Today Marriage has become big event around which many industries thrive. In India especially the marriages are generally held in a marriage hall. Even if the wedding happens to take place in a temple the hall is rented for the reception wherein all the friends of two families come and feast.
My parents use to talk proudly about how marriages would be conducted on their house verandas in the villages. A weeklong festivity wherein the whole village dined and entertainment like music and dance rocked the village until dawn. Apart from the lack of space in today’s world, the cost and the expenditure for a week long celebration or feeding the whole town or even the village is a Herculean task.
Today’s generation wants a simple marriage but elaborate reception in some posh hotel. This reduces other expenses such as marriage hall and catering management. The food is not wasted and the decorations are undertaken by the hotel itself at no extra cost mostly. Most of all there is less work for the family members and more time to chatter.
Up until few years back in Indian marriages the brides and grooms were not allowed to meet one another or go out before marriage.

But today both the bride and groom insist they meet and get along together before their shaadi. Times are changing and so the parents have no other way but to give in to the younger generations requests. This seems to be a positive change for society and better marriage life. Education and general awareness about the social issues has contributed lot in this matter. Everyone understands the importance of finding right partner and in Indian marriage system people get the chance of selecting the right partner only once.
