Reception – Social Obligation

Reception, or rather, public display of your marriage for a set of mostly unknown relatives and acquaintances is a social obligation. It is less desired by couple and more pressurized by parents. We, at AryaSamaj2.0, strongly advise to put it on second priority – either put it off altogether or celebrate is separately.

We are not against the celebrations or festivities in marriage. Haldi, Mehndi, Sangeet, Dance – are all ways to create and spread joy. These events bring families and relatives together ; they create strong bonds. But it is still a very private family affair. It is for close friends and relatives – not for public display.

Reception has nothing to do with marriage. It is a social obligation – a public announcement that your are now married. It is PR exercise here everyone is out to put their status, clothes or ornaments on display. Besides gifts and group attendance with a photographer – only other item on agenda is food.

AryaSamaj2.0 does not organize receptions. We celebrate family functions – not public events.
