    These ticketed events, organised by hotels, clubs and companies, are designed purely for fun and promise to offer the full experience of a wedding party without any stress, rituals or responsibilities. Simply put, it's a wedding-themed party night.

    Over the past few weeks, fake weddings have been making a splash in big cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. The attendees are usually young people looking to enjoy a night out with friends, indulging in the drama and fun of a traditional Indian wedding without the attendant pressures.

      My wife wore her dress on a few occasions to parties, the biggest one being Burning Man. She got rid of it after that and kind of regrets it, because she thinks it would be fun to still wear once in awhile to wedding events.

      Though both of us are no longer 27 anymore and I know for sure my wedding outfit no longer fits!
