I went to a wedding last night, which was of two brothers. This ofcourse meant there were two brides. But what i found very strange was that all the conversations around me revolved around comparing the brides! which one looked prettier, thinner, wearing nicer clothes or jewelry, some even went to the extent of swapping the brides to make better couples according to them!
My question is is it ok or fair to have two couples wed on the same day? would you want to share your wedding day with another couple?
i shared my nikah and engagement with my sis :) we didnt mind tho, cos we dont like being centre of attention! we're not planning on sharing our wedding tho! i wanna enjoy her wedding & she wants to enjoy my wedding.
Oh my god that just sounds terrible. I cud neva have shared my wedding day with any1 else except my hubby. I havnt got a sister. Maybe if i wud have had 1 i might have felt differently but i doubt it!
Double weddings used to be fairly common back in our parents' days when people were simpler and money was tight. But they didn't sit there and compare the brides though. I think in today's times, one couple per wedding is the way to go.
oh i have noticed that too..and i hate it when people compare two couples.. me and my brother were supposed to get married just a day apart, thank God, that didn't happen. My wedding was delayed for some unforseen reasons. :)
lol @ gemini....
omg nooree thats terrible! but I guess there is no way to stop people from doing this comparing? I see the pros of sharing a wedding can be that its more economical, possibly more fun (more relatives attending?) but then again it can be a con for a girl that wants all the attention on her on the wedding day.
It could be made into a very unique and fun even with the right creativeness ...with the photo shoots and all i guess...
I got married on same day as my elder sis..we have 2 years dif in terms of age...neways to cut a long story short we had 1 filmaker who from our end that made like a double video...
a year after the wedding my sis divorce with her husband for certain reasons but as a result of this after 4 years now of my marriage i cant bring myself to watch my wedding movie whole heartledy as i feel guilt for having married on the same day as my sis n vice versa as she feels responsible for making me feel uneasy abt watchn my wedding movie cos her n her ex are in it. In terms of this when u luk to the future u dnt know what might happen hence its best not to get married on the same day else u dnt want to feel guilty watchin your own wedding movie... i mean when my kids ask me if they wana watch my movie what am i guna tel em who was that guy n etc....i regret having married on same day and wud suggest if u wana enjoy ur wedding day cater it so that its only for u n ur hubby/wife...u dnt want to live to regret it though it may seem sweet n lovely at the time...n we were always compared so i know how awkward i felt when we used to get feedback on the wedding.
i agree with nazneen u never know whats gona happen, every girl has her own kismat, for example my two cousin sisters got married at the same day, now one sis have 4 kids and the other sister dont have any and everyone always comparing them together and thats the thing, campareson makes it realize one person whats missing. Life time ke leyeh hamesha dhemak me reta hai ke they got married together, and shadi is one of the biggest event in everyone's life that no one will ever farget.
i wanna be the centre of attention!
