Both sisters were pains in the ass, both sisters were likeable and unlikeable at times. So, my theory about the Hindi ceremony is that Rachel was just trying to distance herself in every way possible from her upbringing.
She was white, so she dated a dark-skinned guy. Presumably, she was raised Christian aren't most affluent whities?
She's from the North East I think , so she moved to Hawaii. Rachel wanted to be everything that her past was not. I agree he didn't seem hindi. But it didnt occur to me someone would theme their wedding as a religion they did not participate in.
I totally thought both the parents sided with the NON effed up kid. If I asked anyone but my sister to be my maid of honor, I doubt she'd ever speak to me again. I dunno, perhaps it is the child of an alcoholic speaking, but Kym at least seemed fun.
As did the other addict in the movie. I felt like if I grew up in this family I too would be an addict. Weird, wacky, and whacked-out stories about weddings. Monday, February 8, Rachel Getting Married. I like my movies pitch black, so it's something I recommend if you, like me, enjoy writers who are downright sadistic to their characters. And weddings. Spoilers and editorials ahoy! Kym is this spoiled, self-centered drug addict. She's trying to clean up, but if she's anything like the druggies I grew up with, she'll probably never be anything but a black hole for people to throw their love and patience into.
They are exactly as selfish and overly-dramatic as Kym was in this film. So, who the hell is Rachel? Well, Rachel is Kym's older sister, and she has run out of patience for her little sister.
Kym sucks up all the attention, adoration, and patience from her parents, and despite Rachel being the put-together, successful sister.
Again, it's very true to life. It was only in the last scene when Rachel waves goodbye to Kym that I felt myself relaxing. Not so much. But I want to emphasize that it really was all in the script.

I have not seen the film, but I am wondering why the movie poster features two white people getting married who aren't in Indian garb.
If not, do you suppose this was a ploy by the movie studio to avoid showing an interracial couple on their advertising? I'm very curious. Thank you for any insight! Hi Elizabeth, I just googled the movie poster--and the couple in the background is actually the father of the bride and the bride--and she is wearing a sari. Hope that helps! Best, Jennifer. Ahh, okay. Thank you for the clarification, Jennifer! I could not tell the dress was a sari due to the blurring. Also, it is my understanding that traditional wedding saris are red.
Elizabeth, Traditional wedding saris are red, but this wouldn't be a traditional Indian wedding since none of the bride or the groom's family were Indian! Thanks for stopping by! It was very frustrating to see all of those Indian elements used in such a careless way in this movie, as if merely for the sake of how "exotic" it makes everything look and feel.
I mean, a bunch of Americans with no Indian background sitting around in saris and asking, "you want some saag paneer? However, I do want to point something out in your post. You mean Hindu. Now that's an equally frustrating, not to mention ignorant statement to make and I've heard it far too often.
