Jaiswal Marriages

I went to a Jaiswal community marriage recently. The marriage procession was late because the bridegroom's family members and company were dancing to loud noise/music surrounded by traffic, dust and the smell of urine! Hundreds of people were kept waiting while they grumbled under their breath.

Is there anyone out there who thinks that there is something wrong this? Can there be a better way of celebrating happy events?

I totally agree with you. The responsibility should come from many directions. Firstly, the Marriage Volunteers (I mean the Grooms Family), secondly the youth who are dacing to the beats (they should understand this is not a club or a disco place) and lastly the police should be forcing them not to halt at a place for long.

Sometimes it is homeless people in tattered clothes doing the dancing (if one call it that) just to make a few quick rupees!
