[quote=Anonymous]What? Nooooo.

I do. I love to be a guest at a big fat Indian wedding.   It is endless excitement and fun, food, spirits, rituals, family and friends, Bollywood, drama, dressing up, kids, relatives, reunions.

Yes, I have hosted my own DD's wedding and  it was extremely stressful.  Once that was over, I only had two thoughts - 1. DD2 should elope. 2. I want to attend the Indian Shaadi of someone else's kid.

I do not want the very simple 30-minute or one-day wedding or the barnyard wedding or backyard wedding or only 20 people wedding.  Ideally, I want the full-on fun and festivity of multiple days of shaadi (usually I need to be close to the parents to be invited for every event), with kids running around, people getting drunk, diamonds and gold dripping from all the attendees, choreographed bollywood dance, close relatives and college friends of parents attending from at least Canada, India, UK, Hong Kong and Australia, diabetic uncles overdosing on Indian sweets or sweet paan...all of the craziness and tradition BUT on someone else's dime.

I am willing to spend on the hotel rooms for multiple days, hefty cash gifts, expensive outfits for multiple events for my entire family, hairstyle, makeup, nails, spa treatment, saree draping for my own crew etc.   And take all the requisite group dance lessons on zoom from the teacher in Mumbai.   And take all the jabs needed to attend the potential-to-turn-into-super-spreader event. And play the Dholki for the Sangeet night, and bring my dandiya sticks for Garba Night.  And  the western gown if the Indian kid marries a non-Indian gora kid in a "church" or "non-denominational" wedding. And be available to help my friend (whose kid is getting married) in any capacity that they need.  And carry the nitro-glycerine tablets in my purse because someone will have to make a trip to ER out of the 300 people attending. (There is always a heart patient who will dance bhangra and drink, or a youngster who is taking God knows what).  We all know the drill of how the "Sharma Ji ki Ladki ki Shaadi" will go. [/quote]
