I agree that in present situation elaborate vidhis are outdated but a regular marriage is an occasion to bring all relatives together. A court marriage or a reception tends to bring in only the youngsters for the occasion. The senior members of families prefer to attend the traditional vidhis. i know a bhatji who conducts a minimized vidhi marriage and explains to the couple the significance of that vidhi in today's context. So that can be an in-between path.
I agree with above post
No one likes ott nautanki as wt celeb marriages
But defi an happy occasion to share wt close family n friends
If u have good guruji who explains every step instead of just chantin in sanskrit all those things make sense . But also there has to be faith n belief in those things for it to work just like belief in god. God is true for those who believe in it.
For me paper marriage can be adjuvant n marriages r occasions which takes u away from yur daily routine n socialise which has become so relevant in todays world
Believe me wat i see in my practice the mental health issues r so much in rise in west due to isolation , lack of socialising n not having a healthy family atmosphere or extended family lije in india here neighbors dont know whois living in next house👿
