    Lol I was about to tell the same ;)
    Especially the food as per the guests :tongueout:.

    However me and my DH couldn’t eat much and were feeling bad for not able to eat tasty food! My hubby even told ,before leaving India , someone should invite us for the wedding catered by the same caterers as ours..

    And another best wedding was my cousins wedding. The brides family was very big and everyone enjoyed the occasion.

    Don’t remember attending any worst wedding!
    Anyways since childhood I loved attending reception instead of Muhurtham because reception food had more varieties than Muhurtham food :yum:

    I wouldn't blame the bride is poor. They are still together, and its been 5+ years.
    Both are together, like spouses with benefit. No love, no trust, no companionship, yet they are together!!!

    Ofcourse i Would say best is mine..
    Another best is my aunt's wedding.. i was kid then and enjoyed the wedding for 3 days happily, dressup, dance, play and roam the mandapam.

    Worst - we attended one of our colleague wedding last year in US and they didnt arrange for afternoon lunch and gave only samosa and 2 jilebis in hand at 4 PM. we were told to wait till 4 saying food will be ready :( very disappointed and went directly to Indian Hotel and had full meals...

    later they arranged for dinner after reception.. but due to this delay, we were delayed for reception too.. :(

    My wedding was the best from the eyes of others. They had the best of both worlds, a fancy Christian wedding (where wine and other liquor with non veg bites and elaborate meals were served) and a colorful, yet traditional Hindu wedding (as per typical south Indian custom), and both on the same day.
    The wedding hall was decorated and divided as per the different customs, and guests had the liberty to stay/chose wherever they wanted to be.
    Following both the religious rituals at a church and temple respectively, we were seated in a place where all the guests could see us, and entertain together with us.
    It was a lavish wedding by the way.

    But, I wouldn't say the happiest. Because we had to undergo so much stress and extensive planning and constant follow up, even from the altar, as we were worried about confusions and criticism in this already troubled union (inter religious). And there were people, who were waiting to find faults too.

    I don't think anyone here could tell that their wedding was the best wedding, unless it was a simple event only with loved ones.
    The weddings in our part of the world are the biggest tension one could ever bear in life.

    But, regardless of this, we could enjoy the weddings if it was someone's wedding. Specially if it was your extended relative or friend, so that you are very much part of it (not a mere guest), yet no tensions.

    When I attend a wedding my entire focus is on the bride and the groom. The happiness, the anticipation of being together, love . Even the simplest bride and groom looks radiant and happy. It’s their day and as far as they are happy nothing else matters. I cannot classify any wedding as being bad irrespective of the food, surrounding drama or anything else.

    I liked your spirit.

    I love watching people and can there be a better place than a marriage venue to get an eyeful of all varieties? Characters with various moods ranging from comedy to horror+ some drama+some action+ some sly glances and a bit of romance :hearteyes:... I think an event like a marriage should be treated as live entertainment show and preferably no judgement should be passed!

    Best wedding is mine conducted in US :)
    Just a cosy group of 50 people (mostly from academia), simple food. More talking than rituals , so fun.

    Worst wedding was ours again held in India by wife's parents.
    Wife hated the unnecessary pomp but went with the flow to appease her parents as ours was love marriage.
    My mother/sisters were treated mostly like guests.
    But even worst things have a silver lining. The album is better than US one (picture quality better too) , so we can show to our kids :)
