Shoe Game

Traveling right from the west. The shoe game has secured a good place in the Indian culture lately and is now the most played game in weddings ever.

It is not necessary to play the shoe game at a wedding ceremony. You can play this game during your engagement party and wedding reception also.

The game is so simple that you might not even need paper and a pen to note down its rules or whatever.

All you need for the game are two chairs. A list of shoe game questions, the couple, and their shoes. And someone like a wicket-keeper who is going to say the questions out loud. It can be anyone starting from a close friend to an MC or a DJ.

Let’s understand how to play?

The bride and groom are to be sitting facing their backs with a shoe of each the bride and the groom in their hands.

For example, if the question is, who said I Love you first? As soon as the question is said by the MC or whoever. If the bride thinks that he did, she’ll pick his shoe up, and if the groom thinks that the bride did, he will pick up her shoe.

It is a fun way of expressing your love for each other along with having fun at the same time. You can add this Indian wedding game on your big day.

Hula Hoop Corner

This is a very easy game, all you’ve got to do is make a corner for the guests and the family members to hula hoop.

Simply put the edges of the hoop on the waist and start spinning.

The player who spins the most can be announced as the winner of the game.

The game can be between the bride and groom as well as their respective families. The family that wins can be given a hamper or something as a token of appreciation from the other side.

Wedding Karaoke

Karaokes are the best. They can be anywhere, be it a wedding night or a family picnic, karaokes will never leave you disheartened.

In Indian wedding ceremonies. The stage is already set, all you have to do is to set up a karaoke player. That consists of the mic and some other equipment and you are good to go.

You can also have a bowl of chits from which the bride and groom can pick out two. The names on them will be called on the stage and asked to sing something to embellish the night. It’s a very interesting Indian wedding game.

Ring Fishing

We all know about ring fishing, we’ve seen it on tv serials, haven’t we?

It is one of the most famous Indian wedding Games. The game is between the bride and the groom.

A ring is going to be put in a container full of milk, the bride and groom have to find the ring with their hands.

The one who finds the ring first is considered to be the dominating one in the marriage.

It is a lovely game since it is simple and does not involve any hard and fast rules. All the elders are going to enjoy this game much more than any other.

Paper Dance

Paper dance is only if your family is broad-minded and open to dancing closely.

Play a song, spread a sheet of paper, and step on it with your significant other.

As soon as the song stops, you have to fold the paper in half and step on again to resume your dance.

You keep dancing until you’re the last one on the floor and that’s how you win the game.

Beer Pong

Let’s not bore the elderly, children can have their way but the elderly need liquor.

Beer pong is the appropriate game for people who are not so participating in the rest of the games.

You can play any game and the one who wins is supposed to drink a cup of beer.

This game is very interactive and can be customized accordingly. you and your family (if drinks) are going to love it. Every Indian wedding should have such games. 

Tic Tac Toe Indian Wedding Games

We all loved tic tac toe as kids, didn’t we? But what if I ask you to incorporate the same in your wedding and live your childhood days all over again.

The game can be played again. The twist will be that this time it won’t be played on paper. The real tic tac toe games are available in the market. Else you can DIY one for yourself from cardboard boxes and paper and you’re good to go!

Couple Trivia

How much do you know your partner? I’m sure you know them well but want the world to know? There is this cute game you can play.

The couple will be given a form full of multiple-choice questions in terms of their partner. And then it will be checked.

The partner who scores the highest wins.

The game is easy, you might just need someone who can frame the questions for you. At a point like this, your sister can be there for the rescue.

Tug of War

Weddings without a tug of war? Not possible.

We all admired “Hum aapke Hain Kaun”, let’s do something from the same.

The bride can team up with her family and the groom can team up with his. This is an amazing way of bringing both the families together through a game. And keeping the contact consistent.

They will end up making a lot of friends during the same, I promise!

Musical Chairs

We all know about musical chairs. Keep the music playing and run around a set of chairs to see who all can secure a chair first.

The ones left out are going to be eliminated from the game.

A very old school yet fancy game to let everyone have a little fun on the boring hectic wedding night.

Kite Flying

Yes, something exactly like Makar Sankranti can be made to take place during your Mehendi or Haldi ceremony.

Almost everyone knows the simple art of kite flying.

There is no dancing around or running around for the same. So the leaders will be able to enjoy it too and you will also get a chance to interact with your in-laws.

Marriage Advice for a Couple

Doesn’t sound like a game but is rather a healthy one.

You will have several old experienced couples at your wedding. Why not use the opportunity and get something out of them?

All you have to do is to give them a pen and paper and make them write the best marriage advice for you and your partner.

Make sure to let them know that they do not have to reveal their names.

Later collect the chits from them and read them out loud in front of everyone.

The evening will turn into a very pleasing one for sure. Now it looks like one of the most interesting Indian Wedding games.

Name the Song

The simplest, the bride and the groom’s family can team up. The MC or the DJ can play the songs.

The team that identifies the song first, wins.

A rejuvenating game from the hectic wedding schedule. It will bring a smile to your parents’ as well as to your face. When you will watch them smiling at their favorite tracks. 

Identify Your Bride

Seen it in Jodha Akbar? Have you?

You, the bride, have to stand covered in your veil amongst a hundred other women covered in theirs.

All your groom has to do is to recognize you amongst them and take you by the hand.

Sounds simple? I hope he doesn’t embarrass you by taking someone else’s hand.

Marriage Wishes for the Couple

Another type of game which is rather a philosophical one.

Give the guests as well as the family members and make them write down their good wishes for you.

Read out the ones you find overwhelmingly beautiful.

After some time you will have a bundle of wishes for you. That y’all can take out and read whenever you get into a fight with one another. And recall why you married each other in the first place.

Spot the Name in the Mehendi

Want to know how much your husband loves you? Get his name “mehendi” on your palm and ask him to spot it.

This way you can torture him later in case he’s unable to spot one (just saying!)

Memory Game

Remember the game Karan Johar made the bride and the groom play in the movie Shaandaar? That’s what this game is all about.

An MC or your bridesmaid can write down some questions and ask both of you at the same time.

The one who answers first wins and you get to know each other better.

Guess the Family Member

Make a family tree of the childhood/young age photos of your family members. And ask your significant other to do the same.

The task is for you both to recognize each other’s family members through their photos.

That’s how you’ll know how well you both know each other’s families.

That Belongs to My Bride

Imagine how sweet it would be if your groom can recognize the items as “This belongs to my bride”?

That’s exactly how it will be. Your dulha has to look at the many things placed in front of him and recognize whether his bride owns it or not.

The more the correct answers, the merrier it is.

Poker

Most common among the Indian Wedding games. Set a poker table aside for all the elderly men and let them have some fun too.

Apart from the booze game. This game can also be the center of attraction to many elderly people. Who did not quite seem to be enjoying your wedding in the beginning.

Photo Booth Contest

Ever been to those places. Where they get you all dressed up like a fancy dress competition and then get you clicked?

What if I were to say you could do that for your wedding also?

No no, no one’s asking you to change clothes, just use some props and get clicked, that’s all.

Imagine how cute it would be to see your parents. Holding different props and getting clicked, right?

Conclusion

How to Register for Arya Samaj Marriage in India

by

Your ticket to a hassle-free marriage. A quick, legal and easy process.

Marriages are supposed to be hassle-free. But they can get overwhelming as soon as the entire world gets involved in it.

Is it important to invite a hundred thousand people to your wedding? Spending lakhs and lakhs on people who are least bothered about your life.

For people of the same thought process, court marriage is an excellent option.

Some people are comfortable with the thought of getting married in front of marriage registrar. But for many others, it is a rather stupid affair, why so? Because court marriages do not involve customs, rituals and most importantly, God.

Of course, it is indispensable for a person to feel like their marriage is something huge, a significant part of their lives.

For some, the process of marriage does not matter much. All that matters is. What the end result is going to be, and the end result is, of course, a happy married life, that’s what these people look for.

But do not worry, we understand the concern of the process-oriented people too. We know how unhappy it is for them to have a marriage. That seems more like a driving license registration rather than a typical cultural marriage.

For all those women out there. Who’ve been wanting to wear a bright red lehenga to their big day. Waiting for their groom to come to take their hand and walk up to the mandap. we have a simple yet powerful solution, i.e. Arya samaj marriage.

Suppose you and your partner are of the same religion or of any of these religions, i.e. Hindu, Jain, Buddhists or Sikh. In that case, you can get married in an Arya samaj mandir with all the proper rituals and customs you want to follow.

For couples in which either of a person is of religion like Muslim, Christain, Jewish or Parsi. Arya samaj will conduct a process of conversion for you, if you please, i.e. shuddhi and can then get you both tied up!

So how to go about the entire process and how to register for Arya Samaj marriage in India?

…Let’s understand.

What is Arya Samaj Mandir and How does it work?

Arya Samaj Mandir was founded by Dayanand Saraswati in 1985. Since then, it has been working to promote the monotheistic Hindu Vedic values. By making marriages a little more cultural and encouraging the young generation to consider the same.

Contrary to the general belief. Arya Samaj does not promote conversion to Hinduism and is not responsible for the same. Since the choice of undergoing the process of shuddhikaran is solely in the hands of the couple.

The most common questions that people frequently ask about Arya Samaj when considering it as an option are :

  • Is Arya Samaj marriage legal?
  • Do they provide a certificate and if yes, is it legal?
  • How to marry in an Arya Samaj temple?
  • Can I get an Arya Samaj marriage registered in the general court?

Let’s take up these questions at once, and I’m sure that by the end of this article. You have the complete knowledge of the process.

Arya Samaj certificate validity

Arya Samaj, unlike any other random temple, has been conducting marriages for over 150 years now. Quite a long time to be illegal right?

The ceremony of an Arya Samaj marriage takes place as per Vedic rituals. It is valid under the Arya Samaj Marriage Validation Act, 1937. With provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and hence, recognised by law.

Perks of getting married at an Arya Samaj Temple?

So what are the perks of getting married in an Arya Samaj temple? Why should I opt for a temple and not a straightforward court marriage?

If you also think that court marriages are easy only because of the influence of Indian cinema. Sorry but we have to break the myth.

Court marriages are far from easy. For a court marriage, a couple has to apply to a marriage registrar days before the wedding. Once approved, you have to submit the relevant documents that are around 6-7.

The court will take 30 days to solemnize a marriage. After they do so. They will release a notice of the intended marriage to the respective families. So for those love-birds who wanted to keep the marriage hidden and have a happily ever after, it is a NO-NO!

Now what is Arya samaj marriage? And how is it comparatively more straightforward?

Unlike the other court marriages. That requires you to apply 30 days before the intended day of the wedding. Arya samaj will take only 1-2 hours to get you registered. And complete the formalities like filling the form and fee payment.

Arya Samaj does not only have social responsibilities. But also has some legal duties for which it gives a maximum waiting period of 48 hours. After which they are ready to get you married.

Marriages at Arya samaj are done on a first come first serve basis. Depending on the availability of the priest.

Eligibility for Arya samaj marriage

  • The husband-to-be must be 21 years of age or above. And the lady of the hour should be 18 years of age or above at the time of the enrollment.
  • Arya Samaj has no prejudice towards inter-religion or inter-caste marriages. Though if either of the partners is a Muslim, Christian, Jew or Parsi. They have to go through a conversion process called Shuddhikaran. And can be then married accordingly.

Documents required for an Arya Samaj marriage

Only some primary documents are required for an Arya Samaj marriage, ones that almost all Indians have.

  • Four coloured photographs of both bride and groom
  • Date of birth certificate and residence proof of both
  • Death certificate or divorce decrees, whichever is applicable. In cases of death of a previous partner, or the marriage is of someone who is previously divorced.
  • At the point when one of the pair is an unfamiliar resident or holding a foreign identification or a foreign private location. A Certificate of the present conjugal status of the gathering/No.  Impediment Certificate/NOC from the concerned Embassy and a legitimate visa.

Within 10 days of marriage when the marriage is entirely registered with the Arya Samaj. It will provide you with a marriage certificate. That you can then produce at the courthouse and obtain a legal marriage certificate from the same.

If there is any kind of legal support that the couple might require.  The society provides you with it through its volunteers. That helps you in each step of the way, be it paperwork or rituals.

The only disadvantage of getting married at an Arya Samaj temple. Is that the marriage certificate generated by them is legal only in the jurisdiction of India and not abroad.

To get a visa, you have to get a marriage certificate generated by a legal marriage registrar.

But nevertheless, once you receive the certificate from the society. Apply for a legal certificate from the magistrate, and you will receive that in around a month.

Conclusion

Getting married at an Arya Samaj temple is a super-easy way. To start your life with someone you’re so madly in love with.

For people who like family functions and paraphernalia. A standard wedding is a must for the people. Who are somewhat reserved and uncomfortable getting married in front of a hundred thousand people. A simple wedding at your nearest Arya samaj temple is the way out.

There is no point in compromising on the one day. That you have been waiting for since your whole life, by getting married in a courthouse.

Instead, let the event stay an event that is rather a lowkey one. Exactly how you’d wanted it to be and wear that favourite lehenga at your wedding.

Do it for the lehenga literally.

I hope now you know how to register for Arya samaj marriage in India.
