Bengali Weddings !!

Recently, I attended my best freind’s wedding. Alot of Rasmae were totally different than in Pakistan. For ex. they had paintings on the floor.. which they called ‘rangoli’, they had couple of ‘matke’ around her chair where she was sitting, mehindi..ubtan…everyone including uncles and cousins (male) were puttin it on her, she was wearing flowers on her mehindi (which was cute

) , red liquid around her feet which they called ‘konkoo’ something, wedding was just like ours..
i havent seen any pakistani wedding where bride does that… let me know if there are some ..basically alot of rasme were exalty like hindu rasme… even though in pakistan most of the rasme have been adopted by hindu culture…
