2. MARRIAGE MEANS A LOT…….
• A wedding is considered the most important
event of a Bangladeshi girl's as well as male’s
life and an integral part of the local culture.

3. • Bangladesh wedding is a huge arrangement. It
is all about color, food and family gatherings.
Not many years ago people used to invite the
whole town to celebrate the wedding for seven
days. Now-a-days it has changed. Now wedding
is a four days ceremony…

4. • (The) first day of the ceremony is called the
bride’s Gaye Holud. In our culture we believe
that turmeric paste makes the skin soft and
make bride more beautiful for the wedding day.
This is the main reason this day is called Gaye
Holud which means “apply body turmeric paste
to the skin.” This day everyone wears yellow
cloths.

5. • Day 2 – is called the Gaya Holud for the groom.
This is the same thing for groom’s side.

6. • Day 3- is the final wedding day. The wedding
ceremony is arranged by the bride’s family. The
bride and groom are seated separately.
• Everyone wear very colorful clothes. Bride
wear red outfit with heavy gold ornaments.
Once the ceremony is completed then the
groom takes the bride to his home.

7. • Day- 4 is the last day – we calle it Bouvat. This is
kind of a reception party arranged by the
groom’s family.

8. • But these celebrations cost a lot of money and
usually become a burden for the family

9. • In today’s high priced market of Bangladesh, a
wedding is not just finding your daughter or
son their life partner, it is also a contest where
the two parties tries to spend more than the
other trying to portray a wedding scene from
one of the popular serials or a Bollywood
movie.

10. • This new practice takes its toll over the middle
class people of the country who want to
provide their offspring a memorable wedding
yet struggle with the expenses of it.

11. ALL THESE FACTS BROUGHT US TO
THE HYPOTHESIS THAT ……

expectations, intrusion of different culture in our
own culture, and dominance of social media have
accelerate the need to make individual’s wedding
a memorable one regardless of cost.
