Holding my cup in hand, I was glancing the newspaper supplement when I looked into a cartoonist image of married couple staring up at their wedding gifts.
What happens if you have to witness the
same? You open a gift box and to a surprise find a book on “self- control and
meditation”. The couple loots the guests with hard cash on wedding days. It becomes tacky to put
that down. Yet there are some families who don’t miss the chance to unwrap
their guest’s gifts.
Now a day’s no one is concerned about the fine print. Gone are the days when
parents use to keep the note of amounts, Today , more Indian families say they want you to be present without a
present on auspicious day, It’s a request made directly or poetically
on Wedding cards. Not only wealthy man but young middle class are opting
for same.
Gifting is age old tradition to contribute
towards the cost of wedding. It not only helps in expenses but also a gesture.
Occasions should be such where you get-
together, have joy and be a part of each other’s happiness. I have heard in my
relations that how much they have to spend on gifts to ensure that they don’t
want to offend the family.
When guests end up overshooting their gift
budget, they tend to get crabby. Such negative energy is not good for
occasions. It should only be a “big fat monsoon wedding.
Waiting to see my simple wedding without a”
price tag” but dear ones blessings and good wishes
