India is known for its big fat weddings which lasts from few days to weeks.Music,dance,decorations,lavish food and expensive costumes have become an integral part of weddings.In short wedding expenses depict the prosperity of a family.Even though this trend exists,there is a minority group who prefer register marriages and consider wedding celebrations as a waste of money.A couple from Puduchery has set wedding goals by conducting their wedding in an eco friendly manner.Their wedding was in harmony with the traditions,culture as well as nature.They decided to go green and make their wedding the most memorable day in their lives as well as for those who arrived for their wedding.
The first step was to redefine the wedding cuisine.They introduced healthy,simple and delicious meals and completely avoided the use of maida,white rice,sugar and refined salt.Instead,they made use of natural and organic items.Instead of plastic ,paper plates and glasses,food was served in leaves and stainless steel tumbler.They ensured that minimal paper was used for the wedding invitation by introducing e-invites.The couple desired to make their wedding a platform for environmental awareness and learning.For this they introduced every farmer,craftsperson and NGO workers who provided them with organic food,clothing,decor and other items for the wedding.They even added in their wedding invitation to avoid gifts and requested the guests to donate to ForestFirstSamithi.org for planting trees in the Western Ghats.These couple are true inspiration for the future generation.
