Recently, Ranbir-Alia's wedding has been in the spotlight of all news channels and social media. What did they wear? Who attended the wedding? How was the function? Etc. etc.
But the one thing that has inspired everyone and reflected the message of true love is that beauty is always in simplicity. They have invited less than 30 guests to their wedding. They could have planned their wedding anywhere in the world with the most opulent amenities but they chose to have a simple and memorable wedding.
We also need to ask the questions - what is really important? Love or show-off?
There have been many wedding functions where people have spent several millions of money but the relationship ended within a year.
Ranbir-Alia have set an example of what is really meaningful in life? It is not a matter of money. It is a matter of mindset. It is a matter of love. And of course, breaking the stereotypes.
Why do things need to be done in a particular manner only? Why do we not allow ourselves to be open to opportunities and better options? Why are we kept on doing things just because everyone is doing them for a long time? Why can we not think out of the box? Why thinking different is not acceptable?
We really need to stop and do a reality with our lives as well. What am I doing with my life? Am I really doing something because it has some meaning or am I doing it because that's how it has been done till now? Or is it really meaningful? Does it provide any meaning to life?
The social pressure
The most common excuse people provide to justify the show-sha is that they have also attended the wedding and other functions at other people's houses. So now it is their turn to return the favour.
What an indigent excuse it is!
Marriage is a personal choice. It is not social responsibility.
We all long for a happy and peaceful life. But do the opposite to bring peace. How confused life people are surviving.
What is valuable?
The love between the two is the most important aspect of a healthy relationship. And it includes - values, vision, and a healthy (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social) lifestyle. Everything else is not worth spending time, energy, or money on.
