Indian weddings are famous worldwide, almost as much as the Taj Mahal itself! The gaiety, dancing, music and colors and the spectacle of hundreds to people – friends, family, and sometimes complete strangers letting their hair down and partying like the world’s end have to be seen to be believed! Now multiply those elements thousand fold and you get the lovingly yet aptly named big fat Indian wedding. These bring to mind an unrestrained, epic marriage function on a grand scale with a cast of gold, diamonds, bands, fireworks, elephants and horses, royal carriages, never-ending yet no doubt enthralling mini events and millennia-old traditions. The big fat Indian
wedding combines Indian and Western events and elements for maximum enjoyment while still retaining its quintessential Indian-ness. So you get to see bachelor and bachelorette parties in the schedule between the Sangeet and Mehendi and a pre-wedding shoot prior to Gauri Puja or Annadaan.
