well this is the funny thing. A lady saying i can’t do dua coz its in Arabic. i found this extreme thinking coz even in periods u can read darood n make dua to Allah. doesn’t hav to recite Quran.
As for the Punjabi lady 
seriously it was a new concept n believe me ALL of the guests n host r themselves pure punjabi. but everybody just held their laughs.
the husband might hav been upset coz all the mutual friends pulled his leg n wife was upset coz she didn’t find it was any reason to ridicule her. My guessing.
