Yes, and it is time to change our mindset to celebrate..
The funniest thing I have noticed in marriages is that the focus is on everybody else except the Bride and Groom. We should be focusing more on them rather than other people. It doesn't matter much if others are pampered/ate/drank/slept comfortably or not. The most Garib Bichchare are the two persons who are getting married, especially Bride. Nobody gives a damn whether they ate/slept/tired/enjoying or not; forget about their wishes or the way they want their marriage to happen.
What's the point to have this big a event, their first and probably the biggest, if it is not enjoyed by them. The goal of the marriage event and celebrations should be to give a very good start to their long inning of life with lots of happiness and cheerful faces.
It is a big event if we consider that almost 1000 people joining the event over 3 days. Every volunteer is important and necessary to make arrangements. We see at least 100 people volunteering and 20 people managing the event of this volume in our companies. There is a lot to learn from corporate to make marriage enjoyable. It is apt to have half of the volunteers and mangers from Bride's relatives and half from Groom's relatives. The very reason for that is half of the lot is unknown to the other half. We should accept the importance of the new couple and they should be given more responsibility and last word to arrange the event. I am sure, we have seen very good management skills and enjoyable experience whenever that happens.
The good thing is that people have already started to accept these facts and working as per need. We need to encourage and increase this breed.
