“Most of them do not know what it means and just follow what is organised by their parents,” said GV Exhibition Sdn Bhd representative MS Mathy.
Hence, this year the organisers would be holding a mock wedding session on the last day of the expo where a priest would be on hand to translate the meaning of each prayer and ritual.
According to Mathy, Indian wedding packages and services are highly in demand not only within the Indian community but also among other races.
More than 50,000 visitors are expected to attend the four-day event at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre.
There will be about 80 booths featuring wedding gifts, cards, beauticians, flowers, dais, entertainers, caterers, photographers, astrologers, and matchmakers.
Among the highlights of the event is a seminar on ‘Sex Communication in a Conservative Society’ which will be presented by Yayasan Strategic Social (YSS) and the ’50th Merdeka Celebrations – 50 Golden Years of Marriage’ program that will feature 10 couples celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary this year.
