"Decemberistan: Pakistan's Wedding Season"
In Pakistan, the winter months from November to February are known as "Decemberistan" due to the high number of weddings taking place during this time. This period sees millions of people attending weddings every week, with Pakistanis living abroad returning home for the season. Weddings typically involve multiple events and can be costly, with some families spending millions of rupees on celebrations. Despite the financial strain, the wedding season is eagerly anticipated as it provides a rare opportunity for socializing and celebration in the predominantly Muslim country.
