Ah, those are beautiful moments! The toran is the mango-leaf welcome arch the groom touches with his sword, the Mayra is when the maternal uncles arrive with gifts for the bride, and the baraat is that joyous, noisy procession to the wedding venue. But see, in my planning, the real heart is in the *thodu* teasing during the Mayra, where we hide the uncle's shoes—it turns a ritual into a memory. I've seen too many families get so caught up in the grandeur of the baraat they forget the laughter.
