Mullai home...

Everyone was busy getting ready to leave to mandapam in another few minutes...

Murugan and parvathi were so excited ordering works to everyone, running to entrance, back to home inbetween to mullai room...

Mullai's room was filled with her friends and cousins...

Murugan entered mullai's room along with paravthi for Nth time to admire their daughter's beauty...

Mullai was all dressed up like a doll and was with her mobile few minutes before handing it to suji....

They both adored their princess with little tears...

There was a splash of laughter across the room....

Murugan too laughed at that...

7.00 AM

Kathir family reaches mandapam....

He was looking so handsome in a simple shirt and pant with his signature hidden smile....

They made kathir stand out in the entrance for customs....

Gayathri and kasthuri took harathi for kathir, kept him kumkum and took him inside mandapam...

Now that bridegroom has come, Kathir's family and mullai's family are waiting for mullai to come...

Kathir is so so impatient...
His eyes were longing to see her....
He felt like time is getting on his nerves...
His eyes were on watch though he was chatting with everyone....
His friends found out he was not in his senses and responding with irrelevant answers....

7.05 AM...

7.10 AM...

7.15 AM...

Mullai arrives with suji, sankar and friends...

Mu : Mulla vanthachu...

Like a spring, Kathir stood up from his place making jega, jeeva, kanna and his friends to giggle....

Rajesh (friend 1) : dei kathiru... iniki nichayam matum tha... ne panra alaparai ah paatha etho kalyanam range ku panre...

Ka : neenga vera... anne ponnu pakarathuke intha alaparai than....

J : ada poda ivane... ivan photo eh apadi oru alaparai oda tha paathan... ipo solava venum....

Senthil (friend 2) : nee than ah kalyanam venam venam nu sonathu...

Je : dei pothum vanga.. polam...
Vita avan matum odiduvan... ponnu veetukaranga munadi asingama agidum...

Surya (friend 3) : dei machan... konjam getha iru da... ne mapilla.. antha mapilla muruku irukanum....

K : ponga da...

Kathir was blushing hearing all those but didnt want to reply and waste time for it..

They moved to entrance slowly as its ladies custom and they will not be expected there.....

There...

Mullai was standing like a beautiful angel as always....
Kathir knows she is beautiful....
But really have no idea how her beauty increases each time he sees her...

Dhanam and meena took harathi for mullai kept her kumkum and took her into mandapam...

Raj : dei sister bayangara alagu da...

Sur : ivan ipadi vilunthu kedakarathula thappe illaa...

Kathir let out a proud smile....

Kathir was standing in a distance and watching her walk greeting all relatives...
Her eyes couldnt explicitly search for him...
Being the bride, she knows she will be noticed by everyone...
Still she cant help it..

After greeting everyone, she got blessings from lakshmi still not able to see him...

Sen : dei unna tha thedaranga pola da...

Sur : konjam munnadi po da.. paakatum....

Search continues...

Kathir couldnt see her struggling to see him...

He moved a bit to make her see him...

She found him atlast...

Their eyes met for the first time on the special day.....

K : azhaghi....

M : azhagha....
