Top n reasons why Indian weddings are awesome

(where n = the number of reasons I can think of in the next k min (where k = 3))

1. Foooood: Breakfast, lunch and dinner served. Fantastic, even the stuff that I couldn't identify. The groom was a meat-eater so we had nine dishes of meat, including a turducken made by a friend!
2. Dancing: Indians love to dance. Love love love. There were about 250 people at the reception, and 240 of them were dancing. Younger, older, doesn't matter. And it's very inclusive and communal. You don't really dance with one person but with everyone.
3. Colour: I've never been to a more colourful wedding. The gowns at the ceremony and the saris at the reception were absolutely beautiful. Great for photos.
4. Formality and informality: At the beginning of the ceremony, the two sides of the family exchanged some ceremonial items. Uncles passed to uncles, aunts to aunts, etc. Within these formalities they did some really fun things, like trying to lift each other up for photos. It was funny when it didn't work.
5. Inclusiveness: Everyone was very inviting, courteous, answered questions, and provided thoughtful explanations.
