This is probably one of the most ridiculously histrionic posts I've seen on here, full of asinine assumptions galore. Go reread your initial response to me...it was dripping with sarcasm, and full of pointed references to what I must have or have not experienced before. But when I respond in kind, you apparently were so offended that you felt the need to write out an entire freaking whiny novel to explain why I'm a b*tchy snob. Ridiculous.
and who do you think started the trend of wearing white on valimas? it was because indian brides wanted to blend the western bride idea and started wearing white bridals to their wedding receptions. Eventually the pakistani women took note and followed.
Really...you're going to claim that Indians started the tradition of wearing white? Their nation can claim an entire color now? If you're claiming it was Indian Muslims who started wearing white on their valimas, then I'd say you have no proof other than your own (rather silly) conjecture. If you're claiming it was Indian Hindus and Sikhs, then it's clear you don't have a clue - oustide of a few cultural groups, they consider white the color of mourning and avoid it at all costs at weddings.
Also for what its worth, I'm Kashmiri and we've always traditionally worn white at our weddings.
Also i've never seen guests walking around in polyester wedding clothing, much less a bride or groom it tends to be silk even for net lenghas its silk underneath.
Then it's clear that you don't know what real silk looks like. All of the "net" and "crepe" and "chiffon" that they use in Indian bridals and formals look and feel like polyester and nylon - this is true even at high end boutiques in Delhi. I've done bridal shopping in both India and Pakistan and the difference in fabric is very evident...even relatively mid-range, non-designer Pakistani bridals wouldn't touch the kinds of fabrics Indian designers routinely use. Just so you know, looking at your friend's wedding picture, it's pretty obvious that her dupatta is made out of some sort of nylon net, and her husband's turban has the exact, obviously fake look that I've been talking about (the plastic pearls are a nice touch).
As for your opinions on gaudy embroidery - whatever, I guess not everyone can have good taste.
In your opnions then sleeveless pakistani clothing, muslim women wearing saris showing their stomachs and low cut blouses in the front and back, the trend of these newer frock like dresses that are a play from arabic kaftans are all poserish.
Sleeveless shalvar qameezes are still inherently Pakistani designs, sarees have been traditional attire among Muslim women in South Asia for decades if not centuries; and caftan qameezes are still just a play on shalvaar qameezes put forward by Pakistani designers.
On the other hand, Pakistanis who walk around in thobes and keffiyehs to show how Islamic/Arab they can be, are complete poseurs. There's a difference between innovations in style, and mindless aping.
When you give a dua and the room participates they are wishing the couple well, but how many weddings have you been to that women are still gossiping during a regular guests's speeches, toats, and duas?
Now it's clear that you have no point, and are just arguing for the sake of whining. If they aren't going to pay attention during the dua or the water toast, then what's the point of the water toast again, and how is it better than the dua?
anyhow this whole paki guys wearing turbans are taken from gasp hindu culture oh no maybe that means paki men wearing turbans are GASP posers!!!
If you bothered to think for all of 2 seconds before typing, you'd realize that turbans have been worn in the Middle East for centuries, and if anything, it was Muslim invadors who brought the custom to South Asia. I'm still reeling over the absurdity of that comment.
So is that why you think djs are tacky? because music is haram in islam and it's a muslim wedding so why hire one and bring shaitaan in the room? lol
Yet another stupid assumption. I have no problem with music and dancing at wedding. DJs blasting bollywood crap are tacky - live music is better.
maybe you're right, i don't have the money to go to nice restaurants, my friends only throw parties at chilis, t.g.i.fridays, olive garden, and savoy...darn blah blah blah...
Again, go reread your initial response where you claimed that stuffing napkins into water glasses was "classy" and was done at "fine dining" establishments, and told me "get out more" (presumably to said fine dining establishments) because I hadn't seen it. I called you out, and apparently I was right. You have no idea what fine dining is.
you hate baraats that are singing loudly and dancing bc they are happy? man you're a downer i feel bad for anyone attending your future parties as i'm sure you feel the same way towards me.
Yes, I think there should be a difference between a wedding and a circus.
plss tell me ur joking!!
Also i’ve never seen guests walking around in polyester wedding clothing, much less a bride or groom it tends to be silk even for net lenghas its silk underneath. i would not be able to find a polyester outfit here in houston unless it was a dancing costume but most moms want their kids in silk, banarsi, banidini like fabrics.
…thankfully he took that turban thing off for the rukhsati photoshoot YAAY
