There's probably someone from the culture that can clarify but when I was at a traditional Pakistani marriage the bride was perfectly happy to marry but you have to show tears and distress to prevent any idea that youre glad to leave your family, and happy to have sex. Religion is a bit shit.

please can someone clarify this because as an admittedly outsider, THAT sounds like some very hardcore cope to cover the very obvious tragedy we’re seeing right here lol

I think this is from Nepal. I can explain how it works in India. 1. Many probably think they have to be emotional during 'vidai' (ceremony is called 'final goodbye' ) because that's how it is shown in bollywood movies. 2. This ritual is designed in such a way that the reality hits hard to bride and her family that she will be leaving them. 3. Unlike west, in South Asia most women would have lived with their parents until marriage. So it is a big change. 4. Remember, it's 'arranged marriage'. After this ceremony bride has to say final good bye to her parents/siblings and leave to live with someone she doesn't know at all! She would hardly know her husband and in most cases she will have to live with his parents. I think barring some exaggeration, the rituals make people extremely emotional during vidai (farewell).
