This is one of the best threads on JL so far I think. For one, we all (men and women both ) can relate to the subject matter. Secondly, there is so much personal touch in the posts that it makes it a pleasure to read.
Thank you Kumar Sir for starting this wonderful thread!

Till about 1970, wedding ceremony in villages used to last two days. All functions used to take place on first day. On second day the boy and the entire "Barat" used to go around the entire village along with "Bajja-Gajja". Brataies used to visit the girls/ Bahoos in village who belonged to boy's village. Baraties used to give money to the girl of their village and used to be treated with Milk/ Sharbat. This way almost entire village used to get the glimpse of "Banna/ Nasso". We kids used to follow the Barat and bajja all through the village. Elderly ladies of the village used to give hard time to Baraties by calling all sorts of names.
My father got married around 1949/50. This was the time when refugees from Pakistan were still new in the area. Few Punjabi boys became good friends of my father and thereby got invitation in his "Barat" These boys carried Bhangra dresses and dhol with them. No body in the area knew of Bhangda in those days. Bhangda dance in my father's wedding became such a sensation that people remembered it for a long time. Imagine what must have happened when my father and the entire Barat went around the village next day with live "Bhangda". Imagine the scene in the streets and roof tops full of ladies and young girls.
There were weddings in which Famous "Sangies" like Lakhmi, Dhanpat and Bulli etc used to perform. People not only from the village but from all nearby and even distant villages used to flock to watch the performance. Ever heard of " Shadi ke parosse" ?

Ladies used to make fun of Baraties on anything; looks, gait, ...really anything under the sun. remember on joke posted on Jatland long back'
" Barat me eik chauta ka bachcha bahut hi kala thaa. Bidayee ke time gaun ki eik aurta bolli ki uss bachche ne gaon me hi chor jao. Barati ne poocha ki kyoon? Aurat bolli ki unki bhains ka katdoo mar gyaa, Bachche ko bhains ke aage khada kar ke doodh nikal liya karegi...."
