Best wedding - mine. Mine was love cum arranged marriage. So all of friends and husband's friends , made it to attend.
My husband's friends & male cousins wore red shirt and my friends and my cousins wore green matching my kanjeevaram.
1) For garland exchange my mamas carried me. Felt child again. My mamas cried thinking my childhood. Emotional.
2) my reception dress was custom made and everyone appreciated
3) in the marriage hall name board, the contractor displayed my grandma name as mine ( which was the card with alias) face palm moment.
4) the unjal palagai we used for my wedding is from ancestral home. 5 th gen wedding ! Again emotional moment.
5) my parents made sure it was eco friendly wedding no plastic used. From kitchen to return gift bags.

Worst - Funny
Recently my youngest cousin got married, when the priest told pour ghee to the agni.
This IIT educated idiot , poured water as both ghee n water were placed in similar cups.
What a show, all his friends were literally ROFL, we all youngsters joined and laughing.
One stern look from all elders put us off.still giggling. Later started the agni.priest said never seen such family, some laughing some tensed.
After wedding no one talked about bride or every one was talking about bridegroom.
Since he is the final one to get married, I think the story would travel for next 25 yrs atleast.

Wow! Your wedding sounds fancy! Matching shirts and all. Nice!

at the water instead of ghee. I'm sure the story will be repeated for generations.

Why so? Mostly, in Indian weddings, all the stress of arrangements falls to the parents and older generation. Or, at least, it used to. Things may have changed now.

Yeah. Personally I ve always loved to have a little bit of pomp and splendor to my wedding-not an extravaganza just a little bit of color to everything. As u said the responsibility of the entire thing was on my parents’ shoulders and only part which I had to do was to be the bride!
Moreover I believe our own wedding is the only event where we our THE center of attraction! In that case it’s perfectly alright to feel our wedding to be the best one

Yup I know... but do you think the younger generation is that numb with no strings attached to their parents, to enjoy their big day at the cost of their suffering.
