Over the weekend, the Bachchan family decked up in their traditional finery (read their favourite Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla ensembles) and headed to a family wedding.

From Amitabh and Jaya to Abhishek, Aishwarya, Shweta as well as Aaradhya, the family came out in full force to welcome a new 'beti' as the Bachchan patriarch called the new bride.

It was also the first time their own bahu Aishwarya was photographed and was at the centre of all the celebrations.

Just to give a sneak peek into the grand celebrations that took place in Mumbai, Amitabh posted some rather emotional photographs and wrote an entire blog about what transpired behind closed doors. Click 'Start Gallery' to see what happened at this grand wedding.

The celebrations that lasted a few days saw the entire family rejoicing and celebrating the arrival of the new bride. In fact, the pictures of the grand wedding soon went viral and people couldn't help but swoon over a gorgeous frame of Abhishek and Aishwarya together.

In his Tumblr blog Amitabh described it as, "Marriages are such a wonderful event in the family .. the rituals the festive occasion the relatives not seen in ages the happiness and smiles of all the songs of old and of tradition the feats and laughter the teasings and game plays with the bride and the groom .. endless .."

The welcome atmosphere...fun and games

He then added, "The festivities start days before and each moment is filled with the joys and laughter of all .. the welcome atmosphere .. the music and the dance .. the chatter and the fun ., the special eats and the traditional rituals .. each member of the elders having their say in how the ceremony needs to be conducted .. and the special clothes of tradition to be worn on each occasion .. and at the end of it all .. tired and sore throats and great togetherness .."

Amitabh pens emotional tribute to the bride

Amitabh continued, "The Father of the bride gives away his daughter to her new home .. the joy of giving .. the blessing of those that receive her .. and the additions to the family .. welcomed with tradition folk songs and gaiety ...

...And the happiness is reflected in the well wishers that come to the gates of Jalsa .. and the ever present Ef and their efforts on the art work .. the mass of fans and mobile picture selfies that abound .. life has become so rapid snd documented ..,"he shared.

A grand family get together

While Shweta Bachchan Nanda's kids as well as her hubby were missing from the event, she made up for their presence and was seen clicking pictures as she sat next to mum Jaya.

The wedding gave the Bachchans another opportunity to get together, celebrate and welcome a new 'beti' into their homes and it was an occasion that they clearly enjoyed.
