TREND SPOTTING AND FUTURE FORECASTING OF 2ND INNINGS

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. 

• 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…

• (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.

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

• 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.

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

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

• 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.

• 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.

ALL THESE FACTS BROUGHT US TO THE HYPOTHESIS THAT ……

• Improving standard of livings, change in social 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.
