My brother recently got married in New York in an elegant yet opulent but traditional Zoroastrian wedding ceremony. Believe it or not, the bride was Parsi too. The term ‘Big Fat Parsi Wedding’ does not refer to the ornate and stylish décor of the venue, the fashionable guests who flew in from different parts of the world, nor the customized seating arrangements and sumptuous and exotic food offered. It refers, simply, to the size of the bride and the groom…and the volume of their love for one another, and the magnitude of their appreciation for those who came to share in their joy and celebrate the beginning of their married life together.
