The Great Handfasting Project: Secular Wedding Planning Books

While historical sources about pre-Christian weddings and books written by modern pagans can give you a lot of good ideas for your ceremony, many of them don't cover the most stressful part of getting married: planning, budgeting, scheduling, and managing a modern wedding.

My fiance and I decided in December to move our wedding date up from August of 2024 to August of 2023 -- cutting our planning time from nineteen months to just over seven months. This meant we had a lot less time than intended to make a guest list, make a budget, book a venue, send out invitations, buy our outfits, arrange catering for the reception, and all the other things you have to do to make a wedding happen. It also meant that our timeline was a little more rushed than we'd originally intended.

Because our timeline had suddenly shrunk, we decided to prioritize planning the reception first, then start writing a script for our ceremony after we'd nailed down reception details. We did this because we knew our reception was going to have more than three times as many guests as our ceremony and would be what we spent most of our budget on. Our reception is also going to be 100% secular out of consideration for guests who may not be comfortable attending a pagan ceremony but who still want to support us.

I cope with new and stressful situations by reading about them. Research is the balm that soothes my worries and the foundation that lets me build my own kickass plans. When we decided to move up our wedding date, I immediately went out and bought a couple of books to help me navigate the many big and small decisions I'd have to make in the coming months.

The Everything Guide to Micro Weddings by Katie Martin

When I first started looking into planning my own wedding, I quickly learned that what my fiance and I wanted to do is called a "micro wedding." According to Katie Martin, a micro wedding is any wedding or commitment ceremony with fewer than 50 guests. I feel like most pagan weddings end up falling into this category. (Something about pagans makes us prefer small, intimate gatherings, I guess?)

Pros

Katie Martin is actually a professional wedding planner, so this book very much comes across as expert advice from an industry professional.

There's lots of good, practical advice about logistics, which is exactly what I wanted. This book taught me how to make a wedding planning spreadsheet, and I love that.

I like that the author includes advice for dealing with family members' expectations for your wedding day, especially when they would have liked to see you do things differently. I think a lot of this advice is relevant to pagans whose family doesn't understand why they want a handfasting, or anyone else who has to gently break it to their grandmother that they aren't having a church wedding. I felt like these sections did help prepare me to defend our decision to do a small, casual wedding and my decision not to have my biological father present even though several of my siblings are still close to him.

This book is LGBTQ+ inclusive!

I also love that the author gives practical advice for interfaith and multicultural weddings, including alternatives for when one or both religions doesn't allow interfaith ceremonies.

I like that the author addresses guest dietary needs in the sections on planning the menu. For example, she recommends asking guests about food allergies before finalizing the menu, making sure to have vegan/vegetarian options, and offering non-alcoholic drinks for toasts. As a vegetarian with Celiac Disease, I appreciate this and can testify that it's unfortunately not something every wedding planner thinks about.

This book was written after the pandemic and includes tips and ideas for celebrating during quarantine, which is really helpful.

The appendix has literal checklists you can use to plan different parts of your wedding.

Cons

Katie Martin is a professional wedding planner who specializes in destination weddings, and it shows. She discusses destination weddings a lot in this book. Maybe it's just because I'm not planning a destination wedding, but I felt like that topic could have been its own book instead of being lumped into this one.

The "environmentalist" politics of this book are inconsistent. At one point, Martin says that one of the main draws of micro weddings is that they have a smaller carbon footprint than bigger weddings, which I'm sure is true. But just a few chapters later, she gives a list of potential locations for destination weddings that includes Hawaii and other places where both the environment and Native people are seriously harmed by tourism. This is a very minor gripe, but it annoyed me and felt a little bit like greenwashing.

I wish Martin gave price estimates for the things she suggests. I understand that she probably didn't want to date her book by including exact numbers, but a rough estimate would have been helpful. There are almost no numbers given, and when the author says that Option X is cheaper than Option Y, she doesn't say how much cheaper it is. This makes it hard to think about budgeting while reading.

It really rubbed me the wrong way that this author subscribes to the outdated etiquette of referring to married women as "Mrs. [husband's name]" in invitations and programs. Martin even says divorced women should be addressed as "Mrs. [ex-husband's name]" if they haven't remarried! This is based on the incredibly patriarchal idea that women's identities are defined by their husbands, and if I received a wedding invite that addressed me this way, I wouldn't go. There are also no alternatives given for addressing same-gender couples. This just feels like an incredibly old-fashioned and misogynist inclusion in a book that is otherwise very modern.

Overall rating: 4/5 stars

Would I recommend it? Yes, especially if you're doing most of the planning for your wedding yourself.

Offbeat Bride by Ariel Meadow Stallings

When my fiance and I first decided to (literally) tie the knot, Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride) was an incredibly helpful source of inspiration. It was the first time I'd ever seen photos of polyamorous weddings, which I immediately sent to all of my partners with lots of hearts and crying emojis. It's also a goldmine of inspiration for queer weddings, nonbinary/genderqueer weddings, disabled weddings, and so much more. So when I learned that the site's founder had written a wedding planning book, I knew it would be an invaluable resource.

(Note: This book has been revised twice since it was originally published. The version I read is the third edition, which is the most recent version.)

Pros

This book addresses things I've never seen talked about in other wedding planning resources, like the conflict of hating the beauty industrial complex for making money off insecurities they created vs. wanting to look nice for your wedding photos. (Because even if you don't hire a photographer, someone is gonna take photos.) I loved this book's "do what you gotta do" approach and the emphasis on feeling comfortable and beautiful on your special day.

I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate the section titled "A Big-Bride Survival Guide." As a fat girl, lemme tell you: as stressful as shopping for wedding outfits already is, it's more stressful with a bigger body. And don't even get me started on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) weight loss comments from relatives. I loved that this book includes practical advice for how to navigate the entire process as a fat bride (or groom, or spouse).

This is by far the most LGBTQ+ affirming wedding planning book I've read so far. There's an entire chapter dedicated to queer weddings, but advice for queering your wedding is sprinkled throughout the rest of the book as well. "Queer wedding" also isn't only defined as two men or two women getting married. There's advice for bisexual and pansexual weddings (and the author identifies as bisexual!), asexual weddings, transgender weddings, and nonbinary/genderqueer weddings. There's even a short but sweet section on polyamorous commitment ceremonies, both for groups of more than two people who are "getting weddinged" and for polyamorous couples who may not be out to all their guests but still want to find subtle ways to include their other partners. I also really liked that the author acknowledges the struggles and hardships faced by queer couples (and throuples and more) and the importance of celebrating queer community, resilience, and chosen-family.

I really appreciate the warning about the pitfalls of wedding planning apps, magazines, and social media. The author warns readers about the risk of having so much inspiration you fall into the hole of choice paralysis or keep redoing things you already finished. She also warns about the temptation to compare your wedding to someone else's. I loved this gentle reminder to be mindful in how we engage with the wedding planning industry. Here's a wonderful direct quote: "Remember, the wedding tech is here to serve you. You are not here to serve it."

There's an entire chapter on disabilities and accessibility! I really appreciated this inclusion, and I found the advice genuinely helpful as I plan a wedding that accommodates my own chronic illnesses, my fiance's and my ADHD, several guests with mobility issues, and other guests with various other health conditions and invisible disabilities.

I loved the chapter on self-care and navigating wedding planning anxiety. Planning any big event, but especially one as legally, ideologically, and culturally loaded as a wedding, is really stressful, even if you're doing a small celebration with just close friends and family. I appreciated the acknowledgement that feeling stressed or anxious is both normal and common, and I loved that the author talked about the ways this stress can affect your physical body as well.

Overall, this is a really great book with excellent advice, and it really does cover every single aspect of wedding planning.

Cons

It's actually really hard for me to think of stuff I dislike about this book, if I'm being honest. There were a few typos, but nothing atrocious.

This book is written from the bride's perspective. The author includes lots of stories about her own wedding, and she is a woman who married a man, which definitely shaped her experience. Like I mentioned, there's a lot of good advice here for grooms and other-gendered people having weddings, and there's a lot of advice and suggestions for queer weddings. But if it's important to you to read a book about someone's firsthand experience of having a same-gender wedding, or of being a transgender bride/groom, or of navigating the wedding industry when you don't identify with a binary gender, this book isn't that.

Overall rating: 5/5 stars

Would I recommend it? Yes!!! Especially if you're having a "nontraditional" wedding.

Capturing Cultural Elegance: Pakistan Wedding Photographer Brisbane

In the vibrant tapestry of Brisbane’s multicultural landscape, Pakistani weddings stand out as grand celebrations of love, tradition, and unity. The beauty of these events lies in their rich cultural significance, intricate rituals, and the deep emotions that flow through every moment. To capture the essence of such a special occasion, finding the right Pakistan Wedding Photographer Brisbane is paramount. A photographer who understands both the technical and cultural aspects of these weddings can transform fleeting moments into timeless memories.

The Essence of Pakistani Weddings

Pakistani weddings are not just a union of two individuals; they represent the merging of two families, steeped in centuries-old traditions. Each ceremony, from the vibrant Mehndi to the solemn Nikah, is filled with symbolic gestures that honor the couple's heritage and faith. The celebrations often extend over several days, involving an array of events that require meticulous attention to detail from the photographer.

For a Pakistan Wedding Photographer Brisbane, understanding the cultural nuances is as important as mastering the technical skills of photography. Each ritual, whether it’s the exchange of garlands, the application of henna, or the signing of the marriage contract, holds deep meaning. A photographer with a keen eye and cultural awareness can capture these moments with sensitivity and precision, ensuring that the final images resonate with the couple’s values and traditions.

The Role of the Photographer

A skilled Wedding Photographer Brisbane does more than just document the day’s events; they tell a story. This storytelling begins with understanding the couple’s vision for their wedding. Whether they desire a traditional ceremony, a fusion of cultures, or a modern twist on age-old customs, the photographer must align their style with the couple’s expectations.

Pakistani weddings are known for their vivid colors, intricate details, and emotional moments. Capturing these elements requires a photographer who can anticipate moments before they happen. From the bride’s shy glance as she steps into her bridal attire to the groom’s proud smile as he arrives with his Barat, every expression tells a part of the love story.

One of the key responsibilities of a Wedding Photographeris to ensure that these stories are preserved in a way that can be cherished for generations. The final images should not just be a collection of photos but a cohesive narrative that takes the couple back to the emotions and joy of their wedding day.

Navigating Cultural Sensitivities

One of the most significant challenges for a Wedding Photographeris navigating the cultural sensitivities that are integral to Pakistani weddings. Each event, from the pre-wedding rituals to the final reception, is deeply rooted in Islamic traditions and cultural practices. Respecting these traditions while capturing them beautifully requires a deep understanding of the customs involved.

For example, the Nikah, or marriage contract, is a sacred ceremony that requires a respectful and unobtrusive approach. The photographer must be discreet, capturing the solemnity and significance of the vows without disrupting the flow of the event. Similarly, during the Rukhsati, where the bride leaves her family home, the photographer must be attuned to the emotions of the moment, capturing the bittersweet farewell with sensitivity.

A photographer who is well-versed in these cultural aspects can ensure that the wedding is documented in a way that honors the couple’s heritage while also creating stunning visual memories.

The Importance of Building Trust

Weddings are deeply personal events, and for a photographer to capture the most intimate and emotional moments, there needs to be a level of trust between them and the couple. This trust is built through communication, understanding, and a shared vision for how the day should be documented.

A professional Wedding Photographertakes the time to get to know the couple before the wedding. This relationship allows the couple to feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, leading to more natural and candid photographs. It also ensures that the photographer understands what moments are most important to the couple, whether it’s the emotional moments during the Rukhsati or the joyous celebration of the Mehndi.

Building this rapport is crucial, as it enables the photographer to capture the true essence of the couple’s relationship and the joy of their wedding day.

Capturing the Details

In Pakistani weddings, every detail matters. From the intricate embroidery on the bride’s dress to the elaborate décor of the wedding venue, these elements contribute to the overall atmosphere of the celebration. A Pakistan Wedding Photographer Brisbane needs to have an eye for detail, ensuring that nothing is overlooked.

The bride’s jewelry, the groom’s sherwani, the floral arrangements, and the beautifully set stage are all integral parts of the wedding and deserve to be captured with care. These details not only add to the beauty of the photographs but also help to tell the complete story of the wedding day.

In addition to the big moments, such as the exchange of vows or the couple’s first dance, the photographer should also focus on the smaller, more intimate details that make each wedding unique. These might include the bride’s nervous laughter as she gets ready, the groom’s proud expression as he waits for his bride, or the joy of family and friends as they celebrate together.

Conclusion

A Pakistan Wedding Photographer Brisbane plays a crucial role in documenting one of the most important days in a couple’s life. Through a combination of cultural understanding, technical skill, and a passion for storytelling, the right photographer can transform the fleeting moments of a wedding day into timeless memories that will be cherished for years to come.

For couples planning their Pakistani wedding in Brisbane, choosing a photographer who understands these nuances is essential. The right photographer will not just take pictures but will tell your love story through their lens, providing you with a cherished collection of memories that will last a lifetime.

6. Entertainment Unlimited

Entertainment is the oomph factor of an Indian wedding. That’s why choosing appropriate musicians and entertainers is essential for an Indian wedding. Catering to this need requires Indian wedding planners to have a deep knowledge of both contemporary and traditional Indian music.

Government Service Matrimony – Reclaim Your Right to Marry

Government service matrimony is a unique form of matrimony that is specifically designed for those who serve in various branches of government. As the name implies, this type of matrimony provides government workers with the chance to find their life partners through an open system that doesn't limit them to their existing social circles. This type of matrimony recognizes the unique needs of the government service sector and offers a safe and secure way for like-minded public servants to find true love.

At its core, government service matrimony is simple: it provides a platform for potential partners to find one another without any prejudice or discrimination based on caste, class, or other factors. By removing these barriers, government service matrimony allows much greater freedom of choice for those looking for their ideal life partner. This eliminates any potential hindrances to finding the right person and allows people to make informed decisions about choosing their spouse.

The process works much like any other type of matrimony, where interested individuals register their details on an online portal and have access to potential matches from around the country. The site then runs advanced algorithms to match people based on various compatibility criteria. Those matches are then presented to both parties for vetting before any further steps are taken. Once both parties are satisfied with the match, communication channels can be opened for further conversations and eventual marriage.

The main advantage of government service matrimony is that it removes the need for family recommendations that can often be a hindrance in more traditional forms of matrimony. Since this type of matrimony operates independently outside of family networks, it ensures that everyone involved has access to a fair and open system where they can make their own decisions about choosing a partner without worrying about outside interference or judgment. It also helps to build bridges between different communities by allowing people from all walks of life to find their ideal match without worrying about the limitations normally imposed by caste and class boundaries. This creates greater social harmony between different groups and adds an extra layer of security for those who are looking for someone special in their lives.

Government service matrimony also offers a wide range of services that make it easier for public servants to find their life partners. This includes providing counseling services for those who may be looking for guidance on how to approach marriage or suggesting various marriage-related services such as wedding planners, music bands, and so forth. The site also offers helpful advice on how to conduct oneself during marriage rituals and ceremonies so that everyone involved feels comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.

What's more, many government service matrimony sites also offer specialized services related to multicultural marriages. Since many public servants end up marrying outside of their own cultures due to work-related commitments or personal preferences, these sites provide additional support on how to navigate this tricky terrain when it comes time for the actual wedding day. In addition, many sites even offer pre-wedding counseling services so that both parties are aware of what they're getting themselves into before committing themselves fully to each other permanently. This is just another example of how government service matrimony works hard to make sure that everyone involved has the best experience possible when it comes time for them to tie the knot!

The bottom line is that government service matrimony is an incredibly useful tool for those looking for true love no matter what profession or walk of life they may come from or belong in. It provides a safe platform where people can express themselves openly, find compatible matches from any background, and learn about how best to approach marriage in an informed manner. No matter what your current relationship status may be right now, government service matrimony is here to offer you a helping hand in making sure that you reclaim your right to marry who you choose without fear or judgment!

Lowkey venting about things that mildly annoyed me even though they really shouldn’t bother me so much

I had a socially-distanced wedding last weekend, in a public park with 7 guests (my parents, his parents and sister, a friend who acted as officiant and his wife). Aside from a few maskless photos taken before the other guests arrived and us removing our masks for a quick kiss before putting them back on, everyone wore masks the entire time. His parents were extra careful and stood at least a couple of feet away even for most of the photos. After the short ceremony, we all dispersed and my partner later delivered takeout dinner for us to eat in our respective homes.

It wasn’t anywhere close to the wedding we had just started to plan pre-COVID (multicultural ceremony with Western and Eastern element, being surrounded by lots of friends and family including my bridesmaids and his groomsmen, a Chinese banquet-style reception dinner with super tasty food, etc), but it was still somewhat nice. Hell, I didn’t even wear my actual wedding dress, which I’m saving for when we’re able to safely have a large wedding party.

And then later on Facebook I see people post photos of their weddings, some from the very same weekend I got married. Photos of brides with bridesmaids around them, fixing the bride’s hair and assisting with her big day. Photos of grandparents and extended family and lots of guests, maskless and hugging. Photos of wedding cakes and reception dinners and everyone happily eating together. And it’s so upsetting to me, partly because it seems like they’re disregarding the pandemic and putting people at risk, and partly because I’m envious of how they’re able to celebrate in ways that I wished I could but was not able to.

Another thing that slightly annoyed me that’s only tangentially related: I posted “Happy birthday” on a friend’s Facebook feed and she responded with “Thank you Mrs. [partner’s last name]. I understand that she’s mainly referencing the fact that I recently got married and it’s very common for women to take their husband’s last name, but it rubbed me the wrong way because I have no intention of changing my name and don’t buy into the idea that a woman’s identity changes just because she got married (also due to laziness because name changes are a hassle, but still).

Maybe the moral of this story is that I should stop using Facebook lol.

Indian weddings are all about family get-togethers with lots of naach gaana, prettiest of jewellery designs, designer outfits and delicious food.

Top 30 Fantastic Experience Of This Year’s Indian Home Design Photos | indian home design photos

This week, Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal—two bodies Westerners adeptness never accept heard of—got affiliated in a bells estimated to bulk $100 million.

30 Inspirational Home Design Plans with Photos In India … – indian home design photos | indian home design photos

Ambani is the babe of baron Mukesh Ambani, a man account an estimated $45 billion whose adeptness into technology, food, and bolt accomplish him like an Indian adaptation of Jeff Bezos. Piramal is the son of addition business scion, a adolescence acquaintance of Ambani.

Ambani and Piramal’s bells has been the acme of what has been an abnormally absurd bells division over the accomplished few weeks in India.

Isha and her fiancé affiliated decked in diamonds, with the starriest of Bollywood stars bad-tempered on a red carpeting alfresco alcazar doors for paparazzi. The bells was advertisement on a ample awning alfresco the family’s 27-story, $1 billion home, assuming walls smothered in white flowers.

It makes the burning of bells agreeable on amusing media that abundant added awe-inspiring for me.

As an Indian-American, I grew up watching Bollywood movies, lip-synching Hindi lyrics forth with the actors and spending an disproportionate bulk of time watching three-hour continued Bollywood movies. (It’s additionally important to point out that Bollywood is abundant added complicated, diverse, and absorbing than the academic images of bodies dancing and face lyrics, but I digress.)

I accept the inherent, acute cultural accent of the bells in Indian culture, and how Bollywood has exploited that to the max. As a actuality who works in media, I accept how amusing media makes “Instagram-official” and brand a modern, able currency.

But what I don’t understand, and can’t appear to grips with, is how throwing a $100 actor bells achieves annihilation above aloof rights.

Sure, it’s a wedding, aloof one wedding, but still it’s account asking: What does the deluge of apparent burning beggarly in the face of the problems adverse abounding of Ambani’s advisers and their families and adolescent countrymen? What does it beggarly to bandy a $100 actor bells back a cogent allocation of the citizenry attempt to acquire alike $1 a day?

“Imagine the appulse #AmbaniWedding would accept had if Mukesh donated hundreds of crores spent on asinine ball & music caricature & allotment flts [sic] to amusing causes,” a above agent tweeted, suggesting the brace could accept calmly had a simpler bells and donated the blow of their budget.

To be sure, Indian bells division is apparent by affluence and grandeur; the country’s ascendant Hindu acceptance entails assorted canicule of events, parties, and celebrations, with guests generally calculation in the hundreds, and parents refinancing their mortgages and elimination their accumulation for what is culturally advised a anniversary event.

In added words, Indian bells season—which about runs in the winter to booty advantage of the subcontinent’s added abstemious altitude at that time and what is advised an advantageous time of year for Hindus—is usually one that overflows with a blithesome abandon of excess.

But Indian bells division 2018 has been a accomplished altered monster.

Modern Indian house in 2400 square feet – Kerala home … – indian home design photos | indian home design photos

It all started a few weeks ago, about Thanksgiving, with the bells of the actors commensurable to Brangelina at their height: Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, who’d agilely anachronous for bristles years and alone appear they were clearly in a accord about a ages above-mentioned to advertisement their assurance and wedding.

Padukone was the babe of a civic badminton champion, with a blur in Hollywood via the Vin Diesel activity flick xXx: Return of Xander Cage; calm with Singh, the brace had aerated out a alternation of blockbuster aeon hits that had accustomed them as A-list actors and stars.

The brace autonomous for an intimate, clandestine commemoration in Lake Como (site of the conjugal vows of George and Amal Clooney), with paparazzi stationed nearby, aggressive to abduction the aboriginal images of the couple.

Padukone and Singh didn’t absolution photos for a day or two, bidding memes from animated admirers blockage up all night and auspicious their feeds to get the aboriginal images of the brace as they came out.

In acceptable fashion, Padukone and Singh captivated not one, not two, but (at least) four receptions afterwards their bifold ceremonies (Padukone is Konkani, Singh is Sindhi; India’s all-inclusive cultural assortment agency bells ceremonies alter broadly from arena to region).

It was baroque and deliciously gaudy, with Bollywood aristocracy accession decked in bejeweled saris; at one event, the abundantly fashionable benedict sported a sparkling cat on one accept of his kurta, or continued tunic.

The Western media almost batted an eyelid. Two Bollywood stars accepting married, afterwards all, wasn’t a big deal, no bulk the actuality that they had the pocketbooks and adherence of about a billion people.

The abutting weekend apparent the the axis point in Indian bells division on the apple stage: Bollywood crossover brilliant Priyanka Chopra, who had auspiciously accustomed a Hollywood career afterwards years as a top extra in India, was set to ally American jailbait baby Nick Jonas.

The two had anachronous aloof a brace months afore acceptable engaged, marrying two advantageous and invested amusing media platforms with the advertisement of their own approaching wedding.

It helped that they were unexpected: Chopra is 10 years earlier than Jonas, bidding a biographer at The Cut to columnist a widely-panned commodity calling Chopra a betray artisan and the horse that Jonas rode in for his baraat (or access to his bells ceremony) a prop.

It absolutely wasn’t a bland way for Indian weddings to admit themselves into Western consciousness, but altercation is the mother of all viral Twitter trends, and The Cut’s racist, sexist, ageist allotment arrive a bulk of acrimony and accusation for the site. It prompted abundant edits, consecutive abatement of the article, and an acknowledgment from the columnist herself on Twitter.

But Chopra and Jonas’ bells and the bulk of advantage it received—down to a 75-foot blind that mirrored the arroyo covering alternation she wore in her aboriginal actualization with Jonas—did article that had never been done before: It fabricated Indian weddings… normal.

“For the third weekend in a row, Instagram photos of celebrities draped in accurate chunk and artist accoutrement abounding into our feeds”

Western commentators discussed mehndi (where females accumulate to bless the helpmate and adorn themselves with henna) and baraat ceremonies as if they were chatty in intricate, age-old Sanskrit customs. In an age back multicultural couples are on the rise, Chopra and Jonas became an careless archetype for how two cultures could appear calm for a abutment seamlessly.

And this week, the Ambani wedding. For the third weekend in a row, Instagram photos of celebrities draped in accurate chunk and artist accoutrement abounding into our feeds.

Where the Padukone-Singh bells was a archetypal celebrity Bollywood bells (between two stars, abundantly abandoned by Western media) and the Chopra-Jonas bells was a avant-garde booty on attitude (older woman, adolescent man; a white Christian man with a Hindu woman; a bicultural wedding), the Ambani bells is an absurd one that makes for its own axis point: that of the acceleration of the uber-rich in India.

In a way, it was the ultimate acme of the old and new in Indian weddings. Like Padukone and Singh, the brace captivated an busy assurance affair in Italy; like Chopra and Jonas, the ancestors bought out a alcazar in the burghal of Udaipur.

But that’s area the similarities end. The pre-wedding bashes featured guests and advisers aureate in on accountant flights from above Indian cities, acting housing, and aliment and added appurtenances accepting distinctively alien in to abutment the aggression of traffic.

A date was set for ball performances, on which above Bollywood stars old and new staged elaborately choreographed routines amidst advanced lighting and abstruse effects. The icing on the block was the absolute achievement by Beyoncé and a affiliation of advancement dancers put on for the party.

The wedding, captivated on Wednesday with “only” about 600 guests, including Hillary Clinton, government officials, and adopted dignitaries, was adequately acceptable as Indian weddings go, with the Ambani family’s abundance on abounding display.

The Ambani bells has been alleged the “big fat Indian wedding” by Indian media because alike by Indian standards, the Ambani bells is outsized to the point of actuality excessive.

One altercation is that the Ambanis accept money; why shouldn’t they bless one of the best agitative times in their family’s history by aerial Queen Bey in? Why shouldn’t the richest ancestors in South Asia advertise their immense wealth?

But critics accept airtight the bells for its excesses, decidedly in ablaze of the socioeconomic troubles India continues to face.

If anything, the Ambani bells is a cultural axis point in the Western apperception of India and its weddings. It is extraordinary for abounding non-Indian assemblage in the West because it does not cobweb with the academic angel of India some have: a backwards country that struggles with abjection and starvation.

Modern House Plans Front View Indian Home Design Elevation Style … – indian home design photos | indian home design photos

Those problems still exist, but acknowledgment to bread-and-butter reforms in the 1990s that opened the country to adopted markets, India has fabricated huge strides in addition that accept fabricated its a axis of abstruse development—and with it, a ascent chic of nouveau riche that aftermath aristocratic families like the Ambanis.

The Ambani ancestors is the latest to ballista Indian weddings into the Western boilerplate and accomplish them beneath “exotic.” But at what cost?

The weddings’ over-the-topness makes for alloyed animosity for abounding onlookers. On the one hand, the amateur bite of Indian celebrity weddings are a acceptance on the apple date that India and its banishment are here. The weddings are a able bread-and-butter adenoids that India and its core of celebrities are added than able of alluring all-embracing brands who see the country as a able approaching advance in an contrarily airy all-embracing retail market. Both Padukone and Singh accept starred in arresting all-embracing actualization spreads. Chopra and Jonas’ bells contest admiring a account of brands on amusing media through sponsored content.

The Ambanis move above ad campaigns, above alike their adeptness to bandy a clandestine Beyoncé concert and get Maison Valentino to architecture her accession lehenga (long bizarre skirt). The Ambani name is so economically intertwined with the Indian abridgement that their bells becomes a business agent in and of itself.

But what does that over-the-topness absolutely represent? Bollywood’s escapist roots are a absorption of postwar India, back the apparition of colonialism and the agitated action for adeptness fabricated account routines and fairytale adventure curve a acute way to accord with hardships and trauma.

Weddings in those movies were generally alike added escapist in that they accommodate choreographed routines and bizarre saris that accustomed Indians adeptness accept aspired to. With the nouveau riche’s adeptness to butt these #weddinggoals and again some, the adeptness has somehow afflicted Bollywood, not the added way around.

And with that comes the accountability of actuality an example. To be fair to the Ambanis—matriarch Nita Ambani leads the company’s namesake accommodating arm—the wedding’s anniversary included a four-day seva, or association service, by agriculture 5,100 differently-abled and beneath advantageous people, forth with a ability fair showcasing handmade art.

The altercation was fabricated that the Ambani bells was absolutely one big fat Indian bread-and-butter impetus. It was an accomplishment to abate the Ambanis and any criticism that adeptness appear their way. And it is a association account to be commended, one that shows that the family’s abundant abundance can additionally be acclimated for good.

But it’s that adequacy to accomplish lives bigger assorted with the blatant affluence of the bells that is adamantine to digest.

The Ambanis accept fabricated it not alone a comedy to be commented on and accepted by bodies who adeptness never accept accepted the intricacies and specific cultural appulse of an Indian wedding, but accept additionally accustomed bodies who adeptness not accept that array of abundance a glimpse into how the super-rich live, article like what the Kardashians adeptness action here.

This is not to say the Ambanis shouldn’t celebrate their child’s wedding, or that added families shouldn’t put on a appearance if they appetite to. Weddings are ultimately a absorption of the brace and their families advancing together, and it is up to them to bandy the bells they want. As biographer Jaya Saxena acicular out, if Isha Ambani capital a behemothic absurd wedding, who are we to say annihilation adjoin that?

Ultimately, these weddings attempt in the ultra-competitive amusing media amplitude to abduction our voyeuristic attention: our likes, and our conversations. They additionally uncomfortably, silently, allegorize the abysm amid the haves and the have-nots, and admire boundless burning in the chase to be anytime added accordant and spectacular. The amusing media images may be pretty, but the bigger adventure of abundance and asperity basement them is far added complex, and can’t be smoothed over with any bulk of chunk and airbrushing.

Walt Disney World Resort to Offer Quinceanera Celebrations

Quinceanera parties, the traditional Latin coming-of-age celebrations, have arrived at Walt Disney World Resort.

From a fully customized celebration based on a family's ideas to pre-designed, themed Quinceanera events that take away all the worry of planning, Disney is offering these tradition-steeped extravaganzas for girls turning age 15 -- a passage from flat-soled shoes and dolls to high heels, elaborate gowns and young womanhood.

For Disney, already experienced in creating lavish occasions such as weddings, offering Quinceanera celebrations to the Hispanic community is a natural. With more than a million Latinas turning 15 in an average year, many may want to combine this tradition with the family fun of Walt Disney World Resort while celebrating their Quinceaneras at the Vacation Kingdom.

Working with Disney event planners, guests can enhance any event with memorable options such as superb elegance befitting a real princess, Cinderella's enchanted crystal coach, and much more. And with a variety of magical settings and venues -- from grand ballrooms to intimate spaces in resort hotels to one-of-a-kind locations at the Disney's MGM Studios and Epcot theme parks, Walt Disney World Resort offers nearly limitless possibilities.

Disney-designed Quinceaneras include everything from Disney-style entertainment and food-and-beverage menus to fairy tale linens and specially designed centerpieces, with three choices of theme:

* A Reflection of You -- Your Quinceanera in the midst of the world's most spectacular fireworks displays; "Illuminations: Reflections of Earth" at Epcot. Here the quince girl and her closest friends will enjoy decadent desserts while experiencing Disney's premier nighttime spectacular in a private setting overlooking majestic World Showcase Lagoon. Guests will be captivated by the magical merging of eleven different cultures from around the globe in this unique setting for the ultimate Quinceanera gathering, starting at $1,800.

* Dancing with a Star -- Your Quinceanera celebration dazzles at a designated Disney resort hotel or theme park with a hip, multilingual DJ spinning the latest tunes. With a variety of delicious menu options available, this Quinceanera party can be either reception-style or light buffet dinner with talented Disney chefs preparing an unforgettable meal for the group, at a starting price of $6,900.

* Belle of the Ball -- A Quinceanera dream-come-true, when she becomes princess of this majestic ball. Trees lavished with twinkle lights, floor-length linens pixie dusted with organza, chair covers with sash, artistic centerpieces at the tables, tiered cake, photography, and other elements will make the dining and dancing guests feel like they are in a true royal gathering. Available to groups of 100 or more celebrants, Belle of the Ball is priced starting at $20,000.

This traditional ceremony of the Quinceanera can be enhanced by a Cinderella Castle facade, storybook entrance, horse-drawn carriage and favorite Disney characters.

To celebrate the launch of this new offering, the resort treated a group of lucky debutantes to a memorable Quinceanera on Tuesday, May 1. A part of "The Year of a Million Dreams" celebration, A Dream Come True Quinceanera honored 15 girls selected from all over the United States and Puerto Rico through an essay contest with the help of Hispanic media partners.

For this very special occasion, Walt Disney World Resort created the most magical Quinceanera party ever planned in any Disney park. It was an unprecedented all-Spanish language-event at the Magic Kingdom Cinderella Castle stage, where dads ceremoniously changed flat shoes for high heels and waltzed with their daughters as they reached young womanhood. The memorable evening included a dinner reception in Fantasyland with mariachis, hip DJ music, a serenade by Grammy Award-winning pop sensation Fonseca and a nearly eleven-foot tiered cake. A fabulous fireworks finale lit up the skies as the Quinceaneras were whisked away in horse-drawn carriages down Main Street, U.S.A. with the rising sun.

The popular "Show de Cristina" on the Univision Spanish language network will air a special edition, A Dream Come True Quinceanera, on May 28 at 10 p.m. ET. Talk show host Cristina Saralegui had the honor of being the Madrina (Godmother) of the enchanted celebration.

David's Bridal, the nation's leading bridal retailer, was also involved, making sure each of the 15 girls was dressed in a manner befitting a princess. They provided a Quinceanera gown and tiara to each. Airfare for Quinceaneras and their families was provided courtesy of Southwest Airlines.

"We are really proud to bring to life an event as significant as A Dream Come True Quinceanera during the celebration of 'The Year of a Million Dreams' at the Disney parks," said Denise Godreau, senior vice president of Global Multicultural Marketing for Disney Parks. "This event, without precedent, combined the magic and the enchantment of Disney with the beautiful tradition that has so much significance for Hispanic families."
