The Girl who is dressed more than the Bride
If you think you will only see one bride in this wedding, then you are
sadly mistaken. This girl is not the bride but is dressed like one.
Usually sisters of bride & groom, or best friend come in this category. |

Rishta Seeking Aunty (Type A)
She is the mother of a son who is looking for a fair skinned smart
educated ‘Bahu’ who is ready to give up her career for making Gol Roti
for the rest of her life. Her core reason to attend the wedding is to
facilitate her hunt! |

Rishta Seeking Aunties (Type B)
She is a mother of a daughter who is looking for a “foreign return” son
in law for her daughter and dreams for settling in the US on his
sponsorship. Definitely, a Pakistani wedding is a perfect meeting place
for them. |

People who go crazy when they hear “The dinner is
being served”
The love of Biryani and Korma is definitely more worthy than anything
else for them. |

Attention seeking relatives who go mad when they
are not invited on the stage
They want to be in the lime light, but still throw tantrums on the
hosts. A photo with bride and groom is must for them.

A photographer who takes weird pictures when you
have Chicken leg in your mouth
The most bizarre moment is when the camera man throws lights on your
face when your mouth is stuffed with food.

friends”, “ A selfie with the bride” and the list goes on.. They attend
the weddings to get good selfies!
