Hear me out…
I absolutely love Indian culture and wedding rituals — the colors, the music, the chaos, the aunties judging outfits. All of it. But lately, it’s getting a little too extra.
It starts with “100 days to go” posts. Then 99 days to go. Then 57 days, 13 hours, 5 minutes to go. Like… are we counting down to a wedding or a rocket launch?
Next up — the reels. Oh god, the reels. Cringe dance moves, overly dramatic slow-mos, and a couple’s page with a hashtag like #ShaadiSagaOfSidAndSimran. Nobody needed that, Simran.
Meanwhile, the relatives in the background look like they’d rather be anywhere else. Uncle’s thinking about his chai. Bua’s judging the lehenga. Dadi is asleep.
And once the wedding is done, it’s honeymoon photos in Bali or Maldives, followed by “1 week of love,” “1 month of magical moments,” “3 months of forever”. At this point, I’m expecting a “12 days of Shaadi Christmas” series.
Look, I’m happy you found love. But not everyone needs to act like an Instagram influencer. Influencers do it for content and brand deals. You’re doing it for… likes from coworkers and your mom’s kitty party group?
And let’s not forget — regular folks are now blowing lakhs to keep up with this circus. For what? A highlight reel and awkward family dance videos?
Am I overthinking or just tired of this wedding influencer epidemic?
True. Most of this is happening because of the FOMO culture that is being instilled (consciously/unconsciously) into everybody's minds by so many influencers. In turn, as you correctly pointed out, many people are succumbing to peer pressure and going out of their means and ways to "feel relevant". Ego and showing-off nature also have some role to play here.
Even I'm not against all this, but one should do so keeping in mind their own financial status and personal preferences, not out of pressure from family or society. And, 1 or 2 posts/videos from each ritual is enough! 🤦🏻♀️
So many people have even gone bankrupt because of all this nonsense! 🤦🏻♀️ And another ridiculous idea that many people have is that if they have had a feast at someone's wedding, they are "obliged" to offer them the same at their own wedding. 😑
I think it's high time we take some bold collective decisions to stop this stupidity! If not, these absurd ideas will keep penetrating through the future generations and there won't be any end to this.
A few people getting into court marriages might serve as an example to friends and others, and might empower them to take similar decisions.
We will have to take some baby steps as stupidity cannot be eradicated all at once. 🤷🏻♀️
Brudda I have to watch my crush (once upon a time crush now I laugh at my choices) do this 6 months long content in her marriage she got married in 2020 and this Jan she divorced.
Now I laugh my ass out on all those cringe shit because she now uses those old posts to somehow paint the ex- husband wrong because she was not able to get his property shares.
Always with attacking men now funny shit. So just look at them posts laugh to tour heart's content and then forget about them. Been doing that since couple of years and it's a bliss.
Another example: a cousin of mine got married a year back she was always pointing out that I didn't like any of her posts from pre wedding to post wedding and all I said was sista I can scroll through 1800 posts of your liking it, good to assume that I got one less person to invite to any gatherings.
Uninstall instagram
Already done that
They have invaded WhatsApp too
Completely agree, seems like everyone is in a competition to show off
