This long weekend I get to go to a family friends wedding. I don’t really remember going to many weddings and in general I never really liked or understood it. Especially Indian weddings! If you know nothing about Indian weddings pretty much all you need to know is that it lasts forever.. usually 4 days or so, it involves a lot of greasy, deep-fried, sugar filled, gonna increase your change of heart attack yummy food. Its always very colorful, and full of gold (as it was the original traditional gift to give… now of course the modern world prefers a stack of presidents/prime ministers).
I always believed that religion is between a person and God (or whatever they believe in) and that weddings are the feeling between two people, everyone else has no place in it. Sure if someone close to you decides that they want to spend their life with someone that you will be happy with them maybe even want to celebrate but the thing is why do such fancy ceremonies. Why all the stress and expense just to please everyone. If you call people then because you called them you also have to call all this other people you really don’t care about and you get to pay for it. I really think that bachelor parties and stuff is where you go an celebrate with anyone who wants to be happy for you and that the actual wedding is just with the closest of people. Weddings should not be family reunions, they should not be places to show off the latest Prada suite or Saatia Paul wedding ensemble. Who really cares about all that junk anyway? If your in love then celebrate your love and that all it should be.
Apparently all girls are suppose to dream of their weddings… so here is mine…
Option 1: its winter, I go to the mountains have a small ceremony max 10 ppl and get married
Option 2: Its not winter...we go to city hall, we sign the papers, then we fly off to some tropical place all inclusive.
And yes with both the options cash will be the accepted gift
So now that my dream weddings are planned, I just need one more thing…. Hmmm what could I be forgetting… ohh yeah the dude I’m going to marry… how silly of me

I love weddings, but I'd much rather prefer a really small wedding maybe not 10 ppl, but maybe like 40. That way, if you're invited, then you know that you mean something to the couple getting married :)... but I'd definitely spend a set amount of moolah on the wedding. This way, if it's really small, then my guests get a lot of quality items and meals. YUMM!
