Marriage functions

Today, Indians won a scintillating test match against the arch enemies Pakistan. I almost missed the victory courtesy a marriage function I had to attend. I tried to avoid the function, but for sentimental reasons I could not. This just goes on to prove that, as usual, the heavens were against me. The stars had to come into correct alignment for this couple just when there were far more important things for me to do.
Marriages are made in, they say. They are even scheduled by the heavens, and this heavenly scheduling is the only criterion(except in places like Chennai, where availability of a roof over the marriage altar is the primary criterion). In my opinion, on top of all this, there should be another factor that goes into this scheduling viz., consultation with the BCCI. This consultation should be done even before the priest comes into the picture. Therefore, the marriage date shall be fixed on a day when

1) There is no cricket match
2) The hall is available
3) The axis of the stars form the correct angle or waddever the heavenly criteria are.

in that order.

This ensures that events like marriages are more memorable for people like me. It also ensures that I can try enjoying the food rather than having the score as the uppermost thing in my mind.
Anyways, I made a quick exit as soon as formalities(read lunch) were over and just about made it back to see the last coupla wickets falling.
