What is so strange about that? It is reasonable to expect people to compare the brides if they are going to have a joint wedding. In this case there were two brothers getting married. But even if the grooms and brides were not related to one another…people would STILL compare the brides if they’re both sitting in the same room.
No, I wouldn’t want to share my wedding day with anyone. Most brides wish to stand out on their special day. You’re the star of the show. And it’s hard to stand out…when you’re sharing the spotlight with someone else. And the desi audience can be pretty tactless with their comments when there is ONLY ONE bride to look at…why make it even more easier for them by putting two brides before them?
If you wanna share your special day with someone…share your birthday. But other events such as graduations…weddings…haqeeqas…keep em separate.
