Lavender Blue

[songbird_slayer]

Who: G'raha Tia, Madhuri, and Every Last One of You!
Which: Open Log
What: A cat and a dragon leap into marriage. What japes lie within the festivities?
Warnings: Gratuitous hand-holding!




It's a quiet morning, and the weather is mercifully fine. As the day progresses, the faerie activity is abuzz at the edge of the Wildlands at the nothern edge of Reverein. They need no RSVPs or dress codes, no ser, no ser, for all are invited to the evening's humble union and festivity in whatever they feel is comfortable. Whether it's by fluttering down and taking a guest by the hand or perching on their head and playing captain, the faeries are thrilled to play guides today. They hand each of the guests a small party cracker on the way, and ask to wait for "the signal". Hmmm...





The destination isn't far. It's a clearing that has been cared for over some time, dappled with rays of late sunshine peeking in from the bordering treetops. In the center is an eye-popping sight, a deeply purple tree with banners of differing colors and strings of fine crystals tied to the branches. Each breeze brings with it a shimmering wave of color and the sound of twinkling as crystal clinks together. The clearing is wreathed in flowers of all shapes and colors courtesy of the lovely Isabela Madrigal, the blooms swaying with every breeze.

G'raha Tia, dressed to the nines, welcomes all guests warmly. He's rather bashful, but appreciates all who come to attend. Guests are free to sit in any of the seats they like, for all dreamers have come together again and again like family against all encroaching nightmares.

---

At precisely four, G'raha steps beneath the tree, where a shape begins to move from within the boughs. Climbing down is an ornate dragon of scales like liquid mercury, who settles in and pulls a small book and a pair of half-moon spectacles from beneath a wing. Any utterances of awe are met with a humble bow of the head. But soon the dragon's gaze turns down the grassy aisle and the seated rise. G'raha's gaze follows, and his ears and tail frizz as a music begins to play upon the air...

...As it's the first time he sees Madhuri in her dress, hands tucked around a bundle of blossoms as she seems to glide down the aisle. In her wake are clusters of tiny golden dandelions sprouting from where her shoes had touched the grass just moments ago. Her countenance, usually painted in mischief, is actually a little bashful today, and remains so as she steps beneath the tree to join G'raha and the dragon.

The latter introduces herself as 'Mirror' as all guests are seated, and welcomes all to this momentous day, a union of dreamers. That once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives one a faerie tale; that you know when you found your other half because not only do you have a smile on your face, but in your heart as well. Madhuri reaches up to fondly smooth the ruffled fur of her groom's ears.

The two join hands and recite a shared vow, and upon each recitation, a ring is slipped over the other's finger:



"With my whole heart, I take you as my [husband/wife], acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine.

I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family's love and happiness my priority. I vow to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share in the silence when they are not. I will be yours in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will dream with you, celebrate with you and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. I give you my hand and my heart. As a sanctuary of warmth and peace. I pledge my love, devotion, faith and honor as I join my life to yours. You are my person—my love and my life, today and always. I thank the Twelve that I am yours and you're mine."

It is at this point that Mirror politely chuckles as the pair seem to be lost in the moment. For those betting on who would cry first among the couple, the G'raha-first gamblers became winners. Congrats!

"Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. ...You may kiss your bride."

All bashfulness is gone as the two share a kiss. It lingers as a wave of dreamotion emanates from the two of them, and springing forth from the violet tree, the grass of the clearing and the bordering flowers were strange blooms of gleaming white; emanating a soft corona of myriad colors. The crown of blooms in her hair shifted as well, and another sprouted in G'raha's hair. What... sort of flower was this...?

Mirror stepped aside and beamed.

"...It is my pleasure to introduce to you all, for the first time as husband and wife, G'raha Tia and Madhuri of Tribe Qalli! May their union be blessed with everlasting love and joy, and may they conquer every challenge hand-in-hand and side-by-side."

"NOW!! Get 'em!" The faeries shout, armed with their own party crackers. When guests pull the little cords, the typical paper confetti and ribbons is instead a stream of silvery stars and glimmering lights that alight any surface they touch as if solid before disappearing.

Amid the celebration, G'raha is relieved of his need for walking as Madhuri stoops and picks him up. The bride was happy to princess-carry the blushing groom down the flower-carpeted aisle and through the party cracker mayhem, leading the way to the reception just next door.

---

The reception space is like a page taken out a storybook, flower-dappled hedges framing a stage setup, many tables and chairs for comfortable seating, a dance floor and a trio of large tables all laid out with different foods to pick and choose from, each bearing the centerpiece of a small wedding cake on a stand.

But first, the music! The music is ever-present and classy, thanks to a team of resident Radio Demon Alastor and Akechi "We're Not Friends" Goro. The past and relative present combine with tunes to flavor the atmosphere, painting the perfect picture for the newlyweds' very first dance as the drinks begin to flow along the guests. Wouldn't you know it, but it seemed the couple had somehow picked the same song to dedicate to one another. The next number, however, is one Madhuri could never have guessed: G'raha had written and wished to perform his very own song for his lovely wife, the latter of which quickly becomes a bashful red to match the man's hair as his voice lifts in earnest, the poetry dancing in his voice to its completion.

The floor then opens to the guests, with the opening number unveiling a debut of Princess Octavia Ars Goetia singing on stage. Yet no matter the volume of her lovely tune, it pales in comparison to her proud father hooting and applauding away to the side. That's his owlette!

Now, with the music going and the drinks (both alcoholic and non-) flowing, maybe it's time to have a little bite! What's on offer?

---

I. Love Bites

A. This first table represents Madhuri's homeland of the Azim Steppe! The lemon cake centerpiece depicts a grassy landscape, topped with G'raha and Madhuri dressed in traditional clothing called 'deel'. They have their weapons drawn and are prepared for battle against an unseen foe.

The menu bears many barbecue options, including:

Buuz (a large dumpling filled with spiced meat)
Khorkhog (barbecued lamb with a paired yogurt and mint sauce)
Boortsog (fried dough stuffed with whipped cream cheese)

Perfect for the carnivore!

The food eaten from this table has a chance to incite a competitive spirit within you, building an urge to challenge someone to something, be it 'who can eat their food the fastest', arm wrestling, a race across the grounds, or even a spar (just take it somewhere outside of the grounds, please!). Regardless of winning or losing, the effect will fade once the contest is complete.

B. The second table represents Old Sharlayan, where G'raha calls home! This champagne cake (no worries, it's no longer alcoholic upon baking!) centerpiece depicts a cozy study area, where G'raha is deep in a book and surrounded by more reading material. Madhuri is using a stack of books as a step stool to reach for the top of a nearby shelf of spice jars.

The menu bears many smaller bites and lighter options, including:

Sliders (Regular or with cheese! For those who just want a good burger)
Piennolo Tomato Salad (Tomatoes, onions and fresh herbs tossed in a light oil)
Stuffed Pitas (Pita pockets with spinach, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes and feta with a vinaigrette, perfect for the scholar on the go who wants to keep their hands clean and their belly full!)
...Archon Bread (Don't ask what's in this. It's nutrient dense. It's chewy. Very, very chewy. The taste is indescribable. Why did Madhuri make this...? Try it if you dare.)

The food eaten from this table has a chance of making the eater float a few feet off the ground. This effect lasts 15-20 minutes. Maybe you can finally reach those high shelves at your local library...? Interestingly, the Archon Bread offers no dreamotion effects. The horror.

C. This table represents a world very, very far away called Norvrandt, where G'raha had his greatest adventure! This almond cake centerpiece depicts a tall crystal tower made of sugar, with a robed, hooded figure standing vigilant before it. Madhuri hangs off the hooded figure with her head on their shoulder, bearing ornate faerie wings and an elaborate, flowing dress. All hail Fae Queen Maddie and her mysterious King...!

The menu stresses 'on the go' meals that can easily be handheld, which means:

Sandwiches!! (Egg salad, roast beef, rainbow veggie, caprese... anything your heart desires between two slices of bread are at your beck and call, perfect for a pick-me-up during a rough journey through worlds unknown.)

The food eaten from this table makes a small false pixie appear on the person's shoulder, dressed as the most mischievous person they know, whether they are in Reverein or not. The pixie lasts for an hour, happily informing passersby of random trivia about the person. The more embarrassing, the better!

Did the bride promise no pranks? Huh. Guess she lied.

---

II. The Hopeful Bloom

The strange flowers that sprouted at the end of the ceremony seem to have grown here in the reception venue, too. They exude a soft, blissful happiness, and eyes are drawn to them often. However, there is a compulsion to pick some, and give them to someone, and the bride encourages this behavior with an oh-so-innocent smile. Will it be for a dear friend, someone you've had your eye on, or the love of your life? Whatever the case, the flower will gleam stronger when the giver approaches the receiver to which they hold dearest. For some, it may glow with previously unrecognized feelings, and perhaps may be the opportunity one needs to finally be upfront with one's own heart.

These picked flowers look lovely in a vase and continue to glow softly, emitting glimmering sparkles at night. They will last for one week before the glow fades, leaving a delicate, glass-like flower behind that will last as long as your average cut rose. Perhaps they'll thrive if instead dug up and planted in a pot or in a personal garden...?

---

III. Open Mic Night

As the dance floor clears, the mic is open on stage. Madhuri briefly explains that, between her power and that of Alastor's, any old song can be played for everyone's enjoyment. If a request is made, a song can be played for you, and you can sing your heart out. Maddie would love to hear you sing! ...Just keep it relatively clean, please. There are children here. Dedicate a song to someone, belt out your feelings, go nuts! Who knows? This might be your chance at a future career on stage as your singing is so dang good that you bring crowds back on the floor dancing away!

However, there may be a risk in asking for any random old song... you may have some particularly interesting tunes to sing to.

---

All music and merriment will be had until late into the night. Please, feel free to say hello to the bride and groom, or invite them to a dance! If you brought a gift- something that is not required, goodness, you're so generous- Madhuri will hastily drag over a spare table for them. (She really didn't expect anything, she swears she's not scatterbrained...!!)




[ooc: Another wedding! Toot-toot! Shoutout to Cybra for her help with coding! Again, though the log has gone up on the 25th, the wedding is dated canonically for the 31st.]

Comments

G'raha, the Groom | Open

[crystalized_hope]

Before the Ceremony; Open

[The day has finally come, and he's dressed up to match his lovely w...wife. It doesn't take much to see that he's nervous. After speaking to Tifa about the topic, he's gotten better about it, but the idea that everything needed to go perfectly was still on his mind. He knew there was no true way to make everything absolutely perfect. All they could do was do their best to make sure things ran smoothly.

There were a lot of 'What if...'s running through his mind, but he was doing his best to keep himself occupied to avoid such thoughts. So when he was not greeting guests, he could be found roaming around to check in on different matters.]

Blessing of The Twelve; Madhuri

[The time was finally here, standing in place as Madhuri made her way down the aisle. At most, he had been told the color of her dress but not what she would look like other than that. He had been told it was bad luck to see the bride before the day. But to nobody's surprise, the sight of her took his breath away. He knew she'd likely be beautiful, but he was unprepared for today. Ears perked up the instant he saw her, all he saw was her for the moment.

Once the vows came up, he repeated what was instructed of him, throwing a little bit more than he tried to summarize for the time being. He was planning on letting her know exactly what he felt, but that would likely take much longer. He would prepare that for her in a book to save for later viewing.]

Words could not express all of the things I think of when you come to mind. There is much and more I could say, but I will say this much for now. I never thought any of this was possible when I first came here. Not even before we woke up here. I thought that I was always destined to observe on the outside and see it happen to those around me. I never dreamed that I would find my better half here. The person who evens out my faults and builds me up, just as I hope to do the same for you. Every moment I've spent with you has been well spent. I could think of nothing else I would rather be doing than spending all my time with you. You swear you're the lucky one, but I am truly the most blessed to have you by my side. You are my world; I can't imagine my life without you now. I love you, now and forever.

[It comes as no surprise to anyone to see him tearing up before she does. But with Mirror's chuckles, he realized it wasn't just them once more. Timidly clearing his voice, they finished up this portion of the ceremony with a kiss or two to seal the deal. He hadn't known what the faeries were planning with these wedding gifts, surprised by the party crackers. There wasn't enough time to react when he was suddenly swept off his feet. Nearly falling out of her arms out of even more surprise than the crackers, he eventually settled as Madhuri hoisted him up in her arms. His face started to match the color of his hair, not sure what to think. Not enough to tell her to put him down though as he was working through feeling incredibly embarrassed as she escorted him into the reception.]

Love Bites; Open

[Having a part in deciding what would be included in the spread, G'raha had also decided to keep any and all information about it to himself until the day of. Turns out that the bride had an accomplice. Was it any wonder? So anyone eying the Archon Bread will catch G'raha's attention. He may even grab one himself as if to show it's safe to eat. He knew full well what to expect from it and had gotten used to the dense taste of it. So he didn't make it a habit to eat too much of it today, but if he could mess with people along the way... Why not?]

Wildcard; Open

[G'raha will usually be with Madhuri (duh), but there are also a ton of opportunities to find him. Whether it be to talk with him, ask him for a dance, go around the food tables, or anything else that comes to mind, he is more than happy to converse with the others throughout the night.]

[OOC: For anything else, feel free to poke me on plurk (Byefelicia. Apologies for being late on this top level. My Saturday was absurdly busy due to my own hubris and not paying attention to dates. Also, please keep in mind that G'raha might have Shadowbringers and/or Endwalker spoilers pop up in icons or tags. I will be labeling these as needed, but please consult my spoiler opt-out post. If you are still playing through the game and would not want to be spoiled, please let me know where you are, and I will do my best to avoid any spoilers. This would be a great help to me, otherwise, I will be possibly tagging these per usual until I know otherwise.]

Blessing of the Twelve

[songbird_slayer]

G'raha Tia, my partner in crime. If you had told me a year ago that I would be standing here on this altar with you, I would never have believed you... yet here we are, and my heart feels so full it could burst. I call you my hairaa because you are my heart, my everything. You are my light, and you've shown me more love than I've ever known. I chose you so many months ago. I choose you today, and I will continue to choose you forever. With you I feel like half of an unstoppable whole, and I can't wait to take on this life with you as my best friend and lifelong partner. I love you.

[It felt like a first kiss in the snow after that snowball fight all over again. To do this in front of so many people... she could wonder if it was that, perhaps, that had so many of the elpis blooms spring to life when so many other kinds of flowers always sprouted with each wondrous kiss. But to chalk it up to a sudden bashfulness was disingenuous. Instead, they sprang forth and sparkled with the birth of something brand new between them, a title, a term between them that they would more than likely shyly struggle to address...

But Madhuri thought nothing of her own bashfulness. Instead her heart turned to triumph and joy. Scooping G'raha up was no problem whatsoever. Carrying him down the aisle? A breeze, filled with the glamour of the party crackers.

It took everything in her to keep from floating when she finally set him back down, laughing and jumping up and down.]

Oh...! By the Duskmother, look what we've done! Quickly, before something happens, I must be roped to a boulder, or...!

[crystalized_hope]

[Her vows hit particularly hard. He could understand how she felt when he felt the same way. His heart swelled at her beautiful words. Kissing like this in front of so many people was a little unnerving. But this was their day. Just like any other time they'd been put on the spot, the people watching them didn't matter to him as he ignored their presence, for now. All that mattered to him was that she was here with him now. Instead of getting hung up on how possibly embarrassing this public display of affection might have made him feel, he focused more on the fact that such a wonderfully important stepping stone had just occurred.

Though he would struggle at first to acknowledge her as his wife instead of girlfriend, his heart felt overjoyed that he could really say it. And just like when they had (officially) started dating, this too would come more naturally the more time that passed. Once he set him down, he decided to uno flip reverse the scenario.]

Well then, I guess I'll just have to--

[Hold that thought. Now it's his turn to sweep her off her feet.]

...hold onto you tightly than to make sure you don't go anywhere, now won't I?

[He gave her a cheeky grin, ears wiggling ever so subtly. But he didn't let her down. Oh no. He carried her all the over to their table before finally releasing her. He was mindful of not stepping on her gown in the process.]

[songbird_slayer]

[She had to giggle while being all swept up. That was one way to keep her from floating away, certainly! That's why G'raha was the brains of the outfit.]

As resourceful as he is sweet...!

[Once safely secured, she couldn't help herself with a kiss to his cheek before she settled down. Madhuri brushed down her gown and regarded him with a canted head.]

For that, I'll let you in on a little secret system I have in place involving which of the food has been infused and which is prank-free. ...Unless you're a gambling man, dearest~

[crystalized_hope]

Hmm...

[He almost seriously contemplated her offer as he brought a hand to his chin. So dramatic. His actual answer didn't take long to say.]

As tempting as that is, I think it would be more interesting to go for a gamble instead.

[He says this, but he has an idea of what's safe and what isn't already. He'll sneak a kiss on the cheek in return.]

Love Bites

[notladyluck]

[The food looked amazing. Lady was looking over everything over when she spotted the groom and gave him a friendly smile.]

Congratulations! Madhuri is quite the woman.

[She might not know her that well, but she did like the Au Ra. G'raha might notice something else about the demon hunter. She had dual colored eyes, similar to what he had before the Crystal Tower. Her left eye was red, while her right was a blue/green color.

She picked up a couple of things and was trying things out. She hadn't seen a lot of these foods before.]

[crystalized_hope]

Thank you very much. She certainly keeps things interesting. That's for sure.

[She always kept him on his toes. It was something that he welcomed. He had indeed picked up on her eye colors, though he couldn't say for sure if there was anything to note about them. It could be a similar situation to his own, or it could just be a genetic thing. Heterochromia between Miqo'te was common, after all. Who's to say that it wasn't the case here as well?]

Ah, might I suggest a taste of Sharlayan? There are plenty of foods to choose from, but this bread is a staple among the scholars back home.

[Madhuri may have rubbed off on him.]

Before the Ceremony

[grandduchess_anya]

(Anya has arrived at the venue as promptly as she can. She doesn’t have Pooka and the white rabbit (name pending) with her though but she trusts them to behave themselves while she is at the wedding. The Grand Duchess has been dressed rather smartly in a sleeveless emerald green satin knee length dress she has made at her spare time and a pair of gold heels. This outfit is complimented with a gold purse, a pair of gold drop earrings and a simple stack of gold bangles.

She has also some gifts for the soon to be newly weds that she is about to drop off at the gifts table before she can sit down for the ceremony. Though she does notice G’Raha pacing about that she couldn’t help wanting to help the groom in keeping the nervousness in check.)

Oh hi. I was about to drop off these gifts at the table meant for wedding gifts at this very moment.

[crystalized_hope]

[Part of the great thing about having a wedding (aside from the main purpose itself) was to see everyone dressed so nicely. The green satin complimented her well. Gifts were not required, and yet he appreciated everyone who thought to get them something. Upon seeing Anya, he stopped pacing to give her his attention.]

Ah, of course! You can put them on this table over here.

[G'raha had hastefully set up a table to tried to decorate it a little once he realized people had brought them wedding gifts, but it would do the trick for now. He took care of it while Madhuri was getting changed. It wasn't like he could see her before the wedding anyway.]

[grandduchess_anya]

Oh thanks. I was wondering where the gift table is at. I am quite grateful for the directions.

(Anya gets going to put away the gifts at the table. She has decided to buy some gifts for him and Madhuri since she doesn’t think that she could make something easily for a wedding.

Making sure that she doesn’t accidentally topple the other gifts on the table, she gently places them onto some boxed gifts in a delicate balancing act.)

Wildcard - After the ceremony

[lonelysmiles]

Well, I'd say that this entire event was just berries, don't you agree?

[Alastor is still a bit juiced up from it all. His feet are tapping, his ears twitching. He's just a big bundle of humming energy right now.]

[The crash is going to be so spectacular later.]

[crystalized_hope]

[G'raha has had quite a few drinks himself but otherwise seemed sober enough.]

I'm relieved you enjoyed yourself. Thank you for coming. [And then a pause.] Were you the one behind the music shenanigans?

[He's assuming so.]

[lonelysmiles]

Shenanigans? Me? [He bats his eyelashes.] Perish the thought!

wildcard

[flamekthunder]

[Having spotted G'raha near the food tables and intending to get a few drinks anyway, Eustace quietly makes his way over.]

G'raha. [A quiet callout as he approaches.] Congratulations.

[crystalized_hope]

[Tonight had been a busy night, no doubt. Between the wedding and talking with the others, the moment away was nice to gather his thoughts... and a nice snack. He had seen Eustace around but hadn't had the chance to speak with him just yet. It was good to get the chance now.]

Thank you kindly. It's been a hectic night but very good all the same. I hope you have been enjoying your time.

[flamekthunder]

Yes, we have. It's a bit different to be a guest.

[A light grin before he gives him a once over.]

And you? How are you holding up?

Before the Ceremony

[untwisted]

[Despite having no idea who was getting married, Martel wanted to go as soon as she heard there was a wedding. Honestly she may have wandered in even if she wasn't invited because it seemed so interesting. She'd even gotten her roommate to come along, but as it wasn't a date she easily goes off on her own.

She luckily catches him while he's greeting guests, which gives her a pretty good indication that he's one of the happy couple. If she hadn't found him now she would have had to wait until after the ceremony to congratulate him, and she'd probably be gushing even more about things at that point.

She hurries toward him, smiling brightly.]

You're the groom, right? I'm so happy for you! You must be so excited!

[crystalized_hope]

[There was no need to know them to be invited. Anyone was free to come along to share their special day. Even if Martel wandered in, he had no problems with it and would be welcomed all the same. Seeing the unfamiliar girl rush over, he greeted her with a timid smile, especially in response to her own.]

I am. Thank you for coming. It is a day I have long awaited for. Are you new here? My name is G'raha Tia.

[untwisted]

[Her excitement can be overbearing depending on your disposition, yes. Honestly one reason she's so entirely thrilled for strangers is because she had been engaged before she died, so seeing people get to have a wedding is wonderful!]

Oh, right! I should introduce myself. I'm Martel Yggdrasill, and I haven't been very long, no. It's nice to meet you!

Before the Ceremony

[censorshipnutkin]

[Thancred's leaning against a nearby wall, watching people come and go... Was he watching for people who could cause problems? Yes. He's well aware the G'raha and Madhuri can handle themselves, along with probably most of the guests, if he was honest.

He watched as G'raha walked his way, looking a bit stressed. Who wouldn't be on his wedding day, but...]

Your thoughts are loud enough the Twelve could probably hear them loud and clear, G'raha.

[crystalized_hope]

[Even if it wasn't exactly necessary, G'raha still appreciated the assistance all the same. He was so trapped in his mind that hadn't heard him right away until--]

A-ah!

[Realization finally kicks in as his ears droop slightly in embarrassment. Cheeks lightly flushed, he shook his head lightly.]

I'm perfectly fine. Everything is perfectly-- Wait. Did I make sure the silverwear was out?

[Looking towards the food tables for a moment. Yeah, he's... fine. Maybe. Maybe not, actually...]

[censorshipnutkin]

[He sighs and chuckles.

Yeah. Stressed.

He stands up from his lean.]

G'raha. Everything is set up, everything is as perfect as it's going to be until you and Madhuri are saying your vows.

But, I get it.

[at least the stress levels on wanting everything perfect.]

Is there anything I can help with?

Wildcarding this ~ I'm hella bsing this so don't mind me~

[leveillpier]

[ At some point during the wedding, Alisaie was wandering around and keeping her eyes on both the bride and groom in hopes that both of them aren't overdoing it. She was pretty sure they were fine as they were, but her habit of worrying about her friends and people she cared about hadn't changed.

Of course, there's also the agreement she made with G'raha during the masquerade. She couldn't back out on her words now, right? Eventually, she spotted him, and casually strode over, while giving him a once (or twice) ]

[crystalized_hope]

[G'raha did most of his fretting before the ceremony commenced. Once it was under way, things feel into place with no hitches. Thankfully for him. Alisaie the others helping him relax before the ceremony helped tremendously. Once reception started he felt like he could breath a lot easier. Now more at ease, he was relieved to see Alisaie.]

Thank the Twelve that we can rest a little now. I hope the festivities are relaxing enough.

[He may have had a drink already but he's still sober at the moment.]

[leveillpier]

[ Alisaie can’t have him and Madhuri be exhausted for their big day and thus has tried to help them as much as she can. It seems all of that has worked for the groom and bride. She had to admit the site for the festivities is quite dashing. The colors are nice and she can tell they worked very hard on all the intricate details. ]

You both have worked hard. The rest is overdue at this point, don’t you think?

[ Her smile remains unwavering as she compliments their handiwork. ]

I’m quite enjoying myself. I pray you and Madhuri are feeling the same.
