Breakfast at 8? Unless the guy is planning to go to work the day after the wedding, I doubt anyone wants the new couple to have their breakfast so early. Its usually full time *ayashi, cz the couple wakes up whenever they want - past 10 am, usually. The bride then goes away because she has to get ready for the valima that night and has appointment with the beauty saloon. The groom, lucky guy, catches up on his sleep.
End result.. the groom is hashaas bashaas during valima, while the bride is trying to hide her yawns and is longing for a chewing gum.
^ Actually they have no choice. They are tortured to get up at 8 because of all the commotion in the house when moti moti aunties are trying to get ready for the walima next day and trying to get ready all their kids and what not Young girls (teeangers) are eager to break the door and get into bride’s bedroom to listen to what happened last night
PCG I dont see what u find weird or distasteful abt the tradition. Its a transition from one family to another. I bet the whole wedding festivities would have been overwhelming enough for the girl. Best she be allowed to rest up in a familiar environment and come to terms with what happened. What's the harm? Look at it logically, a wedding is usually the highpoint of the pakistani culture. Actually, any girl no matter where she might be coming from would have dreamt of the perfect wedding. Coming down from that high, it cannot be expected that she be plunged into the PR and whatnot of normal mundane in-law dealings. Normally all the relatives on the in-laws side would be overenthusiastic at that time. That can get stifling/scary. Better she be given a reprieve in the sanctuary of her own bedroom. To relax, go over some nine memories of the Shadi. I know I love the privacy of my bedroom. I can remain locked in there for days on end at times if I were given the opportunity. And as you mentioned already, if they get home so late, you think they are going to get any worthwhile talking done? Or anything else if its arranged? Or even if its not? In the morning the bride and groom wouldnt have had time together as is, because people would be all over the couple. So whats the harm I ask you?

heres the stupidest marriage ritual imo. some lady (not the mother) from the larki walay has to accompany the girl to the larka's place, spend the night there, and come back with the girl.
breakfast is brought to the dulha’s house. dulha and dulhan eat it, and afterwards they bring that breakfast back to the dulhan’s house to ‘offload’ it there
wudn’t it be wise to have the dulha(n) come over and have breakfast at the dulhan’s?
