to the girls who romanticise desi culture, wear duppattas and kurtis 24/7, have an obsession with their jhumkas, always have their hair tied in braids, love mehendi with their whole heart, make chai worthy of drinking, watch bollywood movies and pakistani dramas, roam in the bazaars;

you slay <3

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.

i remember being like 10 or 11 and watching zindagi gulzar hai which was a popular pakistani drama at the time. it had a sort of enemies to lovers story, of this guy and girl meeting in college and hating each other, then they meet again in their professions and they’re not as antagonistic anymore, the usual.

anyway he proposes marriage to her eventually, and she clearly is going to say no. she hates him, even if he’s not the worst anymore she could never see them being compatible. then a housekeeper comes in with a cup of tea, but right before he can give it to her, the cup slips from his hand. and before it can burn her, the guy reaches out to stop the cup and lets his own hand get burned. and then she agrees to marry him.

and I remember thinking that was such a dumb reason to agree. it’s just a cup of tea. except it’s so not. it’s someone prioritizing her. it’s someone caring about her enough to stop her from getting hurt. it’s someone letting themselves feel pain or discomfort so that she doesn’t have to. and honestly? i think I would have said yes after that too.
