Wedding

India, a land of extensive cultures, languages, religions, festivals and traditions brings along with it weddings, similarly rich in history and a subject worth immense exploration. Its true, more literally in India, when they say you don’t just marry your partner, you marry his/her family as well. Indians believe very strongly in the faith of ‘marriages being made in heaven’ thus arranged marriages make up the larger portion of Indian weddings than love marriages where the latter in many cases involve a bond between two different religions or cultures. A country where family values, love and respect for parents and elders still marks as an important foundation for growing up, youngsters yet observe the dedication to give the responsibility of finding a bride or groom to the elders. Though this is a more prominent occurrence, Indian weddings have evolved over the years and youngsters are opting for a partner of their own choice.
