Sunil is welcomed by Venita's family:
Many firsts at the milni ritual! The ceremony took place on a stage so everyone could see it:
We have a few 1 vs 2 situations:
Also, the first ladies' lifting competition:

Venita and Sunil, when they were still living on a wedding cake:
The speeches are fun:
But the show that follows is hilarious:
Their friends and family put on an elaborate skit about how the couple met:
Honestly, you have to see the video!
