Are you saying that because you are a muslim and don't like Indians?

You know that muslims watch our movies in which these clothes and weddings are featured all the time. Indian weddings are beautiful.

There are a lot of Muslim people who happen to be Indian...

I do not get what you are trying to say.

I just said that because of the Office episode...

Yes. They are... different. During the ceremony I asked the couple beside me if the wedding had actually started yet, or if the priest was just giving the couple a preliminary talk of some kind. The man replied that it had started, and that this was normal for indian weddings. Half the people there were still standing up and talking to each other as the couple was being married.

My buddy married an indian chick back in March, I was part of the wedding. All I can say was that it was really fun and colorful. The only damper on the wedding was that since my budy is black, her racist parents, siblings, and other relatives boycotted the wedding. Luckily, her good friends showed up, so we had an indian and seperate christian wedding.

Globetrotter, I was just curious to see what responses people would give. I am a Wedding Planner and I just got back from one this morning... the reception i still have yet to go to around 6pm. One of the first responses was very ignorant. Indian weddings can cost almost double what a typical marriage in America costs. The dresses they wear put tuxedos and the like in dirt, and Punjabi weddings are only different than Hindu marriages in their ceremonies and music. So, for the people who see "halloween costumes", calm the fuck down and put visene in your eyes.

I lived in New Mexico for almost a decade and had friends who lived on the reservations (the rez). Until I saw your name, I thought you may have been interested in Native American/First people weddings.

Indian (East) weddings can wary hugely, (but the OP probably knows this). The Punjabi ones have a lot more dancing from the wedding parties etc, the urdu speaking UP/Agra/Delhi ones are much less rambunctious (some would say more dignified).

Some people are not comfortable with display of dances...


On the other hand, Indian weddings in the US and the UK are sometimes pretty extreme. While young Ms or Master Sharma/Haque/Raja/Patel..... may not be very Indian in his ways, the parents throw mega indian bashes. This is especially true for those who have "made it" in the new countries. Went to an elegant one a few years ago on the banks of the Hudson.

Read above where I said I was making a reference to the Office...it was a joke! So calm the fuck down!

Also, as for the comment you made about the dresses they wear and how they put American wedding garb in the dirt has got to be the most ignorant comment coming from a wedding planner like yourself. Sure, there might be dresses in certain Indian weddings that cost a fortune but that is not the case for every wedding. They garb might look more elaborate than a tuxedo but that does not mean it costs more necessarily. It seems like you made this thread just to say stupid shit rather than actually have any serious questions.

Also, Indian weddings do not usually happen in the morning followed by a reception in the evening. They are comprised of multiple parts that last a few days.

Haha this guys teaching me how and what time desi weddings are to be run. My man, we're in America... I worked with maybe a handful of clients whose wedding lasted more than two days. We're not in Punjab where people can take off from work for a month and celebrate their wedding. Check the prices of a normal priced shehrwani and a simple tux. You'll be surprised with the price difference. Oh, and lastly, kiss my ass. I didnt originally make this thread to talk crap to anyone, but seems like i have a taker who wants to get bashed, so im running with it.
