Myths about matrimony

With time, and the lack of it in our everyday lives, more and more people looking for a life partner are beginning to use the internet, more specifically, matrimony sites to find their ideal partner. Matrimonial sites have been highly popular amongst both young marriageable adults and middle-aged eligible population.

However, there has always been a few common and stubborn myths around matrimony sites.

In India, several successful and reputed matrimony websites have been increasingly serving eligible brides and grooms, and an ever-increasing number of people create accounts and connect to potential partners through such bonafide and secure sites. However, some say it’s too complicated and time consuming a procedure, yet some others say it’s embarrassing, while some others claim that such spaces on the internet aren’t safe and teaming with creepy anonymous fake users.

We feel it’s high time to clear up the air and debunk these misconceptions and popular myths about online matrimonial websites.

Hence, here are the top 5 myths related to the online matrimony sites that one often hears from friends and family –

Myth 1: Online Matrimony Sites Are a total waste of time

Though some people prefer to arduously believe that joining a matrimonial site for e-arrange marriage is an utter waste of time, effort and money, yet the truth is in today’s fast-paced world e-arranged matrimonial meets are less time consuming compared to elaborate, formal, in person, offline arrangements. More and more Indian youth are joining matrimonial sites merely to reduce the endless hassle of a traditional matchmaking process. They can meet several profile holders within a much shorter period, have detailed interactions with the prospective person within the convenient meeting space online and take the process to offline only if the preliminary results are satisfying. This turns the entire process significantly less time consuming and effortless.

Myth 2. No one in real life ever found their spouse online

Well, maybe you don’t know them. Perhaps your circle is small. But trust us, there are umpteen couples, not just globally, but even in India who found and married their life partner online.

Those who believe these matrimonial sites are only for young, immature enthusiasts (or even players) joining the sites simply for fun and light flings with others online but not focused on finding a life partner might be in for a surprise. While it’s true only with regards to a small portion of individuals joining these sites, who might be not serious in their approach, yet in India, the number of serious seekers who not only find but even finally tie the knot with their prospective online groom or bride is increasing by the year. The success stories of online matrimonial services can be easily verified through the sites’ analytics and testimonials.

It must also be reckoned with that one has multiple times more chances of finding a suitable match online as compared to offline as here there is always a way the larger community of eligible brides and grooms. The wide range of prospective connections available on any reputed matrimonial site is vast and not limited to one’s geographic region, class, caste, ethnicity or set social circles. That’s more so why Indian youth today are increasingly finding success in finding their Ideal life partner even if on long distance relationship made possible only by the matrimonial sites.

Myth 3: Such a profile is embarrassing for one if Real Life peers and friends found out their profile

Firstly, with an increasing number of Indian youth registering for online matrimony services, the idea of embarrassment in being a part of such a growing community is an old, outdated concern to be honest. But even if some still felt nagging issues about being found out by family, friends or social circles, the good news is most reputed sites allow varied security options whereby one can easily choose to hide their profile from unregistered people and people outside the site. In the days of social site boom, thanks to Facebook, tinder, snapchat, and instagram, more people are growing comfortable being seen online by a larger community. This too has been breaking down this shyness about matrimonial site membership.

Myth 4. Matrimonial websites are filled with fake creep accounts

Again, this assumption is pretty outdated. This would have been the scenario about a decade back when matrimonial services were only beginning to make their appearance. At that phase, many frivolous people with insincere and less than transparent agendas did sign in to create fake anonymous profiles to “just have some fun.” But a decade later, with technological advancements and increased social site security norms in place, most new age matrimonial sites today have very stringent verification processes, robust vigilance teams, and strict rules for members and it makes it pretty tough for random fake profiles to lurk around unchecked. Such counterfeit profiles are weeded out from most reputed sites through dedicated and regular quality control measures. Today your chances of encountering random, creepy fake profiles on any of the reputed nationally recognized matrimonial sites are remote.

Myth 5: Online matrimonial sites are for older people only

Often the other misnomer is that younger people aren’t interested in online matrimony sites and such services are preferred mostly by more former clients who have failed in finding a good match due to Age and other factors, through the traditional offline method working via the family priest or social network in the real world. However, a quick survey of these sites will reveal that online matrimonial services work best for the younger population who being at their most eligible, marriageable age, receive interests and responses from prospective profiles faster and on more significant numbers.

It is merely a prejudice to assume that e-arrange marriage is only for the so-called lesser eligible population, or just for the older people, divorced or widowers. Many young suitable grooms and brides regularly find their life partner at the Prime of their youth through online matrimonial sites.

In conclusion, myths can be many. Only when you check the online matrimony sites out can you be sure of the baselessness of these myths. So if you’re looking for a prospective bride or groom, then do choose to register with a reputed matrimony site and experience the process first hand.

Do you visualize a dream or a nightmare at your wedding?

As the D-day comes closer what do you visualize- a dream or a nightmare. Most of the time the time just flies in making the arrangements that you just go with the flow without anything sinking in.

But as the day draws closer, your dream of a perfect wedding can turn it into a nightmare if things are not planned and organized well. Matrimonial sites can help you find your perfect one but organizing the wedding would need special expertize. Either you opt to arrange everything on your own, which can be satisfying yet chaotic & hectic. Or else you can opt for the services of an event organizing agencies. It works in the favor of the Indian bride and Indian groom to leave the planning to their professional hands.

If the Indian bride and Indian groom want to plan their matrimony on their own then as soon as the date for the matrimony is finalized, both families should work in tandem to turn it into a memorable event. It can turn into a clash of egos and bickering if both families don’t agree on a plan and put it on paper. Sticking to a plan works best when planning a major event like a wedding. Make a monthly check-list for easy execution.

As Indian customs differ from one home to another, it is always better to discuss things up-front than making an issue of it later.

Always start with a Common List-

During a wedding there will be a lot of common functions that will be held together. Make a list of decorations, invitations, venue, and functions. Plan to the last detail and make sure that both families have identical copies, better yet make it typed copies as per each function.

Prepare a guest list-

Most problems originate where there are more people involved. Make a list of all people and then segregate them according to the functions for which they will be invited. Pass on the list to both families, because the groom’s family needs to know who to invite and the same goes for the brides’. You don’t want to ruffle any feathers by leaving out anyone important.

Customs followed-

Every family has their traditions and customs. And it is always better for both families to discuss them to the last detail so that there is no confusion at the last minute. By doing this, you also ensure that the relatives attending the wedding don’t get a chance to point fingers.

Plan a Budget-

Estimate your costs and decide which family is organizing which function. Money is a culprit for creating the maximum confusion and trouble. Being clear on this issue keeps away bad feelings among the families.

Gifts List-

Indian weddings are all about gifts, and it is not limited to the bride and groom. It is given to all the closest relatives of both families. A finalized list should be exchanged between both the families, and the value of the gifts should be based on the relationship with the groom or bride.

Pick a venue-

Another thing which both the families should agree upon is the venue. Sometimes with outstation weddings, it becomes more difficult to decide on the location. It’s usually more manageable for the family who has a lesser number of the guest list to travel.
Weddings are high-energy and chaotic occasions, but a little planning is all that is needed to make it memorable. For both the families, it is a new beginning, and it should not start on a sour note. Bad feelings which develop during weddings are carried throughout the life and sometimes ruins relationships beyond repair.

Role of Family Support behind a Happy Married Life

family

The rudimentary concept of the society is that it is in a state of interdependence. While growing up, we learn the values and acclimatize ourselves according to the same society we live in. In our lives, we come across a web of diverse relationships from our immediate family in particular and to society in general.

These relationships shape our lives. But as the general notion goes, the basic fundamental relationship that makes our society is of marriage. Good marriages are the nitty-gritty of strong societies.  Marriages are bolstered together not only by two partners but by a chain of relationships that surrounds them.

What else goes into a happy marriage besides the bride and groom?

Many argue that it is just two partners who ultimately make a marriage work out. This is obviously a gospel truth, but we live in a social setup wherein additional support counts and makes a huge difference. None of us can live in solitary on a long lost island with our partner and never grow tired or irritated at some point in time.

There is always something special about an  Indian groom and Indian bride as they are always regarded as not just two individuals, but a part of a larger family.

Our current social setup is a hierarchy, and our family is the crown. When a relationship like marriage is thought upon, the families of the bride and groom provide the ultimate support. Families are the ubiquitous web of relationships which boosts the growth and development of every member throughout the life cycle, from birth to the old age.

The culture we live in considers matrimony as a family affair. Marriages are validated, witnessed and supported by our families in most of the cases. We undertake a lifelong commitment to supporting loving and caring for a partner we choose. Our families act may act as strengthening glue and minimize the friction. Relationships become much more amicable and gratifying when you have the additional support to make them work.

Nothing Can Take the Place of Family Support

A strong and supportive family protects and strengthens a couple’s matrimony by making it facile for the partners to endure marital stress. In many cases, families help couples to see the best in each other. Families keep on reminding a couple about how good both are together, or how good the chemistry is. Now as applicable to every other relationship, boring is lethal in marriage too.

If the family is friendly and supportive, they might encourage the couple to live life fully together. This encouragement is most important when a couple is trying to adjust as newlyweds. It is stressful when two partners are entirely dependent on each other. Here is when family support comes in. Family in such cases provide additional support so that the partners in a marriage are not solely reliant on one another.

If you think about it, the stare of a matrimonial resides in a gravitational field. The two partners are of course in a union which is strengthened by convivial charges instilled in them, but they are also strengthened and held together by all the other forces moving around in the same gravitational field.

Marriage can survive between two individuals against many odds, but it’s a confidence booster when you can count on additional support to tackle those odds!

Plan a Ravishing Sangeet Ceremony

sangeet

The Sangeet ceremony is the most awaited moment of any matrimony. Earlier sangeet used to be a ‘women’s function,’ and men were not allowed to attend it. Even the songs used to be traditional folk songs and were hummed by the womenfolk. But with the impact of Bollywood on Indian weddings, the sangeet ceremony has become a more elaborate event than the wedding itself.

Today every Indian wedding is preceded by a Sangeet night, irrespective of the religion of the Indian bride and Indian groom. Some matrimonial sites also offer event managements for such occasions.

So how to plan the sangeet of the year?

The date for the Sangeet is usually decided upon before the wedding invitations are printed, so that is one thing that you can take off your list of to-do things.

Pick the perfect venue- Most people prefer to keep the sangeet venue same as the wedding, but it usually helps to have these two functions at different places. The reason being there is less confusion with decorations and many other minute details. It is usually preferable to hold a sangeet ceremony at a venue which is convenient for both families. There should be ample place for people to dance and enough place for others to sit and enjoy as well. Your choice of venue should also depend on the number of the invitees to the ceremony.

Plan a Budget- The Sangeet itself works out as expensive as the wedding itself. It all depends on you how elaborate you want to make it. You can also plan for simple and elegant decorations as the guests are more interested in good food and catchy music.

Choreographed or not- Most couples like to get their sangeet ceremony choreographed by a professional, for that expert touch. It brings elegance and grace to the entire ceremony.

Choose the Music- You are spoiled for choice. You can always start will some old favorites of the elders and make them start the sangeet ceremony. Allow things to slowly warm up by bringing the parents of both the bride and the groom. Choose your songs well and line your favorites to be played in a specific sequence. Make someone in-charge of the music so that there is never a silent moment. Start it with old melodies for the elders, but don’t forget the little ones in the family. Line up songs to fit the taste of every guest present at the ceremony.

Play the latest and catchy songs as the night matures, but don’t forget to take to the floor with your would-be partner with your special song. Divide the time between both families, so no one feels left out.

Keep it Short- Don’t allow the Sangeet ceremony to drag for hours together. Remember that the main event is the wedding. Keep it limited to a 2-3 hour, so you and your guests are well rested for the wedding.

Group Dance- Try to end the ceremony on a high note by requesting all the guests present to shake a leg. Pick a happy song, or the latest favorite and play it as the last song of the night.

Make it a night to remember for you and your guests.
