Attend a wedding in rural Bangladesh. Like a pure traditional Bangladeshi wedding devoid of any Indian/Bollywood customs.
I am talking about a tin-shed house with little red banners decorating the front. In the corner of the uthan, cooking is going on in lakri and you can smell the delicious food. Stray dogs are everywhere and trying to get any bones or leftover unused meat. Little children are dressed up in colorful clothes and signs are cut in style or cursive Bangla. On the side, pandel is set up for the guests. It's hard to explain the atmosphere but I have attended few and its truly an unique experience. Its very different from the Dhaka community center weddings.
