In movies, they do not really need any guidance with those suave moves. Someone dances, and the rest pick up the dance step improvising new steps cheek by jowl! And yes, everyone is in a great sync, proving unbelievable chemistry. No, this does not happen in real weddings. You will find all kinds of funny steps by uncles and aunties, and cousins and friends.

Weddings are always big in Bollywood movies. But this does not happen in real lives. So, if you dream of your wedding to be something like Hum Saath-Saath Hain, you are most likely to get disappointed. Such long and tedious functions are usually not there, and even if you plan for such functions, they are not so happily joined in by relatives. No one has so much time to spend on one wedding. Normally, these functions are restricted to two or three small functions.
