Due to the fast pace of life and urbanization, families are becoming smaller - the joint family system has given way to nuclear families. Therefore when we have events like marriages etc in the family we are at a loss as to what/when & how to do.
The same questions arose when my daughter's marriage was finalized. After completing the marriage rituals, I made notes, as my son was yet to be married. These came in handy when his marriage was finalized.
I have shared these notes with friends and relatives who found them very useful.
Since my friends and relatives, with whom I had shared the notes found them useful I decided to expand them and make a small guide which could help others.
