Hindu Wedding - When is my Wedding anniversary?

If you are in India then there something about this place and that is the great Indian wedding. Do you know that wedding event is a huge market in India that doesn't worth $1 million not $10 million and guess what not even $1 Billion in fact it's more than $35 Billion, seems strange but yes that's the truth. So, here wedding event itself is a big source of income for a whole bunch of people in fact more than a bunch.

From music to tent to food to flower decoration to lighting to clothes to hotels to card distribution....wait let hold my breath once again...With such amount of things involved for a single event it is definitely something that gives occupation to many many people and with so many tasks in line they have to fall in place in order to make it successful. The thing is that marriage is something where both bride & groom's especially the bride's family spend their life time saving for this single event, not because of showing off their wealth  but due to the emotions that is involved with that single event where the parents since the childhood of the girl or boy starts dreaming of this day when their kid really becomes a real man or women.Because of this real emotion, an average healthy fat Indian wedding costs more than $1 Million. But the question arises that how can one spend that much amount on a single day? If you are thinking the same then probably you are thinking in the right direction. Here marriage is not a single day event in fact it's a festival in itself which everyone enjoys a lot (including me :P). It is  a festival where more than 500 people take part in it. In India, marriage is not a single day job but a job that involves months of planning and organizing. It starts of with various functions like ring ceremony and finally comes the day for which everybody was planning from months back. Here on the day of wedding unlike the wedding in Christians and Muslims the wedding happens to be on the next day of the actual wedding date where all the rituals were properly followed and finally the parents of the bride hand over their most precious thing to the groom.

It all ends up happily and the most emotional moment arises where the Bride and her parents are full on tears while their little girl is going to leave them to join a new family and that's when the Bride reaches her new home and everyone blesses the couple for a very happy and successful married life. After that the couple starts living together in a whole new world with a lot of different challenges that they have to face together.

But wait, Here comes the real question.....

When should the newly married couple celebrate their Wedding Anniversary?

While people in India celebrate their wedding anniversary on the day of the wedding which was written on cards.But actually speaking they were not even married on that day and since all the rituals were followed on the next day, marriage anniversary should be the next day of the actual date of wedding.Seems confusing, let me clarify..

Suppose A is getting married with B on 3rd Jan. So, here according to Indian style of wedding, all the Guests will arrive on 3rd jan night and the Groom reaches the place of wedding  mostly after 11 pm and after that on the next day early morning they get engaged officially according to rituals. So, here they got wedded on 4th of jan while the couple still celebrate their wedding anniversary on 3rd.

Big question?

Well I don't have any answer for that. Do you?
