Heavy metal mangalyam: Meet the Tam-Brahm couple who rocked their own wedding
The Dulhan Brass Band helmed by the bride and groom, belted out heavy metal songs at their wedding
Tamil Brahmin weddings don’t usually involve song and dance, or stick to good ol' tradition if they do. Take a second, and try to fathom rockstars at a Tam Brahm wedding. Okay, now. What if I tell you the bride and groom were the rockstars at their own wedding? That’s exactly what Akshaya and Sriram, who met in Detroit and bonded over a mutual love for heavy metal music, did.
The Dulhan Brass Band, first featured on Marigold Tales, was helmed by the bride and groom and debuted to a flabbergasted audience. Draped in a traditional blue silk saree, gold jewellery and jasmine flowers in place, Akshaya was no coy bride, belting out heavy metal songs. And Sriram played the drums in a veshti. So, were the folks okay with it? “We presumptuously told them we were going to perform and they were just happy we were showing some interest with the wedding prep.”

And for tamil version: தமிழ் பிராமண திருமணத்தில் மேற்கத்திய இசையை பாடிய புதுமண தம்பதிகள்
பாரம்பரிய திருமண முறைகளை கண்ட பெரியவர்களுக்கு இது கொஞ்சம் ஆச்சரியமாகவே இருந்தது
