19. “Wedding”



Actual meaning: An intimate ceremony in which two people who love each other formalize their marriage.
Meaning in India: A multiple-day ceremony in which two people who may or may not love each other spend their (and their parents’) life savings to provide food and alcohol to hundreds of people, most of whom they have never seen before, nor will they see again.
