[quote=Anonymous]Back to a lighter topic -- I’m Muslim and wanted others’ views -- have you ever been to a (south asian) Muslim wedding, which was practically a pre-prom picture taking party? I went to one last summer, where the ceremony had already happened, so the reception literally consisted of the bride/groom and their families doing the entrance into the reception following by a 5 minute slideshow showing pics of each of them.  After that the only activity consisted of the bride/groom sitting up on the stage for 2-3 hours having a 1000+ pictures taken, including various combinations of guests going up to the stage to have their pics taken with the couple.  Thus the rest of us spent the night watching them take pics.

This is a conservative family so of course there was no alcohol and they also went with no music and no open dance floor.  Yet they did 3 separate wedding related events, all of which were like this; the first one wasn’t bad because it at least consisted of talking over dinner with the people you were seated with who I hadn’t seen in years.  Events #2-3, I was bored to tears -- what else is there to talk to the same people about 3 nights in a row, but I couldn’t not attend as I’m fairly close family.  Has “picture taking” become the activity at these types of wedding since there is nothing else going on?[/quote]
