WEDDINGS...!!!

Here, in India wedding are really funny events. If your wondering why i say that... well its simple really..
and before i say anything else people, please understand that i love these wedding as much as i hate them.. after all i'm a part of this culture. whatever i'm saying down here is just an opinion, not pointing fingers at anyone. i love the whole works and someday my wedding will also be the big Indian wedding and i'l also b the tired bride... hehe... so i'm not judging anyone here.
 
According to me the day people get married is suppose to be about the two people who are essentially the bride and the groom. but somehow they are the two people who enjoy this day the least. the bride is all decked up with ghaghra (skirts) which weigh like 1 or 2 kgs at times( i'm not kidding by the way) and then the jewelry .. it's like the bride is mannequin of some jewelry store.. i mean does she really need all that 'decoration'?? Isn't beauty skin deep.??? and the groom, poor guy is so busy attending to relatives, picking people from the airport and talking people shopping that he doesn't really get the time to relax before his big day...even on his big day he is pretty tired..


I'm gonna take a break here.... gotta go for a wedding..:D will come back and continue...:D (9:15 pm)


okay its 1:23 am now.. i'm back from the wedding.. well i was back at 12 am only but its now that i've finally gotten around to completing this post.so here goes..


yes the groom is more tired than any one else. and then comes the big day. you know nothing in the wedding right from the venue to the date to the food is of the choice of the bride and the groom. the venue is decided based on where people can be accommodated and of course the social standing of the family. the date is either set depending upon the shubh muhurat ( astrologically good dates) or when the venue maybe available..:D okay i should probably not say this here but hey ever think about the poor girl who isn't able to enjoy her wedding or her honeymoon because no one asked her if those days were good for her.. sheesh..... and the food .. ahh.. the food is always about what the people would think is good, its not about the groom liking paneer khofta or the bride liking the double ka meetha... oh nooo.. its all about the guests... its a wedding for god sakes, its not the opening of a restaurant where the customers preference matter more..


the best part is still yet to come.. we hardly ever attend a wedding because we actually wanna be a part of the couple's happy day.. WE attend these weddings for the food.. oh the yummy food... well i partly do the same.. and that is why i've decided that i'm actually gonna invite very few people.. why bother with the rest when all they want is food.. hahahaha.... the poor JUST married couple sit on the stage, the center of attraction with every one staring at them and all they do is stand and click pictures with every random person. now i really don't know the need for that either. as if i need a picture with my mom's sister's son's wife's family friend... do i even know the guy?? hell no.. but picture hell yeah.... 


and by the time this whole charade ends its almost 2 in the night and the couple is only thinking of sleeping, and this on their first night together ... poor things... and its not like they get to go on the honeymoon soon after... nope... there are times when these poor couples don't leave for a honeymoon for weeks.. oh and yea there is the whole no honeymoon part too.. so what i fail to understand here is how the hell is this a celebration for the couple, they get nothing... except the whole spending life together n forever n all that...


so for me Indian weddings are all drama though i love the getting dress up and going for the wedding bit hehe.... oh and the yummy food.. so keep the weddings going people.. :D


good night from me now.. have another wedding to go to this weekend.. :)
