Our marriage was on 3rd September 1998. It was raining throughout the week and all the day. But, the rain stopped for an hour for our marriage. Dhanya's dad says that the rain stopped because they did a "thaamara nool vazhivaadu" at the Koodal Maanikyam temple which is a rain stopping pooja. To our delight, it rained the whole night!
