in our weddings.... the sit down, serve u situation doesnt work..... coz its Sunnah of Hazoor (P.B.U.H) to taste/eat little of everything the host has served..... so when they go to try everything in little.... the plate is heaped!! ..... menu cards dont work that well...... plus i dont think desi halls serve it that way...... not sure coz no on in my family is married.
Consider yourself blessed: at the weddings I attend, you'd think it was Sunnah to waste a "little of everything the host has served"; people kick and push each other for the right to pile their plates up with food that largely goes untouched.
yupp..... they even drink coffee in the bank for no reason..... just coz it doesnt have a cost!!!
Sweetie, everyone does that when confronted with free coffee (even if they're allergic to caffeine)!
all the desi weddings I have gone to ..... I have never seen any rush to food... ppl actually wait in line for their turn. there is no rush anywhere.... there is no one dancing on the stage either.... its never crowded. i have yet to see a crowded stage wedding!!!
Seriously, can we switch our summer social calenders? I'd like to get through one wedding where I'm not being poked in the back with a plate because some aunty thinks the buffet line's not moving fast enough. Same with the stage thing: I'd like to go to one wedding where I'm not expected to jump onstage and have my picture taken with the bride, like she's some national landmark. Lucky!
