Wait, I’m a bit lost on this concept of “entertaining.” I wasn’t aware people went to weddings expecting to be actively entertained as in “stage show” type entertainment. I’ve actually never come across this at the weddings I’ve attended.

Isn’t getting together with people you don’t see on a regular basis and talking and mingling entertaining?

That’s what I thought as well, the wedding in itself is the entertainment of the night. But some posters have raised the point that they expect to be entertained/entertain their guests at the event.

I also think sometimes people bring to the forefront stuff that should be in the background. Slideshows (unless there’s some speech/sound portion to it), singing songs at a mehndi, feeding the bride/groom sweets and various rasams like that, etc, that stuff can happen WHILE people are doing other things (like eating their dinner). Performances, speeches, they require focused attention from a central audience, but then people need to be conscious of the time.

I think it’s a lovely idea to keep the slideshow playing in the background, even if it has to be on repeat. But from what I’ve seen personally it’s something that you have to pay attention to. It’s the 10 minutes of entertainment, and then moving on to something else.
