The serial wedding attendee, Orry, shares how he survives the big fat Indian weddings...
Orry's wedding survival kit Manifest
While India's most famous "liver" is often front row at the country's most extravagant nuptials and centre stage at all the wedding functions, hand-in-hand with some of the country's most elite names, Orry, the ultimate wedding guest, actually hates weddings. In under a year, he’s travelled across continents to attend 88 wedding functions, donned countless designer ensembles, posed for thousands of photos and videos, and collected enough gossip to fuel a Netflix docuseries—only to develop a deep disdain for weddings. Fresh off a dizzying circuit, the Internet’s most omnipresent wedding guest breaks down why he has such a begrudging dislike for weddings. He spills the tea on his hacks to survive and often even escape a wedding or a wedding function.
