What a wedding....and a beautiful couple mashaAllah...hope they always stay as happy as they look!! ...
seeing all those dollars given away at the joota chuppai...makes me wonder what this guy does for a living ..:P
was recently talkin' to this Romanian friend of mine...and I was pretty amazed at what she told me about their weddings...she said that they always have huge weddings and they spend aa lot on everything...but like SGC said... the relatives and friends are so generous...that the money the bride and groom gets not only cover the wedding costs but sometimes they get enough to get a down payemnt for a house or enough to get a new car...
our customs are so messed up... ur parents or you can end up spending ur lives savings and people will still back talk about things not being perfect.... Sad really!
Yeah that is kinda sad :( i've never been to a non-desi wedding s i cant' say if htey're more generous than desis when it comes to gifts etc.
