Re: Karisma Kapoor Wedding

Indian weddings are definitely not as entertaining and exciting as pakistani weddings imo !

Re: Karisma Kapoor Wedding

yea but thats coz u've never really been an integral part of an Indian Hindu wedding. And the concepts might be a bit alienating to you so the comfort factor ( religiously ) also wont be there for you. I say Hindu particularly coz i think thats what u mean as the Indian Muslim wedding would be similar or I presume so.

Its like we always feel like a Christian wedding must be so boring.. such a small ceremony. In fact we feel the same way about muslim be it Indian/Pakistani/Arab etc.. again where we feel its only qabool hai x3 times and thats it. When we saw Will +Kate wedding, it was like thats it. It was hardly for an hour max.

Before i came to this forum... I always thought that Paki weddings was only a one occasion affair which lasted for 1/2 hr . But now I know.

In any Hindu wedding, there are n number of standard functions. There is Mangni, Haldi ceremony ( boy's and girl's side) , Mehendi, Sangeet, Wedding, Reception. Now add the diff ceremonies of each and every state/caste and sub caste.

Now in my case as I am a Gujarati , there will be poojas at home on different occasions. There will be "lagan lakhavanu" ceremony before the wedding which means the pandit will come to do a pooja at home and where it will be written on a piece of paper the details of the bride and groom , which will later be used during the time of the 'pheras'. Also an imprint my my feet will be taken by my parents. My feet will be immersed in kumkum ( red powder) water and i will stand on a white cloth. This piece of cloth will always remain at my parents house as a symbol that i am always there with them as we believe the daughter is the "Lakshmi" ( wealth of the house). And she should never leave the house.

There are so many games that are played during the boy's haldi ceremony, like all the cousins tear the clothes of the groom. Also during the same time, all members of the groom's family bless him and he holds on to their kurta/sari until they give him what he wants , like money , gifts , promises.. so this is the best time for the groom to ask whatever he wants.

And the baraat, the ghodi pe chandna, the dancing and fireworks etc. Then when the groom enter the hall, he is welcomed but the bride's mother now over here his nose is supposed to get pulled by the girl's mother and its the groom's friends responsibility to stop that from happening.

During the wedding we have so many fun filled moments of games and "joota -chori" etc etc....

Also after the wedding the bride is welcomed to the house by taking again imprints of the bride's hand, feet. The there are games to be played. Etc etc.

Now add to this add that boys and girls have no restrictions to not be in the same place and most wedding have alcohol ( yea) factor as well . So its like double dhamaal.

I don't mean to change your opinion in anyway but I just thought it would be good to share.

Re: Karisma Kapoor Wedding

^ P.S : I think Karisma Kapoor's wedding was a Punjabi-Sikh wedding. So of course their ceremonies are diff to that of a Punjabi-Hindu wedding.

Their functions.ceremonies include :

Preparations at Home
Departure of the Braat
Arrival at the Gurdwara
Performing Ardas
The Milni
Entering the Gurdwara
Reading of the Lavans
Conclusion of the Religious Function
Well Wishes from All
Aftermath

Re: Karisma Kapoor Wedding

How does Karishma Kapoor's wedding becomes a representation of all Indian weddings?

Be it Pakistani or Indian, you never get to see raw entertainment, energy and 'family fun' at such high profile weddings. They're just super lavish with very conscious and formal guests. High profile weddings are too organized, disciplined and diverse in guests to provide much fun. You guys can look at some of the weddings of the offspring of Pakistani politicians and rich businessmen to get an idea.

I've seen plenty of videos of utterly pretty yet very boring Pakistani weddings. In fact sometime I feel whether Pakistani weddings are actually losing their flavour or something.
