My Experience In A Indian Weeding
Weeding tradition and culture varies between ethnic groups, countries, cultures, and much more things. Two people in love are bonded together with special vows, gifts, blessings in a special way. I love to see people getting married to their loved ones and I wish that may all had a life of a fairy tale. I don't have any plans of getting married but I get excited about marriages.
A week ago, my friend called me and told me about her marriage. I got excited more than her. Being an Asian, I always look forward to some Asian cultures so I can feel at home. I love all the cultures but getting close to the one I am familiar with gives me different vibes. She is an Indian girl and getting married to an Indian guy. Indian marriages have a very long list of events. The first thing I did was shopping. I bought few ethnic wears for the events. I also got some jewellery. I was so excited to go and enjoy it.
A couple days before marriage was a Haldi ceremony where I was invited. In that ceremony, we enjoyed putting henna on our hands and dancing, singing. There were other ceremonies too but I cannot explain them in detail, sorry for that. The most awaited moment for me was their marriage. In the Indian wedding, they put holy fire in the middle and say their vows which have seven sentences or promises and they go around the fire seven times promising to keep that promise for seven centuries. It is performed by someone called Panditji in the Indian language. They don't kiss in the marriage like in western culture. The amazing part for me was the dancing. Bollywood songs are my most favourite song of all time and dancing on them are always amazing. I had amazing food, lots of dances and friends. It was a day well spent.
Take a look at some of the pictures and enjoy them!
