Indian weddings are lavish, colorful, and exciting, but to Westerners it can be a little intimidating to imagine a 3 day event with 100's of your closest aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and neighbors celebrating a single nuptial. Anytime a wedding includes a blending of cultures, there are bound to be feathers that get rustled the wrong way. We all would hope that our family members could be cool enough to just back off and not over-step in the wedding planning, but we all know how family matters go– someone's going to take things too far.
