The groom's family usually hosts a wedding reception though the expenses
can be shared with the bride's family also. Since it is an expensive
affair, it involves elaborate planning and arrangement. The decorations
are detailed and elegant with balloons, streamers and candle stands
dominating the scene. People usually meet up for a light dinner or lunch
in a reception. Immediate family and close friends often toast for the
well being of the bride and the groom. The bride's father usually gives
a speech and blesses the new couple.
Often, the lunch or dinner is accompanied by light music by a live band
or a DJ. Everyone including the bride and the groom dance and it is
basically a fun occasion. This dance is usually known as "Bridal
Waltz". The dance styles vary from a ballroom waltz to tango to any
free style form of dance. The celebration takes place amongst much
jubilation and enjoyment. In the end, the bride and the groom leave in a
beautifully decorated car, bidding adieu to one and all and start
together their new life.
