well tulsi vivah is a marriage between tulsi and Shaligram(Krishna)..vrinda was the tulsi..she married demon king jalandhar,jalandhar was very arrongant king.
Jalandhar got a boon that he will remain immortal as long as his wife Vrinda is chaste (Pati Vrat). This made King Jalandhar declared war on other kings, demi gods and started tormenting innocent people.
Lord Vishnu in the guise of Jalandhar approached Vrinda and she mistook him for her husband.They lived like husband and wife. Soon Jalandhar was killed in a battle.later she got known that Lord Vishnu who stayed with her like her husband and made her to break the pati vrat.she got furious and she cursed Vishnu and made him turn to Shaligram(stone).
Lord Vishnu did not let Vrinda suffer for no fault of her. She was turned into a Tulsi plant and gave her the boon that she will find a place in all houses and she will be worshiped. Tulsi Vivah is performed to establish this divine relationship between Lord Vishnu and Vrinda.
