The Namesake

Within a year of dating, Gogol and Moushumi get married in New Jersey in a ceremony that is almost entirely planned and managed by their parents. Gogol had proposed to her by presenting her with the expensive hat that she had tried on during their first date. Much of Moushumi's wedding garb had been purchased for her canceled wedding to Graham. On the morning of their wedding, Gogol gets ready quite quickly and Moushumi, on the other hand, has many more preparations in terms of her appearance. The ceremony is huge and overwhelming, exhausting to both of them. After the wedding, they open their presents together in the hotel room. Moushumi has decided to keep her own last name, since she has already begun to publish writing under her maiden name.
