Mangalore, October 28: Panambur beach which otherwise echoes innocent laughters, silent walks and waves kissing the shores, on Thursday echoed vedic chants as Jecintha Essling Wintzer (37), a native of Bong Town in Liberia and Wolfram Essling Wintzer (37) of Moers city in Germany entered wedlock here.

The two entered the new phase of their life in a typical Hindu traditional wedding wherein the groom tied the 'Mangalsutra' around the bride's neck and the two walked the seven steps of marriage-'Sapthapadi' uttering the seven oaths of togetherness in front of the 'Agnikunda' during the auspicious 'Godhooli lagna'.

When the tunes of the percussions penetrated the air, the roaring ocean too seemed celebrating the union of the couple who had been in love for the last 10 years.

Hundreds of tourists who thronged at Panambur beach from various locations to enjoy their holiday had a surprise wedding to attend in their loose track suits and T-Shirts.

Jecintha and Wolfram are archaelogists and the two had supposedly decided to culminate their courtship into marriage right on their first date. While the two were committed to enter wedlock, the only thing they had decided to leave it to destiny was the date of their wedding.

The close acquaintance of the couple, Dr Anjanadevi and Harish Parala, the couple hailing from Dakshina Kannada but settled in Germany suggested Jecintha and Wolfram to marry in Hindu tradition. Taking the suggestion seriously, the two came down to India and gave shape to the plan.

“The very idea of Indian marriages is very fascinating. It is full of colours and flavours. I was excited about the plan when my friends Anjana and Harish told me about Indian marriages. Hence, we decided to marry according to Hindu tradition,” Wolfram said.

Though Wolfram had never seen any Indian wedding in the past, he opted to directly experience it himself.

“It is something very nice and I love to be a part of the beautiful culture of this land,” said Jecintha.

In fact, the couple had registered their marriage in Germany on October 8. A total of 30 people, including the couple's parents, relatives and friends from Germany and Australia were present to solemnise the traditional wedding.
