immediately made me question my choice of a delicate floral sundress and strappy sandals, which I previously had assumed would be more than appropriate for an outdoor wedding in June.

I noticed the process of the parents looking for the significant other, they were to examine the religion, caste, wealth, horoscope and beauty. After the parents approved of the…
