The World Wide Wedding

The wedding that seems to have no ending will actually come to a stop. Our skyrocketing collective shock and awe pre-event after pre-event will be put to its final test. Like the rest of the world, Ambanis will move on. Hopefully!

Soon after we will look back and realize that for a brief moment in time we were all in it and learning great lessons.

Thinking Out of the Wedding Box

Indian weddings are known to be elaborate. But we have learned what it means to be unapologetically elaborate from the Ambanis. What constitutes elaborate is now up for discussion. When one loses count of the number of events, there arises the need for thinking creatively and infusing newness. Bring in a Rihanna or throw in a Bieber, or even better, take everyone to a different country and have a private concert with more famous singers. The Ambanis sure know how to impress their celebrity and wannabe-celebrity crowd.

Staying Humble

When people are doing anything to get their 15 minutes of fame on social media, it's good to be like the Ambanis. They are not recreating looks, imitating others (excuse that bride-to-be’s speech copied verbatim), or dancing on any and every trending song. Instead they are serving umpteen diamonds, emeralds and gold jewelry, dazzling our screens and numbing our senses. They chose to be like the proverbial emperor, but with many exquisite clothes. Having people around who elevate you unconditionally seems like the way to enjoy health, wealth and happiness. Money or huge rocks sure help! 

Celebrities are Human, too

If there is anything else going on in the world, you really do not have to care. Living in a lavish bubble has many perks. All the talented and not-so-talented attendees at these events seem starry-eyed at the Ambani show. Humbled by the reach and richness of the Ambanis, all the who’s who of the world are seen eating a humble pie. Those of us who are not at the wedding that is the talk of the world can find solace in attempts of the poor attendees keeping up with the Ambanis. We are better off rating all the looks just like they do at the Oscars, although that is less ceremonious.

Redefining India

To all those who still think of India as nothing but the land of elephants and snake charmers, the Ambanis have been showcasing its glorious side. Bringing demigod-like cricketers and actors along with business people and politicians under one huge roof event after event, they have made reputed publications across the globe take note and dedicate several pages to the wedding. What if India was quick to discard monarchy, there are Indians who can command similar charm. At this point, no one would bat an eyelid if the Ambanis appear at the actual wedding wearing tiaras and crowns. They have earned it and absolutely do not need our vote!
