"Brilliant Idea": Startup Allows Foreigners To Pay, Attend Indian Weddings
NDTV
JoinMyWedding charges tourists Rs 12,488 per person to witness one day of the nuptials ($US250 or Rs 20,814 for two days).
An Australia-based startup is gaining traction on social media for allowing curious foreign tourists to pay to attend colourful and grand marriage festivities in India. According to CNN, JoinMyWedding was founded by Hungarian-Australian Orsi Parkanyi in 2016 and promises "the ultimate cultural immersion". With a selection of traditional Indian weddings, the company offers special experiences by allowing travellers to attend and locals to share. The company's website mentions that there are more than 300 different types of weddings in India and the country celebrates 11 million weddings a year. I've seen it all. There is now a website where foreigners can get themselves invited to an Indian wedding. https://t.co/OVdsxJp633pic.twitter.com/9hLDSlkQEA
