Ten Reasons Why Indian Weddings are Not Fun

1. You have to meet every single member of the family, including the aunts who pinch your cheek and make vague
insinuations that you’re next on the hit list. Generally, this is followed by raucous laughter from everyone within
earshot. I don’t understand. Why is this supposed to be funny??


2. The huge crowd, most of whom you don’t know even if it’s a wedding in your own family.


3. The fact that you have to be ‘appropriately’ dressed in clothes that will guarantee death by dehydration and heat if
the hall isn’t air conditioned. In fact, even if it is, the human throng there usually nullifies all effects.


4. The point of a long ceremony followed by an even longer reception escapes me.


5. The lakhs of rupees spent on it could actually fund their kids' college education in the future if anyone cared to think
about it.


6. You hardly get to talk to the couple if you’re close to them and you can’t get away soon enough if you’re not.


7. Highly non Eco-friendly. Have you seen the amount of wastage at these things?


8. If the number of relatives cross a certain critical limit, gossip and/about scandals is inevitable.


9. The loud, unbearably terrible songs they blast on the speakers.


10. It’s just so…lame.
