the havan, the chanting of the vedic hymns , the invoking of the trinity to come and bless the couple
all these look filmy onscreen but they have lot of significance.
vedic mantras are no joke. If recited properly and conducted correctly by the priest they yield good results in the life of the couple.Hindu marriage is more of a puja actually where havan is done ,seeking blessings of almighty to bless the couple, agni is the witness that s why agni sakshi and then the pheras and then kanya daan. The vedic mantras play a powerful role.
There are families who follow it with great sanctity.
Priests ,devotees, poor children, people are feeded while guests are attended and feeded at reception.
amabanis, birlas are rich modern but when it comes to follow these vedic traditions they do it with lot of sancitity.Thst why with hardwork they have blessings of godess lakshmi
Anil's should have done the traditional vedic wedding of kanyadaan , feeding the poor, priests, He would have go the merit of the good deed.
anyways nice celebrations for them.
in case of neha dhupia it was fine, both are sikhs.
