Sis, whose wedding happened first, Shiv Shakti or Vishnu Lakshmi? I just cannot understand the timelines in Hinduism 😭
Technically speaking from what I know, it could be Shiv Shakti since Mata Parvati was his wife during the Halahal episode, which happened directly after Vishnu Lakshmi Vivah.
But I do not know if this was a retrospective thing before Goddess Shakti took birth as Sati or after her birth to Himachal in this timeline and her official marriage to Shivji. If it is a retrospective thing, then even Lakshmi Narayan were married before Durvasa cursed the Devas and Mata Lakshmi was forgotten by them.
In that sense, both were married since the beginning of the timeline, the Goddesses were later forgotten and remarried their husbands, but in what order I do not know.
Lakshmi Narayan married when the universe was infant, a while after Manu's prahlay (first major event of this timeline) after which Samudra Manthan happened.
The Devas were cursed to forget Goddess Laxmi, the Asuras never knew her to begin with, and when she emerged from Samudra and they all wanted to marry her, she went ahead and put a garland around Lord Vishnu.
Yet I cannot say this was the first marriage because Goddess Sati's family already existed back then so it might be possible she did aswell.
As of Shiv Shakti, Devas and Daityas are technically Goddess Parvati's nephews because they are all her sister's children (from when she was Sati) and Devas existed before Sati Married Shiv so again, I do not know.
So yeah, in the true sense, they were always married. Speaking linearly in which order they married again, this time for the world to see, It is hard to know.
Maybe a mutual who has read the purans can brush up on this?
