Ye Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai : Decoding The Big Fat Indian Wedding

For a kid who grew up in an Indian household, I always had a soft corner for a big fat Indian wedding.

My house would transform into one of those metropolitan cities that never sleeps, waking up at 6 in the morning felt no different from waking up at 6 in the evening. We found ourselves in a perpetual state of organised chaos. Yet, we loved being part of this mass hysteria for what it was, didn’t we?

So, let’s break it down.
3 things we absolutely love about a big fat Indian wedding:

Dancing
Dancing is the heart and soul of an Indian wedding celebration. It’s that time of the year when you see your 50 year old sloshed phupha ji showing off his moves like jagger to naagin dance.
How quant!

Dressing-Up
Another wedding, another excuse to dress up like the fabulous diva that you are. Fret not, The photographer is obviously going to take those beautiful close-up shots of you eating and regurgitating the buffet which would give Kumbhakaran an inferiority complex, but on the Brightside, you will look well dressed doing it.
If you don’t want your wedding videography and photography in Bhubaneswar to look like an endless series of well dressed people eating the food your paid for, we’ve got your back, here are some good photographers at your disposal who will help you capture beautiful memories with YOU in it and not your gracious guests!

 

Rituals

Here is a new start up idea. Steal groom’s shoe. Hide it. Engage in melodrama and cause him a lot of hassle and then finally return it back to him.
Profit!?!
Silicon valley, take notes!
As weird as this may sound, this is one of the many standard Indian wedding rituals and trust me, they get a lot more creative and fun!
