Hindu-doo

First there was the lavish ten-day wedding extravaganza. Then there were the pissed-off, disgraced in-laws, pointed fingers and a wedding bridge to be dismantled because it was too flashy. Oh, and then talks of disowning the groom because of the brouhaha. And now, a Hindi printing press owner who apparently subscribes to the Hello! tabloid mag is suing Liz Hurley and new husband Arun Nayar because (he wasn't invited to the wedding) they flagrantly flouted their disrespect for Hinduism by "kissing, drinking," wearing leather shoes and dancing a little too close to something called the "sacred fire." Because he wasn't invited, I mean, is outraged by their disrespect, the angry non-wedding guest wants to see them both "severely punished." The report explains:

"A witness to the glitzy wedding of British model Elizabeth Hurley and India's Arun Nayar will tell a court this week that the nuptials contravened Hindu traditions, a lawyer said on Monday. The glamorous couple wed in the desert city of Jodhpur over a month ago but may now risk jail there with a judge set to decide whether they should be prosecuted after hearing testimony presented by enraged Hindus."

"India's penal code makes it an offence punishable by three years in jail to 'outrage' any group's religion with 'deliberate and malicious intention.'


Tacky? Yes. Excessive? Most definitely. A wedding hosted with "deliberate and malicious intent?" Oh Mr. Printing Press Man who was not invited to the big, tacky, excessive wedding, don't fret. You've still got 3 days to score an invite to the even flashier Ash-abhishek nuptials and then score some free press when it's all said and done.
