00:00Indian weddings are super complicated.
00:02They are very elaborate affairs.
00:04Let's just take the Bharath, for example.
00:06It's almost like a parade and a party for the groom.
00:09Harsh is coming in on a horse.
00:11And when he comes in, the actual bride's family
00:14will all be waiting at the door to receive him.
00:18There's this long-standing fun ritual
00:21where the bride's side has to steal the groom's shoes.
00:25Mandap is pretty much where the ceremony takes place.
00:27And nobody is allowed to wear shoes on.
00:30So before the groom gets on that mandap,
00:32they have to take his shoes off.
00:40He's just used!
00:41It's nice to be a green guy.
00:43It's fun.
00:43It's a dark guy.
00:45He's got it.
00:56When the groom leaves the mandap after the ceremony is over,
00:58he can't leave.
00:59He needs his shoes, right?
01:00So he has to pay the people off that stole these shoes.
01:04So now the groom has to hand out several hundreds
01:07or even thousands of dollars if he wants his bride,
01:09and if he wants his shoes.
01:11It's a good deal.
01:12It costs 40 bucks.
01:14That's a good deal.
01:15Ready?
01:16I've made a fine deal.
01:19I bet.
01:20I don't know how you have attached to these.
01:22I'm going to start with mine.
01:23That's a fair deal.
01:26That's a fair deal.
01:26No, I'm going to say total.
01:27Stop lying.
01:28They had a deal.
01:29I crushed it.
01:31So there's a lot of negotiation,
01:33a lot of negotiation that happens when these shoes need to be given back.
01:38It's a really fun way to just add some lightheartedness
01:44and to add some banter.
