Yup.....last week i attented an Indian wedding....Big hall, banana tree roadblocks, and food enough to feed an army of rich fat British woman....I've been told they eat alot... Well... i reached the wedding when it was a halfway through n i still regret it.... Not because i missed watching all the pre marriage customs but my wonderfull uncles n aunties wil never quit reminding me i was late..
An example of a conversation i had.... Im the one Bolded out..

Hi uncle... do you have an envelope... My dad forgot to bring one along to present the money in....Doesnt seem right to just hand the couple the money plain...
Hmm.... Maybe if u came a little earlier i'd still have some... I just gave the last one to your grandfather....And i did that an hour ago..... An hour ago...
Ah... Well its ok uncle... Thanks anyway.. I'll just run across to the shops n buy one.
Oh....sure u will...The shops are all closed now...But maybe if u reached here an hour ago..... It might have still been open.... Then u would have made your purchase without any problems... but since u didnt come here an hour ago....i guess u cant get ur precious envelopes....
Okk...I'll just tell dad that he'll have to give the cash without an envelope... Bye uncle...

And i walked away.... But only a few feet when this happened... My uncle Ram was approached by another one of my uncle which i am not that familiar with... Im not that known among my further relatives... This was their brief conversation... Uncle Ram is bolded

Hey Ram....Do u have an envelope.... I must have left mine at home... You know kids... Always with their last minute rushing...
Oh yes yes....i understand...my little tykes are just the same... But at least we made it in time... Here's (he reaches in his jacket) the envelope u wanted.. Luckily i always carry spares...

I mean....come on man....Even the bride n groom are cool about it.... Whats your problem la.... I continued meeting more of my very punctual uncles n aunties he whole night.... Each with their own ways of passing the message to me... Other then that....the wedding was ok... :)
