Pakistan has always been big on weddings. Everything from the dresses, locations and themes to the coordinated dances, decor and hashtags. Shaadi culture in this country can be matched with no other country in the world (FACT) (kind of). The extravagance of the events get bigger and bigger every year and it seems like everything is just going to get bigger.
Of course, wedding season (now all year round) isn’t for the faint hearted and does not necessarily appeal to everyone. The one thing that always seems to reel the haters in with however, is the food. Despite the shaandaar one dish rule implemented by our lovely government, shaadi ka khaana is still something that has all the guests swooning.
So if you hate going to weddings but love eating the food, these may be some of the thoughts that are running through your head:
1. Yaaar, shaadi peh nai jaana.
2. Shower leina paray ga.
3. Kapray istrii.
