Reception is a grand party hosted mainly by the groom's side, and this day celebrates newly married couples. It is a big day for the bride as she gets officially introduced to her in-laws, the groom's family, friends, and so on as the Missus. While the bride spends hours picking her reception gown or a sequin saree to turn heads, the groom must also look dapper.
It is that one day when everyone who knows the groom and his family is present to bless the couple's new beginnings.
