New Trends in Indian Weddings
Some young couples in India are doing things differently with their weddings.
Instead of having big, expensive parties, they are adopting children, helping people in need, and making sure their weddings don't create waste.
For example, one couple in Kanpur adopted 11 orphans and promised to pay for their education.
Another couple in Idukki gave all their wedding gifts to people affected by landslides.
These couples are showing that they care about more than just having a fancy wedding.
They want to make a positive difference in the world.
This is a new trend that is becoming more popular among young people in India.
New-age couples in India are adopting orphans and funding their education as part of their weddings.
A couple in Idukki donated all their wedding gifts to aid victims of the Wayanad landslides.
There is a rise in zero-waste wedding ceremonies among young couples.
These actions contrast with the popular perception of the younger generation being self-absorbed.
The trend reflects a shift towards more meaningful and socially responsible celebrations.
