Re: Is the close bride and groom dance accepted in your local society?
Well, I think everyone would either faint or be seriously put off even if I put the suggestion up for consideration. It would be as frowned upon as sleeveless outfits and dances at mehndi where my family is concerned. I haven't seen or even heard of a couple dancing at their wedding in Karachi, yet.
BTW, a big chunk of people are still having arranged marriages, where the couple isn't even supposed to interact fully before their marriage. So, how can they have a choreographed dance out of the blue at their wedding?
But if one wants to add a few of these touches to their wedding, like cake cutting and couple dancing, they seem more appropriate for the Valima and not for the actual Nikkah/wedding day, IMHO.
