Like another girl, I too sit and
dream of wedding. The gorgeous silk sarees, the wedding sangeeth , the bigger
crowds, the yummy meals, the matching jewelries, the romantic looks, the shy
dimples . . . All these imaginations, never came to an end until I attended my
own wedding ceremony , a few months ago. What does all these stuff really mean
? I tried to dedicate the hours of solitude to do a little bit of learning
about the “wedding” ceremonies and of course, yes, rewinding to relive the
tough and strong parts of the wedding! After my harangue of an investigation, I just
realize that weddings as the industry-driven, tulle-embellished monster is not
what we had practiced in the earlier times. Although we may believe that
weddings are ‘traditional’ ceremonies, the foundations of which are rooted in
long-practiced pact, the fact of the matter is, the purposes and procedures of
weddings have varied greatly over time, culture and status. And what we’ve
wound up with? Not the happily – ever – after, pla cards, for real life. We crumble
with the money , ego and the dirtiest ever race named “obsessions and
possessiveness”. Who is right, who is superior, who is wrong, who is to be humiliated?
These are the main entities, that marriages feed to. Even the love is devoured
by the hungry beast called “Ego”. What is the point in spending laks and crores
of money? Let us try not to create dream weddings, but a successful wed lock
life .
