the big fat weddings...

somehow i don't like the funda of the big fat weddings..i think it is a ridiculous business for in it nobody enjoys..the family is tensed coz of the preparations and hoping and praying that everything goes well, that no relative is annoyed and all the formalities are completed and everyone goes back home pleased. the bride n the groom are sitting like idols and dnt have a clue of whats happening and desperately waiting for it to be over, the video camera can go off, the relatives can go off and they can get back into some comfortable clothings and some alone time!

the people invited come due to variuos reasons. they are the only ones who feel a little relaxed after justling through office n traffic to attend the wedding. besides this, it is a sheer waste of money. i see no point spending lakhs on decorations n food n clothes u won't wear a second time in ur life.....
i may be sounding too complaining abt all this wedding business. my mom says if we don't celebrate such occasions then what will we as a society celebrate...there will be no celebrations if everyone thinks like me!! but i don't see the point why the whole world needs to be invited to your wedding n half of the people u dnt even know or are so long lost that u fail to recognise them! if u really want a celebration u can always do it with your close family n friends who matter to u....ahh...wish someone could convince me about this shadi business...

me n some of my friends have always felt this way..now its time my peers have started getting married.i too might have this day coming soon for me.... now they have been against this big fat wedding n dowry stuff. but to my surprise they are following the same with huge grand celebrations n lotsa dowry...opps..gifts!! and they did not give much resentment saying they don't want to go against their parents coz they in turn are answerable to the society, no guy would like to go in for a court marriage and there's a difference between dreams and reality....

now m i too strong headed to not understand this society issue or m i thinking in an unrealistic world??i guess my mom n dad are going to have a tough time with me...

somebody please explain this to me......
