What do you guys think of double weddings. you know when theres 2 (or more!!!) grooms and brides. ive seen it happen alot in pakistan u know when like two brothers are getting married at the same time or even when cousins are getting married!
Re: Double Wedding!
My chacha had a double wedding for his two youngest sons in khi, you're right, i've seen it alot there. My chachi got identical shaadi & valima outfits for the two brides in different color combinations..it worked out ok...
I went to a wedding here in the US where there were **THREE **sisters getting married at the same time...tripple wedding!!!It was kind of odd...one of the grooms was a cousin, but the other two grooms were not related. One dulhan looked much, much better than the other two, you could tell her in laws were much more stylish and well off....not a big fan of this concept
Re: Double Wedding!
i know! the brides always get compared! my best freind had a similar thing. but there were FOUR brides im not joking!!! the rest of the brides were like 16, 16, and 18 and my frend was 23. and she looked waaay better than the other ones because she was from the uk n the other brides were from pk and were still schoolgirls. its not the way my frend wanted to get married but she didnt want to object as she knew how much it would cost her parents to have seperate days.
ive not really seen it happen in england much so thats why im asking woul it look wierd here?
Re: Double Wedding!
You've highlighted the main problem - the brides get compared. And it's not a nice feeling for the other bride(s) who may not look as good for whatever reason. I guess it works out cheaper so there's less of a burden on the parents, but it's still better that all of this is avoided.
This may sound a bit selfish, but it's a once in a lifetime day for the bride, and she should be able to shine without having to share the spotlight.

ya Khuda khair karay. it is horrible idea to have more than one shadi at a time.

Agreed!
Re: Double Wedding!
Its fine! People making stupid comparisons should educate themselves, respect the couples and families.
Re: Double Wedding!
I know a lot of people that don't do it because they say that the other marriage falls apart...not that i believe in that. My parents walima was joint with my chachu...and there's no video of my mom because my chachi was snobby and older and told the camera man that it should only be of her and her husband!
Re: Double Wedding!
We had a double walima! My hubby and his elder brother got married baraats were on different days as me and the other bride were not related shes my mils neice and im out of family. For the walima our outfits were the same just different colours and jewellery was similar style again the stones in the gold set matched with our suits!
I was dreading it but wasnt that bad i know we must have got compared but i felt as i looked my best and i got lots of compliments so in the end i was happy;£))
Re: Double Wedding!
OMG i seriously think ppl who have joint weddings are brave 
… Im getting married this year and i personally couldn’t stand it if there was another bride on the stage with me (being truthful)…
i think the whole lime light is taken away from atleast one of the couples which isnt right.
I understand it can be a money thing, i suppose in that case you don’t have a choice.. 
Re: Double Wedding!
If financial concerns are the reason for the double wedding, then it's understandable.
But given a choice I wouldn't have liked to share my big day with another bride.
