Re: The most lavish and extravagent wedding you've been to.
Oh my do I have a wedding to tell about! Many years ago I went to a wedding where a Indian Muslim was marrying a gori convert and both families are wealthy. They had their wedding in this huge hall with high ceilings that could seat 1,000 people, no joke!The tables had skinny large vases with ovreflowing floers which were all real. (flowers aren't cheap!) Before dinner they had a harp player play a few songs and then after dinner they had a lady in a ball gown do opera!! Imagine how the desi crowd felt! One of the grooms friends sang a song as well accompanied by live musicians. It felt too over the top and Americanized. For dinner they made us choose between lamb and chicken and had waiters come to our table to serve it so there was no buffet. I don't remember what appetizer or starter they had before the main dish but that was served to us right before the main dish by waiters dressed professionally. Every table had their own disposable camera that we were to take pictures from then leave on the table for them to develop. (they later sent us one pic from it) After the wedding was over and we were in our car privately, my Mom told us how she disliked everything, especially since the wedding didn't feel like a desi one at ALL. Even though it was different and interesting and I enjoyed it, I would prefer a traditional Pakistani/Indian wedding any day. Now ours is a unique one!

what do u mean by qismat?
to unsab ki kismat khrab hai jinke paas pese nahin hain jo apni betiyon ki shadi sadgi mein karte hain! ya woh kartehi nahin kyounke woh ghareeb hai aur gurbat ki wjah c koi rishta nahin ata?
do they have bad qismat!?!
dats what i call richi wanna be!
im sorry!
this so much money u give out of on a wedding just for showing up how rich u r the half of this money u can give this money to the ppl who are worried abt how their daughters will get married!
you've completely missed my point- if you are someone who's just dying to be rich, then your non-rich qismat is going to seem buri qismat to you, isn't it?? all i'm saying is, it IS qismat how *wealth*y you are- Allah decides that before you are even born- so no, its not all about them wasting their money and showing off and blah blah blah. its their qismat that they happened to be so rich and could throw such a lavish wedding. me? i was also commenting on your comment of "no wonder poor people die early" which is a ridiculous thing to say, frankly. how and when you die and in what state are also all qismat as well. maybe your chances of living a healthier life are higher if you can afford 3 meals a day but then plenty of people who do eat 3 meals a die, die of heart attacks too. saying poor people die early because there are rich people in this world who spend $1.5 million on wedding is ridiculous!
