Weddings are so hilarious.
Half the people don’t even know what they are doing there. Fake smiles everywhere. Loads of Hi’s and Hello’s to people you meet everyday, and frosted smiles towards those you have never seen before in your life. And if you keep your ears open, you can actually hear people bitch about each other. Mostly old bats.
And then, somebody ( smiling, of course) comes and says – “Food is served.” and there is a mad rush. And then everybody’s done eating, and it’s time to leave. Provided you are done ogling at the girls. More smiles.
I feel sorry for the bride and groom. Poor things. They have to undergo a night of masochistic rituals, all in the name of tradition. Face it, it’s so friggin tedious!!
I wish I can get a DJ to come scratch some vinyl at my wedding. ( Yeah, fat chance! My mother would get hysterics)
Yeah, yeah, I know. Purists would say it’s all part of Indian culture, it happens only once in one’s lifetime, etc etc. Big deal! A wedding is supposed to be memorable, that’s it. A couple of good friends around, people you actually know, instead of the WHOLE LOT – yeah, that’s what rankles me – weddings turn out to be such a public affair, what’s the point of inviting the guy only because he lives next door, or someone because you got introduced to him through a friend…or someone who works with you but you don’t know him at all. I think why people do it is – (a) It’s kind of inbred in one’s mind, oh, what will he think if I don’t invite him? And the reverse, oh, he didn’t invite me, what a tragedy! The perfect Indian mental condition. (b) Wish fulfilment, “oooh! Look at me, I am getting married, and th erest of you sodding lot are still single!” ( Actually, I think this is how Bridget Jones thinks ), and of course, (c) More gifts.
I bet this sounds harsh and un-Indian, but well, I am pissed off, and I can’t help it. I think I will edit this a little tomorrow.
If I ever wed (note that the chances stand at 0.01%), I’ll have an LotR themed wedding. One Ring and everything. =D
note that the chances stand at 0.01%
Yeah, yeah, that’s what they all say!
No, seriously. XD I’m too much anti-marriage. For many reasons.
*ogles Eowyn*
… Reason enough? XD
Yeah I fail to understand why the whole world is invited! and the hundreds and thousands and lakhs and crores of money spent (wasted) on the klothes! phew!
FOOD and ogling at
girlsguys are the wonly 2 ok reasons for me to drag myself to attend a wedding.Nowadays I have started hatng even the food and gals aspect of weddings. I seem to have so many things to do, and an occasional wedding just adds to the feeling that “my time is being wasted!”
i find the socializing part the most tiring. the fake smile, small talk.. arghhhhh!
True, very true. But I suppose girls have to be adept at this socialising business. My sis is pretty good at all the fake-smile-dainty-manners business.
no way! i usually escape frm all the small talking business coz everyone thinks i’m oh-such-a-quiet girl. lol.
but i think guys small talk more than girls. and the fake smile business is sex-less :))
:-))
I guess you might say ALL guy-talk is small-talk. And I would agree.
hehe. ya frm how much i know. guy-talk revolves around games, cars, music … sprinkled with chicks. and then back to their true love – games.
ooh… and i can’t stand making polite conversation to old aunties and uncles who you dont quite remember, and you are dying to wipe off that stupid grin, and they come up with those cliched lines tell “i saw you when you were “this” small… and look how big you’ve grown!” ugh!
A friend of mine did something that was quite rude and cool at the same time – Some aunty was saying “I held u when you were *this* small.” and he said – “yeah, yeah, i remember. I peed on your clothes.”
:-))
A small meaningful wedding rocks!!! definitely my next one!;)
Hear hear!!!
I think traditional weddings are tedious, hate the old, bitchy hags, & Am for a DJ too…….Lets get married ;)
Er.
Do u like comics? Do u like AR Rahman? Can u take good care of my cd collection? Can you do the Tango with me?
If it’s “yes” to all the above questions, AND if you are who I think you are, heh heh heh, you know my answer.
I think I will edit this a little tomorrow.
Don’t even dare. You can’t edit the truth, even if people dont like it!
That was good point of view, very relevant as well for a country like ours.
Imagine how much money the people who are marrying will be able to save. They might even be able to buy a house or something useful for them instead of feeding a group of hungry boars who will criticise about the food anyways when they are done! :-P
PS: Maybe I shouldn’t be commenting since I’ve also gone and eaten at a lot of these places…
Right. No editing anywhere.
a group of hungry boars who will criticise about the food anyways when they are done! :-P
