What to Expect at a Danish Wedding (part 2) with Kriti Prajipati | 174 — What Are You Doing in Denmark?

Danish weddings have rules, rituals, and surprises most outsiders never see - and Indian weddings have their own glorious chaos. Kriti Prajippati returns to share what actually happens when cultures, ceremonies, and expectations collide, from gift etiquette and dress codes to the tiny traditions that can leave you completely lost. Kriti - comedian, content creator, and host favorite - also reveals how living in Denmark for nine years shaped her new solo show, debuting at the UP Festival in Copenhagen this October.

Along the way, the conversation gets wonderfully specific: the midnight timing of some Indian weddings, the Danish custom of speeches and songs, the infamous sock-cutting tradition, and the awkward reality of trying to navigate it all as an international guest.You’ll discover:

what to wear to a Danish wedding, and what not to wear
why gifts can range from cash to very personal, very unexpected choices
how Danish weddings differ from Indian, Hungarian, and mixed-culture celebrations
why speeches, songs, and staged performances can stretch a Danish dinner into an all-night affair
the rituals - from kissing customs to sock cutting - that can catch first-timers off guard
