The wedding season has returned to India, transforming from a traditional celebration into a fashion statement. Social media is flooded with videos, photoshoots, and extravagant functions, as couples strive to make their weddings go viral.
Amidst this trend, a groom's list has captured widespread attention. Just before the wedding rituals, he handed his father-in-law a paper detailing his requests. Surprisingly, these were not demands for dowry but rather a call to uphold simplicity, respect, and tradition. The father-in-law was moved upon reading the list, and many who encountered it praised the groom's thoughtful approach.
Demands That Resonate
This post quickly gained traction on social media, amassing millions of views. The groom, whose name remains unknown, is recognized for his effort to 'restore dignity to marriage traditions.' His list included ten points that challenge contemporary wedding norms.
- First demand: No pre-wedding shoots. According to the groom, the wedding day is meant for them, not for social media.
- Second demand: The bride will wear a saree instead of a lehenga.
- Third demand: Soft instrumental music will replace loud, vulgar tunes.
- Fourth demand: Only the bride and groom will be on stage during the garland exchange.
- Fifth demand: No one will lift the bride or groom during the ceremony.
- Sixth demand: The priest should not be disturbed while chanting mantras, whether for photos or conversations.
- Seventh demand: Photographers will maintain distance during rituals and not intrude.
- Eighth demand: The couple will not pose for pictures.
- Ninth demand: The wedding will take place during the day, with the farewell in the evening, allowing guests to return home at a reasonable hour.
- Final demand: No one will ask the newlyweds to kiss.
Winning Hearts
People were touched by this list, as it emphasizes the sanctity of relationships over dowry. The groom stated, “This is not just my wedding; it’s the foundation of our shared life.” The post went viral shortly after being shared.
