Marriage functions are so time consuming.
For example a typical marriage function of Hindus takes almost all night with religious rituals like Varmala right up to Pheras and Vidaai, and other celebrations.
What kind of celebration is that???
What kind of a torture is this for the newly wedding couple, and their families?
What we could do is skip all this, marry the couple in a very small marriage function in a temple in the evening with very limited guests, or no guests in this very small ceremony, and have a dinner party with all the possible celebrations, and all possible guests, major or minor.
But a few people have to come forward, show some courage and determination, and start this trend.
Trust God to be with you in this, as it saves time, money, headaches, and environment.
