How Indian Weddings Are Changing
2

• Indian weddings have changed a lot in recent
  years, with much more money being spent on them
  and with elaborate ceremonies involving numerous
  rituals that bride and groom must perform. Guest
  lists are becoming increasingly long, and in
  general, weddings are far more lavish and costly
  than they ever were before.
• Arranged marriages versus love marriages
• Arranged marriages have been customary in Indian
  culture throughout the ages, and were first
  designed to help maintain and pass on family
  traditions down the generations.

• While still customary and prevalent in many rural
  areas of India, and indeed some urban parts, too,
  peoples ideals are slowly changing. Slowly being
  the operative word, though, as many people
  struggle with such a new concept that goes
  against Indian tradition.
• Mixed caste and mixed religion marriages
• Until relatively recently, marrying a person who
  did not belong to the same caste as you, or who
  followed a different religion, was strictly out
  of bounds. Modern Indian society and its
  increasing social awareness however, has seen
  more people marrying outside of their caste or
  religion.

• Wedding outfits
• Wedding attire has also seen many changes over
  the years, with brides and grooms no longer
  restricted to traditional dress relevant to their
  religion, region or community. Nowadays, while
  traditional clothing is still worn during the
  most important of the ceremonies, other rituals
  may see the bride and groom wearing attire of
  their own personal choice. Changing fashions have
  played a role in this progression, and affluent
  brides and grooms may even hire fashion designers
  to choose their outfits for them. High profile
  weddings of business tycoons and Bollywood stars
  have inspired many to follow their trends, and
  weddings are more about looking like a celebrity,
  than conforming to religious or other norms.

• Wedding planning
• Wedding planning, including the engagement
  process and events, used to be the sole
  responsibility of the brides family, and the
  venue was chosen and decorated by the family
  alone. The cost of the wedding was also met by
  the brides parents, something which still
  happens today, but more people are now hiring
  professionals to make wedding arrangements for
  them and plan the entire event. This is seen more
  and more in the upper middle-class section of
  society, who want their weddings to be the talk
  of the town and an utterly extravagant affairand
  why not?!
