Stupidities are continued in the name of 'cultural wisdom' in many communities. One should understand that the 'relationship' is the first priority and the traditions are secondary.sibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419580767377767200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990432876050720078.post-28154559774700767982011-07-21T21:35:01.950+05:302011-07-21T21:35:01.950+05:30Thanks.

The guy's parents and relatives visit the wedding venue and comment (actually crib) about the arrangements. <br />Even when giving gifts to one another, the guy's side will give sarees to the girl's mother and sisters but the girl's side should not only buy sarees for the guy's mother and syster but also for his athai(1st cousin)/onnu vitta athai(2 cousin)and so on.Deepa Siddharthanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05694810929852030300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990432876050720078.post-1928679073401504042011-07-20T20:39:27.372+05:302011-07-20T20:39:27.372+05:30Thanks for the comment.
