They keep the wedding ceremony on a separate day when only the near family members attend. This way the wedding ceremonies are kept intact and exclusive. The plus point of an exclusive wedding is that it is intimate. Since, it is a small gathering people can actually soak in the ceremonies and rituals. They keep the party later where the whole world is invited. This way, the wedding couple can also enjoy the party as there are no ceremonies and rituals on that day for them to take part in. So, it is the best of both worlds.
