I HATE marriages!!

My hatred towards wedding celebrations is probably due to the surrounding environment I have lived amidst. Criticism, Allegations, Outshowing each other, Judgements...all the kinds of negative emotions and vibes are related to it.

Why does wedding become a platform to show off your riches?

And why does even a middle class man try to conceal that he is not rich?

Why do people judge a marriage by the no. of dishes and kind of decorations?

Why does the society want to live it this way when the majority of middle class men are dying under the burden of the expenses incurred for marriage?

Why doesn't the middle class man stop pretending?

Why doesn't the middle class man become wise to understand this chakravyueh?

Why do we have to invite so many people for the function? In previous times, those all relations were close. But, in present times, we hardly interact with them.

Why do we want to follow the rituals of past in present times where they have lost their essence?

Why do we have to invite all those who invited us for their celebrations? Why a tit-for-tat?

Why do the hosts feel bad when some people couldn't turn? Reasons could be genuine.

Why does it become a point for keeping grudges?

Why have marriage celebrations become big social obligations and not realistic happy affairs?

Why have marriages now become only a matter of money?

How much did girl's father give to his son-in-law? How much did the girl's parents give to their daughter? How much did the maternals give? How much did he/she put in the 'lifaafa'? How expensive a gift did he/she give?

Why have blessings become measurable and comparable in greens?

Why do the parents falsely name these social obligations as rituals or 'our love' or 'our dream' for you?

Has money taken the place of love?

If dowry was a menace in medieval times, then wedding functions are the menace of today.

And why, despite knowing and hating and not wanting to become a part of such a menace, should people have to participate and follow what the world does?

A disadvantage of being a social being, I guess.

Yes, I hate attending marriages for I hate shows of the fortune that people put up.

All the more, I hate that even I will be having such a kind of a marriage and that my marriage will not be a simple court marriage/ a small family affair!!
