Editor’s note Dear Readers, The first chill winds of winter usher in the madness and the glamour that is the wedding season. Whether you’re tying the knot this year, hosting a do, or putting on the ritz as a guest, we can all be agreed on the fact that weddings in Dhaka are a big deal. This week, we bring you, not just the requisite food, beauty and fashion tips surrounding the wedding industry, but a few other sides to the biyebari shindig. Not all of them are pretty. Like our story about child marriage, and the continued struggle for some girls to beat the tide.
There are some stories that are less grim, and more thought-provoking. Like our discussion on big weddings vs intimate affairs. Or our breakdown of who pays for what. And of course, there’s our guide to crashing weddings. But if you’re gasping for some glamour, we have a little of that as well. Aarong brings us a handy guide of what to wear as a wedding guest. And don’t miss our battle of the biriyani. Here’s wishing you a fabulous season of borhani, biriyani and bling -Sabrina Fatma Ahmad
