Rasms-whats the purpose?

Hello all

Was watching a cousin’s wedding film a couple of weekends ago and suddenly began to question:

1. why is the groom given a watch, especially when he already has one
2. why is his brother and father also recipients of watches?

Is it because they were late to the baraat!

Personally,I have come to realize all these “rasm” are useless and crap, all this “lain dain” etc is bad but since it is sooo deeply ingrained in our culture that people try hard to defend such non sense. It is sad since we are also the holders of “muslim” title.
