Here is what I meant when I wrote that "they glorified the wedding".
The wedding was 3 episodes long (3 days). It was very detailed and had a meaningful background song. The significance of the rituals for the bride and the groom came across nice and clear to the audience. That is what I meant by "glorified".
Now, what made the ceremony appalling was the deception. And the Shastri trio could get away with the deception because of the silly superstition (Dev could not see his bride until after the wedding).
That's all ...
