Dear lordstanher!
Mine is an arranged traditional marriage.
Traditions are just a collections of practices that have held on to a society from the past. At no point should we be weighed down by them
What we are today is a result of an iterative process of social and religious reforms that we have been doing for some time. So at no point of time are we worser than our past. Our present includes our past simultaneously. So there is no need to instill artificial pride in the name of our past. That is my point.
