Don't Take My Sister! (Ok you can... But you got to pay up!)

Anyone that has been to an Indian Wedding will tell you that it is an occasion of colour, celebration and emotion.  People gather together to celebrate the joyous occasion of two people coming together as one.  Different parts of the wedding stick out in people's minds and people will talk about them for years to come.

"Joyous occasion of two people coming together as one."

The one part that always sticks out for me is when the new bride departs with her new found partner in crime and all of sudden the car comes to a halt.  The reason this happens is because the sisters of the bride stand in front of the car not allowing it to go.  You would think that they are stopping the car, so that they can reclaim their sister.  But no, thats not it.  It is pay day.

"All of sudden the car comes to a halt."

Now, if you are the groom you would have already planned for this and had a budget in mind to pay off the sisters.  The groom works with his best man to negotiate to allow the car to leave.  It is a fun moment for all parties as all true negotiation skills come in hand and one party generally always loses out.  In most cases, it is the groom's side.

"Negotiation skills."

Here are some of my favourite frames that I captured of when the "business deal" is happening.
