A Typical Indian Wedding
For a girl, her wedding is everything! It’s something that her parents have been dreaming of and preparing for, right from the time of her birth. In fact, it’s something she’s been asked to dream about and believe in, since the time she could even begin to understand things. It has been portrayed this way in the best of Bollywood weddings as well. And honestly, when a girl thinks of her wedding, she imagines herself as entering the wedding mandap that is decked up with fresh flowers. She thinks about her man sitting there waiting for her to come and sit next to him, and take the saat pheras with him. The pheras where they promise each other to take care of each other and their respective families for as long as the next seven lives.
Let’s summarize it here — it’s a typical scene from an Indian wedding where the bride enters, walking slowly to the tunes of the melodramatic music that is playing in the background and making her tear up. She is made to sit and perform all the rituals and while doing so she maintains a coy air around her. And then, in the end, she leaves with her husband teary-eyed, and bittersweet over the fact that she is now apart from her parents and her maternal home, though she has the love of her new husband.
Breaking The Stereotypes
Have you ever thought of dancing at your own wedding like no one is watching you? If we were asking this question 30 years back, you’d be saying, “No way!” But now it’s not the case, and you agree with this, don’t you? Times have changed now. Today’s millennial brides don’t believe in behaving like a shy Dulhan and being all poised at their own wedding. Women have been seen breaking stereotypes everywhere and are striving to simply be considered as an equal gender who can walk shoulder to shoulder with the men. So, how can weddings be untouched by this air of change, right? The Internet has been taken by storm with the videos of desi Indian brides dancing in their own weddings, having fun like no one else, because, why not, it’s their wedding after all.
