    I think it is considered to help increase their lifespan to pray for a better health and live long may be even see their gran children's children.
    The children are supposed to be conducting the same firstly they missed seeing their parents wedding ( obv reasons ) . Also the kids def too want to receive the blessings of others and god to keep their parents healthy.
    I think it's also way to show that since their parents successfully conducted their wedding the kids are doing the same . Re marriage of sorts ( though the groom and bride are the same ) .
    Lastly it's a great occasion to meet and greet!!.... Family get together who has time in today's world for such occasions.
    This is what I know .. I am sure there are veterans who have a better reply.
