Hindu Wedding Ceremony

The Hindu wedding ceremony is a sacred and deeply meaningful event that marks the union of two individuals in the presence of family and friends. It is a complex and elaborate ceremony that involves various rituals and traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation.

The Hindu wedding ceremony typically lasts several hours and takes place at a Hindu temple or a venue that has been specifically designed for the occasion. It begins with the arrival of the groom and his family, who are greeted by the bride's family at the entrance of the venue.

The ceremony itself is divided into several distinct rituals, each with its own symbolic meaning. One of the most important rituals is the "jaimala" ceremony, in which the bride and groom exchange flower garlands as a symbol of their love and commitment to each other. Another important ritual is the "saptapadi," in which the bride and groom take seven vows of love and commitment, symbolized by seven steps taken together around a sacred fire.

Throughout the ceremony, the couple is surrounded by family and friends who offer their blessings and support. The wedding is also accompanied by music, singing, and dancing, adding to the joyous atmosphere of the event.

In conclusion, the Hindu wedding ceremony is a sacred and meaningful event that celebrates the union of two individuals and the beginning of a new life together. It is rich in tradition and symbolism, and is an important part of Hindu culture and heritage.

Day 2: "It is not eyes that meet but souls that dance"

Their eyes did not meet— all Kate could do was admire his wide shoulders, the muscular span of his back partially covered by a heavy floral garland and his silk angavastram— and yet their souls danced as one, across the flickering flames, between the scent of incense and the ancient Sanskrit words. Danced, made room and settled into one another until there was nowhere else to hide.

Do You Know Hindu Wedding Ceremony Traditions?

Hindu weddings are vibrant, intricately planned, culture-rich celebrations filled with celebration and tradition. Whereas the essence of a Hindu wedding ceremony is the physical, spiritual and emotional union of two people; It is also about the coming together of two families through prayer and celebration.

“A Hindu marriage takes place somewhere between the couple’s expectations while blending their family traditions,” explains Vatsyayana resort people. “With many rituals and small ceremonies leading up to the day of the main ceremony, it binds the couple and both the families for eternity.”

Oh man, there's just something about weddings- no matter what religion/country, that each have their certain features that is just oh so endearing and I'd just love to have it all😭

Okay, so take Hindu weddings. There's a lot of things to love, but my fav? The sindoor, because it's just so so intimate and like- some people say that if some of that red powder falls on your nose, it means that your husband loves you very much 😭😭😭😭 oh not to mention, I saw some guy touching his forehead with his brides to apply the sindoor and I just- 🫠

Then take Muslim weddings, and like yes, indo obviously love the whole "mehr" thing, but it's always so adorable to see what the bride asks for her mehr (which is often money, but not always. Some brides ask for a kitten, a trip, or even a verse from Quran)🩷🩷🩷 and also the first halal hug- oh its just so heartwarming to see the way the groom embraces his bride in his arms with the utmost carr, maybe a peck on the forehead if they're into PDA.

And then there's catholic weddings, where they do the vows- "in sickness and in health" omg😭 and and the bride wearing something "blue, borrowed" etc that's cute too- BUT ALSO THE "ANYONE HAS ANY OBJECTIONS?" omg I would die if some (handsome and wanted) guy did actually object to my matrimony.

But apart from religious weddings, I also love everyone's traditions- I saw a video of Hunza people in Pakistan, where the couple make rotis (bread) together to signify the bond of their relationship- teamwork.

I know some of u guys would LOVE this- in Roma weddings, the guy kidnaps the girl of his liking (as far as I know, the guy already has the blessings and permission from the girl's parents) and then after negotiations, a wedding happens.

*gasps* I JUST REMEMBERED when I was little I used to watch Indian soap dramas and I was so jealous when I found out that not everyone does that ceremony where there's a bowl of milk with rose petals in it, and they drop a ring in it for the bride and groom to find and whoever finds it first, will mean that that person will be more dominant in the relationship- and EVERY SINGKE TIME THE GUY WOULD FIND THE RING FIRST BUT DISCREETLY PASS IT TO HIS WIFE SO THAT SHE COULD BE THE WINNER ONGGGGG

And then the Arab countries just practically frowning the bride in gold and money... I like that very much.

Wait omg I remember that Pakistanis have these GRAND welcome for the new bride in their home. I mean, first the groom brings her home in a fancy car or something, then the entire house is lit up with fairy lights and then they do FIREWORKS 😭😭

And in Indian, Pakistani, Bengali weddings, there's the henna tattoo ceremonies, and I love that so much, maybe because I grew up watching bollywood and desi shows, so I'm just gonna say they have amazing weddings.

*sniffle* I get it- I get why women dream of their weddings all their life.
