Food
Who can resist mouthwatering dishes laid out on the tables, especially at an Indian wedding? Food always plays a key role in the Big Fat Indian Wedding, and connects directly to the hearts of the guests (through the tummy!).
Emotions and unity
All weddings are about love. It’s important we all remember that love keeps us together and love carries us through difficult times in life. Taking the reference from a popular movie, love makes life beautiful!
Weddings are about family unity too. Though the couple is in the limelight for most of the marriage rituals, wedding unknowingly bring together families and friends. The striking feature of Indian families is their close-knit bonding, so it’s no wonder that wedding are considered so important. From the maternal uncles who buy the bride’s wedding outfit, to the moms who plan and decorate, to the cousins who run around, there is part to play for every family member.
Events
Indian weddings are never a one day affair. Whether the family chooses to have the other events be family only or on a small scale, an Indian wedding is several days long. In all religions we take our wedding customs seriously, and that means a lot of festivities.
If you are invited to most of the wedding festivities like the Mehndi or the Haldi ceremony, you won’t regret attending!
Color
The rich designer suits, the studded jewelry and the brilliant décor is enough to make your eyes pop out ! Men, bring out the royalty in your suits, and ladies, don’t be afraid of being too colorful. There really is no such thing in Indian weddings!
Culture
Ultimately the Indian culture is what ties you the country and its ways….because it is comparable to none! Respect for elders and care for Nature are just a few of the best lessons that can be learnt in an Indian wedding.
