i married after residency to a guy from Sydney, Australia (of pakistani origin). our combined friends/family are ll over the globe .. never mind the country. His immediate family and a lot o my extended family is in pk … so thats where the wedding parties were held…

nikkah - super small and intimate and the BEST event that i wouldn’t change a thing in. it was held on the west coast (where my family resides) and none of my friends from the east coast (where i went to med school and trained for residency) were able to attend due to time/work constraints.

6months later in pakistan

henna - almost didnt have that … we (husband and I) dont really get the significance of this event … but his family wanted it. My family was fine either way

Honestly … for me the whole wedding events stuff is wayyyyyy overarted … i just wanted most of it to be over ASAP. spending 3+ hours getting “ready” for a sit and smile session is not my idea of fun.

I forget that for the bride it IS just a sit and smile session for the most part. I LOVE wedding events but that’s mostly because I’m the one dancing/singing/having a good time. Obviously, it’s different for my own.

Yeah the different coast thing is causing changes in our wedding plans too but I think you’re right that it’s probably better!
