Re: Anyone Else unable to entertain the notion of a desi wedding?
Looking to get married, but inevitably there will be a wedding involved at some point, the mere notion of having a desi wedding with your spouse wearing a red dress, you in a suit/sherwani and all the “hungama” that goes along with a wedding just makes me feel naseous,
I would rather jump off a cliff than have a big desi wedding, I wonder how long it will take me to find someone/family that doesn’t want a massive hungama wedding and just wants a civilised nikkah with no shor sharaba.
Ours was relatively simple. We pulled off everything with 1/10 of what I’ve heard some people pay to have their weddings. The biggest expense by far was the food.
One memorable wedding in my mind is the one of the local molvi where I used to live, the reception was literally a dinner, people came, ate dinner and left. No shor, no hungama, just like it should be. Plenty of people were invited to that too.
Oh, and NO silly costume for the groom, not sure about the bride as it was segragated.
That’s pretty much what we did.
