The Wedding Season

In Pakistan, the wedding season starts with the beginnning of winters. This time the winter season started early so did the wedding season. When you come out on the weekend, you will be shocked rather surprised to see the weddings around. It seems the whole city is getting married.

Each year after attending weddings of 'others', I think that there will be lesser weddings next year. But the same situation appears next year. I mean what the hell.....I dont understand from where these hundred of bachelors come out, jam-pack the markets, force tailors to delay other innocents people's dresses, awake us forcefully till the morning, try to make us deaf with the horrible sounds of crackers and the pathetic orchestra of gali mahalla bands, block the roads and celebrate their weddings. wah wah. It's YOUR wedding. Why do you make the whole suffer? I especially hate delays on wedding functions. People have to starve literally until lunch or dinners are served.

This year, we have attended five weddings in our family and friends. Three more are to come. I have become bored of all these typical styled weddings. Why don't people try some innovative stuff in these boring functions?

The weddings look like a drama or film for me now. And the bride and groom....oh God....the most pathetical creature in the wedding functions. Same chamkeeli girlish embroidered sherwanis and kullas.....and the brides who look more like a gola gunda than a bride.

 

See youself, do  they look naa? :D

The bride and groom are focal points. wesay I wonder why do they look so innocent and stupid on their weddings. See!

Hehe sorry haan.........dont know whether they are really innocent or they pose so. OK fine I know I will be lined up one day with these monkeys.....errrrr......I mean Monkey :D. One thing I really like that bride and groom sit on the stage and start collecting money. Wowwww....I dont know who had invented this tradintion but this is the only thing I like most. Everyone likes making money :P . The guests should present more and more money to the couple because expenses remain greater than the actual earning in the name of 'salami'.

On last wedding function, I was thinking that all brides look same in their bridal get-ups. Same dress, same make up and same jewelry. At night I did some search about the brides around the world. Interestingly, or I should painfully that bechari brides are every where treated with heavy makeups, jewelry and dresses than their grooms. Why this discrimination?

Khair. I tried to find out bridal traditions in different parts of the world, especially in Muslim world. Some brides look really sophisiticated, some look funny, some really decent and impressive and some look a prey to their traditions. Let's have a look of them:
