Desi Weddings, Then and Now: It's All About Connection

ROOH (Rising Over Obstacles and Healing) by Jyoti and Monica

Episode notes

Desi weddings have evolved so much over the years. This week, Monica and I take a trip down memory lane to talk about the simplicity of weddings back in the day and what truly mattered then versus now.

Despite all the changes and the pressure for extravagance, we discuss why it’s so important to not lose sight of what actually counts: connection, honoring your vows, and the union of two people. We also share a few personal stories from our own big days—including one moment for me where things didn't go exactly as planned, but I chose to pivot anyway. There are plenty of laughs along the way, all with the message that you need to value your happiness and peace of mind above all else. Reclaim your day.
