Re: Is the close bride and groom dance accepted in your local society?
Forget that, I just watched that video again and cried. It's such a sad and heart warming video. When the sister cries and hugs her brother and bhabhi comes and pats her head in an affectionate motherly manner and when the new dulhan touches his deceased parents photo. Very emo video and the song is very affective. Sigh.

Re: Is the close bride and groom dance accepted in your local society?
I asked my dad about this and he said he wouldn't mind if we did.. have been to a couple of weddings where the couple danced but it's not that common amongst the ppl we know and they are quite liberal. I think like someone already mentioned the elders can get a bit funny about it but ppl our age would love it.. I think that video is really sweet..
Nooo its not.. even i dont accept it, sooo westernized and awkward as** well to dance infront of the whole mass.**
Yeh tell me about it, and considering a person like me whose so shy that she doesn't eat in front of other people and when she talks in front of people.. people tell her to talk a bit louder I am going to be shaking from my knees and literally clinging if I had to do that lol.
i would love to...but my granny would smack me...and thats no kool infront of all the guests :( hahaha!!
LOL!! haha thats funny..awww but the vid is soooo sweeet! n so what if shes clinging to him, shes earned the right to, shes his wife after all!! they seem like a couple so much in love n really comfortable with each other.. bless :D
I personally find it awkward maybe because I have never seen in actually happen in the weddings I have gone too. In my local society it would be a total no-no from the older generations, I can just imagine all the **** people would say, but I am pretty sure most of the younger generation would want a dance similiar to this if they were allowed.
I just hope I am never at a wedding were they start a slow dance with my dad he would just and probably think the world is coming to an end
Re: Is the close bride and groom dance accepted in your local society?
i've never seen it happen at any of the weddings i've been to in pakistan but its becoming more common at the weddings i've been to here (uk) especially if it was a love marriage the couple usually do a dance on the walima, even the ones with quite conservative parents/families. i personally dont have an issue with it and think its quite sweet actually but im not sure if i'd do it myself since id feel too shy lol
I was watching this vid and it made me think, if ever a bride and groom got up to do dance like that in one of our pathan weddings... well, they wouldn't bcos it would be unthinkable! (lol). I don't think any of the ma n pa generation in our local society here in the uk would ever accept it. However I think some of the younger ones may.
How about you guys, is it normally acceptable? Did u dance like that or would you not at your wedding?
These are my close friends.
As far as I know, noone at their valima was narrow minded enough to create a drama out of a couple dancing. It was a sweet moment where they shared a dance, and even more so because the groom got very emotional since both his parents have passed away. The hug you mentioned at 3:15 is one of those moments where he got really, really sad.. but he's so blessed to have a wife who is beyond caring and wonderful.
