This tradition is an Indian wedding. So let’s get started. First of all they have to invite lots of people from around, then book some motels so that invited guest can have a good stay. And following that make arrangements for food for the guests, so hire some chefs.
The bride and groom have to be ready for the 3 day marathon so, their bodies are covered and washed with turmeric (Haldi)paste which makes their body cool and fair. The first day includes some primary rituals which have to be done prior to the wedding. It longs for about 5 to 6 hours. After that there is buffet arrangement for the guests to have a good meal.
The second day is the wedding day, this is the day full of trouble,the brides side, have to look for every single thing, which is in the hall for the groom side, that they don’t face any trouble regarding hospitality. Anybody who walked in through the entrance of the tent found a small hallway (still in the tent) which sprayed him or her with tropical scents. Inside the tent you would be greeted by lost of chair, cushions and a square stage in the centre of it all with a swing chair on it.Then after the wedding the new couple went off in a horse and carriage, and well the rest partied.
