As a European who has spent a lot of time in India, this was a fun read. Your comments on traffic where pretty much exactly my thoughts after experiencing Indian traffic for the first time.
Absolutely phenomenal storytelling here. The way the 5-day compression forces everyone into this wierd collective flow state is spot-on, like how normal time just stops existing when the entire social context shifts. I've been to a few desination weddings and that "single guys volatility" observation is low-key the most accurate thing I've read about wedding dynamics. The lamb burger mistake being the catalyst for practicing dance routines at 5:30am is pure comedy gold.
This was a fantastic read and took me back to my big, fat Indian wedding. This felt like (in the best way) the way I would write emails 15 years ago. 2,000+ words, documenting each part of what happened, chronologically to put the reader right where I was. Loved it.
“Good at a few things, fine at many, serviceable at best on the dance floor” could go on my headstone

haha what a fun read, the video of the dancing choreo really was the cherry on top
Phenomenal storytelling! Counting on my Indian friends to get married soon after reading.
LOL’d hard at “apparently every culture has an undertone of ‘don’t do it!’ in regards to a man getting married”.

Now that was an adventure!
Wow, incredible wedding experience.
Thanks for sharing.
