Srinagar: In an effort to discourage late-night wedding ceremonies, the All Kashmir Waza Association has announced that it will not serve Wazwan at weddings where the groom arrives after 10 pm.
Association President Ghulam Nabi Baba said the decision was taken in response to the growing trend of delayed groom arrivals, with some grooms reportedly reaching wedding venues as late as 3 am or 4 am.
He said such delays cause considerable inconvenience to Wazas (traditional Kashmiri chefs) and others engaged in wedding arrangements, who are often compelled to wait for several hours before serving the traditional feast.
Baba said the practice needs to end and appealed to the public to ensure that grooms arrive on time, stressing the need to respect the time and efforts of everyone involved in wedding functions.
