12 CRAZY MOMENTS IN INDIAN WEDDINGS : LOL

From a drunk uncle burning the dance floor on his own to guests who eat like no one is watching- there is much that happens at an Indian wedding that we all can identify with. Here is a sneak-peek of 12 things that happen at an Indian Shaadi. Put a mental check mark along the ones that you have either witnessed or been a part of. Well, we are sure most of you will be getting 12 out of 12.So, are you ready to experience a typical Indian wedding once again ??

#1...Cash flow!!

The ‘shagun kay lifaafe’ is typical feat of an Indian wedding. You will see a relative with a designated role of a treasurer from the either side with a big bag, with just one responsibility to fulfill, collect all the packets carefully!!

#2...Late night catch-up session!!

Cousins/friends make it a point that they reach at least 3-4 days in advance for a catch-up session before the wedding. It is almost a ritual that involves giving updates and sharing some gyaan about marriage and relationships in general!

#3...Sleep in any space you see vacant!!

At an Indian wedding, everyone is quite accommodating and can sleep in any spot that is vacant. Especially the youngsters, who have no reservations for sleeping on the floor too! Well, it is not just about sleeping. It is all about talking into the night with your cousin and best friend by your side. And, after all it is a matter of barely a few hours, before you are woken up for the next ritual or an impromptu dancing session.

#4...You lose track of what is kept where!!

From your clothes and slippers to your luggage– everything stands a chance of escaping your sight. After all there are too many people and too much to take care of. You will see aunties crying foul over a missing make up kit or uncles losing their shaving kit, and kids will inevitable lose a toy or two!

#5...Food gets the maximum attention!!

Yes, for almost every Indian guest, it is the buffet that holds their fascination and interest above anything else. They starve themselves for a week and eat all they must on the wedding day. They are the ones that will have everything piled up on their plate and will be seen burping on-the-go!

#6...Wedding crashers!!

Wedding crashers may be your friend’s friend or those who just happened to have invited themselves for free food! The only reason perhaps you can’t identify these free loaders is that you may assume they are from the other side of the family!

#7...Photography Lover!!

Well, at times there are more guests on the stage, than off it. Everyone wants to get clicked with the bride and the groom, and there are times when the lovely couple is hardly even visible in the frame. What’s more? The friends and the relatives who wish to place their kids in between the couple, or make them sit on the couple’s lap, for a happy picture.

#8...Crazy Dancers!!

The crazy dancing, whether on the dance floor or in the ‘baaraat’ cannot miss a mention! Whether you are a star performer or have two left feet, at an Indian wedding you get respect only for the number of ‘thumkas’ you can do in a row! Oh and you will have uncles do the‘naagin’ dance and burning the dance floor like a pro! Well, at an Indian wedding everyone from 6 to 60 loves to dance.

#9...Friendly flirting!!

Those eligible bachelors will always look for someone to flirt with, and why not? There could be another love story waiting to find a way to the altar! Yes, almost every Indian wedding has a Hum Aapke Hain Koun… story brewing in it!

#10...The photographer loves you at your worst!!

The moment you fill your plate with food, trying to fix your dress, making a face, or just doing anything that is not even remotely worth capturing, well the photographer’s flash goes off. Yes, the Indian wedding photographers have a pungent sense to discover people when they are filling their plates with food or about to put a spoonful of something in their mouth.

#11...Relatives/friends become matchmakers!!

Those who are single or of a marriageable age carry a fear of bumping into their matchmaker relatives and friends! There is no way anyone escapes their prying eyes that hunt for the most suitable ‘future’ bride or groom!

#12...Only a handful of people are awake by the time "pheras" start!!

All the wedding mania culminates on the wedding day, especially during the pheras where only a couple of people are awake. Nothing beats the sight of relatives taking a power nap and snoring while panditji chants mantras.​
