I write like six/eight months ago how I was excited obsessed about this wedding of a friend in Kathmandu, and have since written about how everything's connected.
Turns out half my family was invited to that wedding, from both guys and the bride's sides, half the Kathmandu was aware of it, and it did go on for like ten events, all outrageously ridonkulously lavish. 50 lakh ko luga for the girl and 30 lakh ko luga for the guy lavish. And I missed it.
Which was a bit of a bummer at the time but in retrospect it's fine, whatever. Since my family was going to be there for pretty much everything, I'd not have been hanging out with the folks from Northeast (all gals) anyway because it'd be too weird. Plus, ten lavish ceremonies sounds fantastic until you realize you only know like ten people there, and you see them over and over again in all the occasions and after the third event, it all blends in, gets a bit boring. You do have to get a new pair of nice cloth for each event, so you're getting ten expensive sets of cloth for ten repetitions of the same outrageously amazing event.
Which is a bit much for me.
In retrospect it wasn't as much of a bummer that I missed than I originally imagined.
