Marriages are made in heaven. It has been said that two people marry not only themselves but two families get married to each other. A marriage is perhaps the most important social occasion for any family as for the individual. Indian weddings are carried on with great pomp and grandeur.
Can you dream of an Indian wedding without bollywood wedding songs, Music and entertainment? Why are songs so important during weddings? This is because Music is considered one of the ingredients for celebration. In fact, without Music it would just be a dull affair like any other. In fact, the Filmi wedding songs are the most popular in India.
I can guarantee
that our rich hindi Music industry has songs for nearly all the situations. In fact, there are so many songs, that brides and grooms go crazy selecting what should be played, and in what order on their wedding day. But then, when preparing for a wedding, one can draw up a list of all the wedding songs and classify them in accordance so that each one can sing or perform to a dedicated song. My classifications could include:
