RE: ADSactly Short Story - The Endless List

in #adsactly6 years ago

Wowow...it seems like the dowry system is in progress....though still very popular in India. But like the list of items...if the groom dont get the entire item as demanded then he might take away the 'barat' means the family friends posession that comes along during wedding ceremony. Here the girls family are the giver and the grooms were the taker but not like this. The list were presented before the marriage ceremonybso that the girls family can arrange them on time.....any how the story was quite interedting tobread and good to see the happy ending...bybthe way in between i lostbthe focus on peterson...the drunk man swayed from the stage to never return.....
By the way @churchboy all the images on the post were original..so you have made them by yourself ? They looks like painting unless there is any digital hand behind it

I guess there isn't much difference between the dowry system in India and here except of course, that the bride's family pays in India. The list is provided before hand to allow the groom's family prepare but, no matter how completely the groom thinks he had met the requirements, the bride's family would still pick holes in the list and demand reparation.

Peterson was not meant to be the center of the story. He was just used as a means of introducing the main theme and to show that most of the people responsible for making customary wedding difficult may not necessarily be related and they may not even know the bride.

The images are original because I took them in an actual customary wedding with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Android phone and I used Art Filter App from Playstore to change them to art work. So, I guess you could say that there is a digital hand behind the pictures. LOL.

Thanks for your comment. You are appreciated.

Hahahaha. I have had an Indian friend named Agnus or Hassini since 2000. You can imagine that we have been there for each other through stuff like relationships and marriage so yeah, I picked up a few things from her.

Yes, that was the idea. Peterson was an interesting character. It is unfortunate that this particular story was not about him. Maybe next time :)
