Yesterday i attended an Indian Wedding... You see, when I was invited, the 1st thing came in my mind was alot of coloured rice and flowers decorations, coconut water splashing, even a fire pit in the middle like the one we always see in the movies and photos. and that's the wedding that I expected for it was my 1st time attending a real Indian wedding.
When I got there with my friends, i was surprised! No colourful flowers anywhere in the big hall; there's tables with numbers and the food was served chinese-style-round-tabled; name was written in english with they're hindi style; no coconut anywhere for me to get my hands on; and (yes!you've got it) no fire pit in the middle.
It was a formal Modern wedding like every other chinese and some malay's weddings I've been to, but they did put in some really awesome bangra songs that I can't stop moving my head to.
so here's my question. Do people nowadays really forget about their cultural heritage? I mean, I know that's not what they intended but somehow does the western really brought a big impact to us Malaysian?
(blank) I got no answer to that.
If I were Indian or to marry an Indian, I would want all that cultural stuff because to me it's important to remind me where i come from and the legacy that I bring to my culture.
So, if any Indians out there who's getting married the more cultural way, please invite me so I can experience it myself. Please? =P
love, Shahila Johan
