The idea of an event celebrating love between two people and their hope of growing old with each other, sharing every moment of their life together is marvelous .The whole practice and ritual while tying the knot is different in each custom and culture but in the end it gives the same feeling to individuals– Being together forever. The big fat Indian weddings are always fun when cousins get together and meet after long which results in crazy bonding and sleepless nights.
The wedding days pass faster and quick that the time spent is not realized and the madness is missed later. In an Indian wedding, there are different functions like mehendi, mahira, musical night and the main event when two individual take a vow with one another. Mehendi is imprinted on the hands of the groom, bride and the guests. The embossed color looks brighter in some hands, depending on the quality used and the number of hours left for it to dry. One needs to be patient to sit and get mehendi applied; which is more like temporary tattoo. Then the next event comes along which is the musical night; all about dancing, singing, music, having fun with family and friends. The last occasion is when the couple takes a vow with each other. It is a moment that stays in their hearts eternally and forever.
During weddings all of us are dressed in the best attire with each accessory falling in place and the heels that compliment the color of the outfit. The dressing part during the wedding season is amazing but there are some who spend hours thinking what will match better with the dress. It’s how confidently one carries the attire that reflects personality. Being very particular and keeping everything detailed does not make sense because before one realizes the moment sweeps away. In a similar way, one should not spend exorbitantly for the wedding and take time for making decisions on the minor parts. The gathering should be limited and the closest should only be invited. The clothing should be comfortable and the concept of making wedding “A Show” should be stopped. It should focus on the turn that is being experienced by two individuals and families.
Especially for the bride and groom the ceremonies are so long and happen on a stretch that it gets tiresome. There are times when they can’t even remember how the big day passed by and the memories are vague. It is surprising but the bride and groom enjoy the least as they get busy on some ritual or the other. It is the same for the host and members of the family. They are busy with the last minute preparations and making everything perfect. Even if the planning and arrangements have been done months prior or it has been done by an event planner, the members of the family get puzzled throughout nights. Isn’t the occasion to celebrate love and the knot between two families? Why do we complicate it and not chose the simpler way? Why is the society still following the same method in spite of the modern thinking? Why does one bind himself with the social phenomenon?
