Have you seen people do speeches in weddings in Pakistan?

have you ever been to a wedding that had a gori bride/groom and pakistani groom/bride?
what was it like? what events did they do??
and did they go over the top with their functions?

thanks
did they do mix ups? putting western stuff in it or just pakistani

Re: question question questions

I'd say yes to ushers, not sure about speeches. Depends on the type of family, it can be a bit awkward having speeches sometimes. Personally I wouldn't have it, but it depends on how traditional the wedding is and what events are happening on the day.

Re: question question questions

I don't see it being very traditional and I don't really need speeches but I am aiming to make it a fun and memorable wedding since I've only been to 4 my entire short life.. and they were all unique in their own way.

how much are ushers anyway?
and for a nice hall in a hotel how much would that cost in Karachi?

Re: question question questions

speeches are only worth it if they will be good - Ive seen some amazing ones that lifted the whole event and Ive seen awful ones where everyone has sat cringing so choose wisely!

i think they key to avoiding bad speeches is making sure the person prepares and practices!!

Ushers always a good idea - I suppose its a job usually done by family members which in our culture always makes the event more personal.

Been to many mixed weddings... usually asian culture is the more dominant one and the ones ive been to food and outfits are always asian. The size of events just depend on individual families - some are quiet and others have normal full on events. Unless the girl is asian i notice a big mehndi is usually skipped with a small mayoon type thing at home for the guy.

Re: question question questions

Well by Asian lol you mean desi because I'm japanese and australian and I don't think I'll be serving 500 guests sushi or pies for that matter XD

but I get what you mean I thought so too at first but I want it to be eventful for both of us and I want his first and last wedding to be memorable for him and me.

I recently came across this mixed wedding trailer which I really liked Rabya and Alex Highlights | ShaadiVideo.co.uk on Vimeo

Re: question question questions

thanks!

Re: question question questions

^^ a Japanese desi? your urdu is pretty good for a Japanese.

Re: question question questions

LOL
not desi at all.
I'm Japanese and Australian (caucasian).
my SO however is Pakistani so it would be interesting how our children will turn out like.

I don't think my Urdu is good at all but I'm hoping it'll improve once I'm in Pakistan.
