Thought 1: Why people think spending lacs of rupees in the celebration of the wedding of their kids is a symbol of love?
Thought 2: Why should one make loads of sound and block roads to celebrate new relationships?
Thought 3: Why all best wishes have to be accompanied with envelops carrying cash?
Thought 4: Why and how some unknown people can come to your house to “give badhai” and demand to be paid for this?
Thought 5: Why the only way to ward evil eye from the newly wed couple is by distributing your hard earned money amongst the grumpy servants?
Thought 6: When getting married is a personal choice then why is being married not so personal? Why should one “look” married after marriage?
Thought 7: Why should the surname of the bride is changed when both bride and bridegroom are starting a new relationship?
Thought 8: With relatives loosing their relevance and friends being the new support system, why relatives kick a fuss in the celebrations while friends wish well, irrespective to whether they witnessed the wedding or not?
Thought 9: Why people at work place assume that you will not be as sincere as before, if you are married?

Hey Priti,
Quite Impressive post!
I totally agree with your thoughts and I am glad that you had noticed all these marriage musings not as a spectator but as an actress in your own marriage.
In my opinion, there are some things that you have to perform so as to satisfy society and its pressures thus there is no right or wrong in those thoughts. We all are living in western world and could think differently and innovatively but have to perform some task or jobs for other's happiness.
Anyways,I am very happy to be part of your marriage and enjoyed the simplicity of the same to fullest.
Really appreciate your thoughts on this issue.
Amit
