. A relative made a suggestion about Preethi being seating on her mother's lap for Kanyadaan. Preethi felt the same because all her life, her mother has been providing her both paternal and maternal care, strength, and love.

Although 5 priests rejected their idea and they argued that it is not right for their culture, Preeti was determined. Within a few weeks, they found a priest who agreed to their idea. While the Kanyadaan was being performed, Preethi and her mother glanced at each other, bursting into tears. Preethi's mother hugged her and ruffled her hair. It was their beautiful moment. It was the least Preethi could do for her mother for what her mother has gone through, giving Preethi the best life. Preethi quotes her mother as a survivor, a warrior, and a protector.
