If you live in Metro Vancouver or the Greater Toronto area, there's a good chance that you've either been invited to an Indian wedding or attended one. They're often lavish, extravagant, week-long affairs with anywhere from 500 to 1,200 guests. An Indian wedding can last from three days to even a full week. There is a lot to love in an Indian wedding, but with all the extravagance and glamor, the cons of a big, fat Indian wedding are not always considered. But here’s the harsh truth: such weddings burn a hole in the family’s pocket and no matter how hard they try, keeping every guest happy is next to impossible. Throughout this episode, you’ll hear anonymous submissions from couples about their challenges and pain points. Today, we’re getting into the nitty gritty of indian weddings between the nosy relatives who always find a reason to be unhappy, the flaunt factor, the traditions and culture, the maddening preparations, pricey and unprofessional vendors, familial expectations, bachelorettes gone wrong, getting into debt, and finally teaching you how to set clear boundaries with your family— we’re covering it all. Today, I’m Unveiling South Asian Weddings for all that they are.
