Re: Crazy weddings
You have have all fun without spending fortune on wedding. Thats what we do. Main attraction in our family is everyone coming together. Staying home for 3-4 days having fun. endless stories etc.
I am totally against throwing lavish parties, having 2k-3k dresses etc and my begum too hates all this. She agreed to even have heavy wedding and valima dress coz my MIL nai baree qasmeen deen theee ro ro ker :)
Re: Crazy weddings
weddings should be nice, simple, elegant, and memorable. sometimes the amount of money u spend doesn't really benefit that. and seriously...10 day weddings?
Re: Crazy weddings
i think if u can afford, u should have all the celebrations let it be 10 days or 20 :@:

Yes, but only between husband and wife.
To be honest I dont understand the phenomena behind so many dholkis 2-3 months in advance. Some people have done it in my family and most of these weddings have ended up with divorce. Personally, I wouldn’t want to get a bit carried away with the 3 month in advance dholkis and stuff. A mehndi, nikkah, wedding and reception should be enough. I’d rather have an extravagant mehndi,wedding and reception compared to 3 months of silly meaningless parties.
Re: Crazy weddings
Can someone tell me whats the difference between a mayoun and a mehndi when BOTH events are held in halls with lots of guests and the bride dresses up like a bride?
Almost all wedding planners in India now have contacts with bollywood stars/singers/dancers or whatever… Inviting celebs to your wedding (who don’t know u and don’t really give a damn about ur wedding) is becoming quite common these days… And these celebs, as u can imagine, charge tens of lakhs!
Now THATS gayness!
But if a bride wants a nice lehenga by HSY, thats not gayness, she just wants to look her best on her big day… though religiously speaking, the simpler the better… And I think everyone knows that, so after that, its up to them what they choose to do…

Re: Crazy weddings
i am one of those people who prefer their weddings to be done in mosque with close friends and family.
i personally dont like months and months preparation of wedding. not only it disturbs your home environment but also i could have charity that money, and go on a world tour.
ive seen some simple weddings in our community, and these folks are generally from well off backgrounds.
The mendhi is held a few days/ a week early, but the actual ceremony will take place in a mosque, its generally an open invitation to anyone in the community, but special folks get specific invites. After speeches/recitations/ nikah, the walima is served straight away and it is always the one main dish of biryani with salad. Some have a private cake cutting ceremony/traditions afterwards...and boxed gifts are generally avoided in favour of cash.
I think that is as simple as it gets.

These are extreme cases.
The point here is the extravagance, lavishness and long celebrations that have become a norm in weddings. I'm trying to make sense of that.
exactly what i like. :k:

Everyone wears a different dress on these two occasions. Thats all I know. :)
