I recently got a chance to attend the wedding of one of my friends who is Agarwal, and she was getting married to a Punjabi guy. At the wedding, we experienced a unique mix of Agarwal matrimony and Punjabi matrimony. The rituals reflected the mix of the culture of both Punjabi and Baniya, and instead there were no confusion about what rituals should be conducted first. Everything went very smooth and it was great to see that both the families were respecting each other as well as their culture.
The bride’s family belonged to Chandni Chowk and as we know that the place is known for the age old delicacies, we experienced a lovely vegetarian delight. Though the groom’s family was a non vegetarian one, but they respected the traditions of the bride’s family and do not made any fuss over the food. There was everything ranging from starters to desserts. The starters include Paneer tikka, baked vegetables, hara kabab, different types of chats and many more. We also loved the variety of beverages, including masala lemon, soda, khas sherbet, variety of mocktails and other drinks. There was also different stall for alcohol, which was definitely flooded with people. Also there were a lot of people, including many of my friends who were there in that crowd. Many of them were busy to prepare the best cocktails for themselves.
The food was also mouthwatering and definitely very rich for which Agarwal Matrimonial is famous. The paneer recipes were awesome, and also there were stalls of the Rajasthani food, which savored our taste buds. Experiencing the authentic Rajasthani flavor was definitely the best. The Punjabi food counters also experienced so many foodies, including me, as I am a big fan of Punjabi dishes. Overall the experience of the weeding was awesome and I would definitely love to attend such intercommunity wedding, yes, for the sake of a variety of food!
