Hi,
Dear friends i am getting married on 15th december with a handsome man,As every bride has some dreams about her marriage so if your plans comes in a organised way then it will be a best way to attract your guests.
Every bride, Indian or not, can get inspiration from this next featured wedding.
I love, love, love this bright, colorful ceremony. It is just SO happy! For more of this wedding,So i am planning something same like for my marriage.
I am here to confirm the rumors, that yes, it’s true: Indian weddings are up to a week long and have a thousand guests. So, what do we do for all that time? Well, my dear, how else would we have enough excuses to wear all those beautiful saris!
Day 1: Mehndi: Typically hosted at the bride’s parent’s home, this event is traditionally ladies only. Wedding songs are sung by all while the bride’s hands, arms, feet, and legs are decorated with Henna.
Day 2: Sangeet: This party takes place the night before the wedding ceremony and is filled with songs, dances, and food. Friends & family close to the bride and groom prepare a dance number for them to popular Bollywood numbers as a blessing and gift to the couple. The final performance – the anticipated dance by the bride and groom!
Day 3: Ceremony: Indian weddings can take place any time of day…morning, noon, or night, and in very religious families, the time and date are chosen by the priest. India is made up of 28 states, each having numerous subsets of religions and cultures, so most of the Indian wedding ceremonies that you experience in the US are combination of rituals. That being said, almost every Indian wedding will have the following parts to it:
1. Baraat: This is the part where there may be an elephant,or Rath ! The groom arrives with his procession of barattees to pick up his bride. It is a bright affair with tons of music and dancing. The Groom can enter on anything from a horse to a helicopter!
2. Jai mala: In this exchange of flower garlands, the bride and groom now belong to one another.
3. Kanyadaan: Signifying the bride’s parents giving her to the groom, the bride’s hands are placed into the groom’s hands by her parents.
4. Phere: The bride and groom walk around the fire and pray to God for food, physicial, mental, and spiritual health, and prosperity.
5. 7 Sacred Steps: the bride and groom will walk “7 Steps” together and make “7 holy promises” to each other, God, and their marriage.
Day 4: At an Indian reception you will find tons of two things: dancing and food. They last until for hours and hours, so make sure you bring your moves and a pair of back up shoes!
So for each occasion i am planning something BIG...
