Earlier there were days where the groom and the girl don't meet... They get to see each other only on the day of the wedding... There wasn't much hype on this matter.. It was just that the families meet and see whether the families would be compatible and the bride and the groom will live happily. There were no choice of going around and no talking to understand each other... The most modern thing that could have happened is make the bride and the groom see each other in a temple that too not being introduced to each other... made to see from far.... If the families were ok then no question of saying NO to marriage even if you don't like the groom or the bride.
Then things did change... The groom and the girl were introduced and allowed to talk for 5 mins or so... then photos exchange...
Then times changed still more... these days they are made to meet and talk. Marriage is finalized only if the guy and girl are ok with the marriage. They do talk for long hours over phone, chatting, going out, exchange gifts, movies, dinner, parties and so on....
Girls are bold enough to say i will accept only i see the boy personally...
But I happen to witness a strange marriage where my friend was asked to book his tickets back to India in Dec because he is getting married.. It was kinda an open invitation to him to attend his own marriage... he did not see the girl. Not even her photo. Did not know her name. He called me two days back and said finally he managed to see her... :) (2 days b4 marriage)... I just could not imagine how did he accept to such a wedding...
Is it possible in this age????? I have no choice other than to believe...
Yes its his wedding today...
May God shower his choicest blessing on the couple.....
