    The room itself was grand and ancient, with walls of rough hewn stone, polished granite floors, and a ceiling as high as ten men. There were eight long tables, the shortest on a raised dais along the far wall, and seven more set orthogonal to the first and extending to the entry. Sheaves of wheat and sprays of spring blooms adorned the walls, and cornucopias spilled fruits, nuts and candies onto each table. There were dancers, at least a dozen of them, draped loosely in silks of gold and rich green, ribbons of fabric that swayed as they swayed, dipped as they dipped, and fluttered about them as they spun. Along walls and in corners, on tables and among revelers, they danced in time to a rhythmic tune—singly and in pairs and trios, all moving with an agile grace, seducing guests with limber acrobatics and inviting smiles.…

    In a Catholic marriage ceremony leaving the ordinary occurs when the wedding parties enter the Church and are greeted by the priest and continues after the bride walks down the aisle through to the opening prayer. In comparison the Hindu ceremony leaving the ordinary consists of the Vara Satkaarah and Achamana where the wedding parties arrive, are welcomed, escorted in and prayers to Gods are completed (Hindu Wedding, 2014). Though they have similar ideas the way they are executed are different, as the time taken to leave the ordinary is longer in Hinduism.
