A desi wedding is one of the most diverse gatherings you can attend. You’ll get to see all sorts of people – from a year old to the old timers. This is what makes our desi wedding as fun and crazy as they can ever be. Here is a list of some of the guests that will literally make you go *facepalm!*
THE PUSHY AUNTY –
This aunty is a must at every shaadi. Despite her heavy clothes and bulky self she will knock you out of the way from the dance floor to khanay ki line. She will be everywhere. Though she doesn’t intends to do that but it just happens and she probably doesn’t even know. A roller coaster you cannot stop!
THE HUGGER UNCLE AND CHEESY AUNTY –
The awkward moment when you go for a handshake and they hug you instead. Every wedding has this uncle who extra loud and will see it as his duty to every person he meets. Then there is this aunty who is so happy so see everyone and is bound to hug and plant a kiss on cheeks of all the ladies and the younger ones.
JOLLY GOOD FELLOW –
There is always this one person who is laughing and cracking jokes with other guests. Usually it’s an uncle. You’ll see him socialising with almost everyone and people love to meet him. You will see him on the dance floor, you’ll see him when you enter, you’ll see him while you are leaving. he is always there!
THE “PRO” DANCER –
The dancing gang always have this one girl who have memorised all the thumkas and steps to legit every bollywood song, that too, exactly like they were done in the movie. Then there is a guy who wants to be a showstopper and he is. There is a mandatory solo performance of this guy, even if it’s not that good, he gets all the encouragement he needs. Well, he is at least better than the rest of the dancing party.
THE GIRL GANG –
There is always this one visible gang of girls roaming about at almost every shadi. You’ll see them at the entrance throwing rose petals, you’ll see them eating together, or on the dance floor, you’ll see them ganged up around the bride and groom, you’ll see them taking pictures. But whatever they do, they are together! They can be bride’s friends or cousins you can just simply call them bridemaids. They know they are being noticed but they are too busy enjoying themselves that they just don’t care.
DULHAY KA YAAR –
You know the typical kind who thinks he’s a Godsend just by the mere virtue of being from the boy’s side? he can be the groom’s close friend or cousin but sure has a loud mouth. Every second line that leaves his mouth is, “Hum toh ladke waale hain.” Umm, okay, you want an award or something? First grow a personality. And please get that smirk off your face. Not cool!
THE “BRAND” AMBASSADOR –
Now we have no issue with the lady who is wearing too many diamonds. Like none whatsoever. But when those diamonds are accompanied by a resting face, she instantly becomes annoying. You just know that she’s wearing ‘designer’ from head to toe and judging everyone who isn’t! Get a life lady. And also a stylist.
RISHTAY WALI AUNTY –
Better watch out! This matchmaker aunty has her eyes on all the single girls and boys at ANY wedding! She considers it as her duty to act as a cupid. She knows her job and is always at it! You’ll see her interrogating the singles out there. If any such aunty approaches you – RUN! She can’t bear the thought that you’re 26 and unmarried. She will find you someone – just give her till the end of mehndi night. May the odds be with you!
HYPER KIDS –
You know as well as we do that every wedding has its share of hyperactive children just running all over the place. They are near the cake when it’s being cut, they are falling off the stage, they are stamping on your dupatta and they are making more noise than the DJ. Some of them really do need to come with their own remote control and instruction manual.
THE PHOTOBOMBER FRIEND –
There is always a couple of friends or at least a single person who live to photobomb. It looks fun and enjoyable, but at times it gets really very annoying. Especially if you are the main couple and cannot have a proper romantic picture just because that friends just HAS to be there in every picture making silly poses. Sigh..
