What goes on in a Desi wedding?

That's a lot....I like simple weddings though Henna's are really cool

I thought you didn't get to pick your dress? And the dresses are colored?! No fair! I may steal yall idea for wedding dresses there. Whites so traditional. How do they drive that car? I'd have issues seeing! And I don't like other people planning what I'm wearing and doing so...I know a Desi wedding would never be for me,

Ah I love watching Desi weddings. Angel, I'm coming to yours!

In our culture, it isn't mandatory that our parents choose our spouses, but it is mandatory for them to approve. Especially the father, when the groom presents his dowry to him (the amount of the dowry is requested by the bride). Well, only the men in the family has to approve.

Our weddings are mostly only a two-day thing, where the bride and groom agree to getting married (contract, the husband saying "I accept her as my wife") in either the court with Imaam's present, or the guy's house with an Imaam and the parents from each side present. After that, the groom and bride and both families and friends go for a photo-shoot (again, this isn't mandatory).

And then the next day would be the big party (mostly held at a hotel or something) where everyone and anyone will drop by to eat(food provided by the two families) and congratulate the two families. The party doesn't last past dawn, though. And after all the guests have left, the bride and groom are whisked off to the groom's house.


These are my cousins that got married. Yes, they are both cousins, and it was a bit weird when they first started dating, but the law states that as long as two people aren't spawned by the same father, they can get married. And so they did. .-.

And they are so perfect together and have a beautiful daughter now.

Ikr. :P And they are only 25. They got married when they were 23 after living together for an year, and dated for 7 years.

Our extended family actually had a huge fight about them dating. The girl's oldest sister asked her to break it off, and she did because back then she wasn't that serious about him. But then he started to stalk her and stuff and begging her to take him back, got landed int he hospital, and then his dad came and talked to my mom (at that time the girl was living with us cuz of school arrangements) and she talked to her and they made up and started dating again, except the guy's mom was still a bit miffed about it, but they all worked everything out in the end. It was all very, weird. For me at least.

Lol! Me too! My brother keeps bringing different girls to our house, and they never come twice. -_________- I swear he's just like our dad was.

I will show you girls our culture's wedding later. They have a lot of similarities with what Amary    said, but there are differences...like the outfits, the dancing and other things.

115 the thing is even Christians from different countries have different traditions. When I post, I'll show you.
