Marriage - A Traditional Indian Fashion Show!

indian-wedding.jpgWith the monsoon season coming - the marriage season is just getting over in India. For those who do not have much idea about Indian marriages, traditionally, most Indians still go for fixed or arranged marriages. And marriage means very big to all relatives of the bride and bride-groom specially to ladies - young or old who get an opportunity to showcase their special wardrobe through colorful saris, slawar kameezs and of course jewelry of different types and shapes during these occassions. Otherwise, Indian women of rural and semi-urban areas seldom go to parties and thus have very slim chances of showing off who got what dresses during the year!

A traditional Indian wedding is truly remarkable in the sense that, during the main ceremony, amidst continuous wedding interlude music, the priest chants the vows while thousands of eyes look on the stage. After the main ceremony women roam around boosting their colorful saris and they get engaged into socializing and gossiping around while wedding song are played on the background.

Most of the times, Indian weddings cost a lot of money. Who can forget the $60 million spent by steel tycoon Laxmi Mittal for his daughter’s wedding! True, most can’t afford that amount - but still wedding in Indian means colorful dresses, socializing, gossipping and showcasing one’s fashion sense.
