Some of the comments heard from around at recent marriages:
1. Why are you having Reception on the marriage day? Normally it is on the previous day evening..
2. Oh !. 3 days you are in this mandapam?1 day marriage is enough- first day evening - reception and next morning muhurtam - then pack
3. These Boys(Groom) side people-are they not shameless for eating 7-8 times at the cost of the poor brides parents cost...?
4. Good, it is difficult to get girl now a days... and the girl s exercise their choice in choosing the right boy !!
5. Time to have MOI app and Live streaming of the marriage ceremony with no Mandapam cost..May be consider lunch coupons to be despatched.
6. When the Skype marriages are taking place for overseas Bride & groom why not for localites as well? Travel cost, stay cost, inconvenience to others all saved....
Some moot questions are ( Iam a father of a son & a daughter)
1. Is the marriage for a good food or for seeking asirvathams/blessings( the invitation still carry this )
2. MOI or Gifts are only options of the invitees and not mandatory right/liability?
3. Most of the observations/comments appears are from those who have only daughters
4. Many of the marriages now mostly where the boy and the girl have already met (love marriage) ( Is a marriage ceremony necessary? mere registration will be enough right? Even seeking blessings is to only spend some money)
5. Easy &convenient methods are made acceptable because the bride and groom have already chosen themselves and there is no right or wrong to justifiy
Unsure where the gen-next would be.. there are still some who has every reason for each practise/methods that is done during a marriage ceremony and the only chance for many to meet their relatives & friends .
Cost factor mentioned could be definitely a valid one. Needs to be an abridged version of marriage ceremony with essential elements? Can the vaithigas come up with one?
Should all happen only electronically?
