SRINAGAR, Nov 11 (Agencies): In a move aimed at discouraging late-night wedding ceremonies, the All Kashmir Waza Association has announced that it will not serve Wazwan at weddings where the groom arrives after 10 pm.
Association President Ghulam Nabi Baba said the decision was taken to address the growing practice of delayed groom arrivals, with some weddings witnessing grooms reaching venues as late as 3 am or 4 am.
He said the practice creates difficulties for Wazas (traditional Kashmiri chefs) and several other people involved in wedding arrangements, who are often forced to wait for hours to serve the traditional feast.
Baba said it was high time society put an end to this growing social practice and urged people to ensure timely arrival of grooms so that wedding functions do not cause unnecessary hardship to those involved in the arrangements.
