The Misri about half way through. This means the room was only about half as full as it would get because people kept streaming in for almost the entire length of the ceremony.
Right out of the gates, on day one, Indians have outdone a high-mass Catholic wedding. The chanting, singing and praying went on for over three hours. Fortunately, unlike a Catholic mass, it was not filled with references to hell and damnation; it was about happiness and prosperity. Unfortunately, I didn't understand a word of it.
