Another thing with the chance of a trillion to one is finding out what’s under Blagojevich’s forehead.

Well, I’d advise you to not post about these ‘epic fail’ weddings moments after they occur. I’m guessing most of these will be your own friend’s weddings, and your own friends read your blog.

Also, to be realistic, I don’t see the point of these posts. It’s pretty much a preaching to the choir scenario. I’d put the odds of a greased up east coast bhangra desi reading your blog and taking something away from it at about a trillion to one.

boy-girl dancing is only funny when ahsan and salman re-enact it for our amusement.

i think my main issue with some recent weddings ive been to….are DJ’S AND BOY GIRL DANCING!…i recently went to a wedding where the DJ asked us literally 20 times to "make some NOISE!!!" throughout the night….music so loud you could not carry on a conversation with the person next to u…..and worse was watching these girls and boys dance together while every man watching looked like a creepy pedofile…and every mom watched on with pride….it was depressing…thank God this didnt last 4 or 5 hours for us… we left way before it ended….

Oh boy. I don’t even know where to start. I can think of 3 recent weddings off the top of my head:

1. The REALLY rich family’s wedding- It was at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, which is a very big deal. Everything was glittery and shimmery and scary (you didn’t want to touch anything lest it broke or fell over). Ever seen one of those grand Bollywood weddings? Yeah, this was one of them. They had huuge drums beating and all that crazy processions…and yeah

2. The really IMPORTANT wedding- This was the wedding everyone kept talking about, including the bride. At every dawat, this was the only topic of conversation for months. Everything had to be literally made "epic".

3. The super cultural wedding- You know how it goes.

But on the brighter side of things, two weeks ago, I just went to a wedding of a really close family friend, and I loved it. It was really nice and simple, great food, informal and cozy, and sans a billion speeches.

Alhamdulillah, I had quite a small wedding at the masjid. There were some things I wish I had done differently, but overall the only thing I had spent money on that I wish I hadn’t was the paper invitations which turned out to be completely unnecessary and I ended up not giving out half of them.

One failed wedding, in my opinion, I attended, they had made the guests wait maybe an hour or two before the bride actually showed up to the venue and for the guests to eat. It even lasted into the night, which some of the guests were unaware of, even though it seems to be part of the culture to start that late. Unfortunately, some failed weddings can later turn into failed marriages, which some say stemmed from the failed weddings. I think that would be a great lesson to your series, because it really isn’t about celebrating the wedding day, but celebrating the marriage itself.

I look forward to this series as well.

SOLID, mA. Looking forward to this series, as I want to vent off steam from the fail-a-thon of weddings I’ve been to in the past year or so by the avenue of reading these posts.
