I remember when I was a small kid when I went to my maternal uncle’s wedding; it was all fun and so much dancing.  His friends were dancing all time during marriage ceremonies. I was around 12 years old at that time and I remember how all marriage ceremonies were being performed by my maternal uncle. All family and friends were there and it was a bit crowdy too and during Haldi ceremony next day, all were applying Haldi on my maternal uncle’s face, and on legs and hands. I also applied but it was a bit boring. The ceremonies were totally traditional and customary. 

But now the time has changed and nowadays weddings are all about fun and thrill, and it is about more wedding activities because if the more activities are there, wedding will be more fun. When wedding, everyone waits for Haldi ceremony.
