Re: Before you turned the lights off on your Suhag Raat
I In fact I believe that couple should have enough time (2-3 hours) where they talk to each other and learn about each other before jumping on each other like bunch of sex starved teenagers.
All that exhaustion of our wedding rituals dont leave them with the time and energy to do any of such, I think
The only way to make sure that the only talk is to exhaust them physically they will have energy to talk to each other via their eyes only.
Re: Before you turned the lights off on your Suhag Raat
HI MK !!! U WERE REALLY MISSED!!
My other question would be, do couples really turn the lights off nowadays when that time comes? I think that with the lack of sharm o haya in our society, that phrase may no longer be true.
So if a couple does it with the lights on, that's lacking sharam o haya?

but when Nana jaan is stiiting in between them till the very end because he wants to be part of every pictrure, they dont even have that 'talk through eyes' opportunity.

HI SARA. Really !!!
No its not lacking sharm o haya. what if they are doing it doing during day time?
I was just trying to throw another curve ball to boil up some of the participants
Re: Before you turned the lights off on your Suhag Raat
For me festivities are more important. not bothered about consummation. shaadi and the whole process of celebration (rishtedaar coming, halla gulla, dances, mehendi, food etc etc) is sooooo much fun that i am ready to leave consummation behind (for two days, for weeks or maybe if possible for ever)
Re: Before you turned the lights off on your Suhag Raat
if the temptation and attraction is that strong for each other then a quick shower and a nap can refresh a person right? plus what does the couple usually do the day after the suhaag raat, nothing right, so a quick nap, shower, brush and off to make sweet love............see if that works for you and your pretty dulhan and report back to us whether it worked after after :p
Re: Before you turned the lights off on your Suhag Raat
I want to keep the topic clean ... but I want to make some observations ..
Consider this (and the actual list is way longer than this)
Pre wedding make up sessions
Heavy clothes (especially of dulhan)
Long ceremonies
Photo and video shoots
Our weddings take such a toll on both dulha and dulhan that I am sure that they have very little energy (and even lesser time) left, if any to have a 'suhaag raat'. When you leave Dulha Dulhan alone at 4:00 AM in the morning, what are they gonna do but to sleep. Now I know that physical contact is not an obligation on the very first night but should that not be the most important thing?
Even if you leave them alone at 4 PM, they still dont sleep. Rather they hardly sleep much during first few days.

a quick shower on wedding night to suppress temptation! really ..
and what do they do next day? This is what they do. Larkee goes back to her house (larkay walay bring her back during breakfast time) and she spends rest of the days till Valima day, with her family (usually there is a one day gap between shadi and valima).
In fact I am glad that you brought this aspect up because the whole philosophy behind girl coming back to her home next morning is to give her a break from the sexual stress she probably went through last night (virginity loss, hymen breakup and such). That just gives another indication that our legacy protocols of wedding (larkee walay setting the date, and larkee going back home next day) designed around the belief that consummation is going to happen.
Even if you leave them alone at 4 PM, they still dont sleep. Rather they hardly sleep much during first few days.
I agree to some extent. I am sure they are excited about getting to know each other so even if they are dead tired, they may go for it. But that still does not justify the 12-14 hours hour wedding rituals, starting from bridal make up
Re: Before you turned the lights off on your Suhag Raat
does she go back the very next day??? then when do they have the honeymoon, isn't the suhaag raat the honeymoon.....if it's not then that really sux
So on Valima day, she goes back with her hubby. I think that her family brings her back to Valima venue and her hubby and his family take her back with them after the valima.
They go on honemoon after valima (not that honeymoon is required, anyways) as valima is sunnat and hoenymoon is not. :D
Re: Before you turned the lights off on your Suhag Raat
