SGC; I like to think it's because at asian weddings, where there are millions of guest and loads of new brides wondering around with their red lenghas and jhoomars (trying to out do the brides), that a stage is required so you can find the bride and groom to give them blessings....and gifts!!!
at my wedding my so called intelligent sister -in- laws- to- be have all informed me that they are all wearing their wedding outfits, i don't care if they are not wearing their dupatta on their heads, i'm still mega annoyed.....i'm the bride!!!!!!!
ok but you see, if all those brides had had amazing weddings where they were allowed to walk around and chill and mingle, then maybe they wouldn't be so bitter and try to outdo other brides and ruin their wedding days too! :P
and wow, that sucks about your sil's... biatchy much? make sure the stage is 10 feet high and they need a ladder to get to it! that'll show 'em! :P
Lublyjubly thats just MAD! I know a lot of ppl do wear their wedding outfits again. I mean for a close friends wedding(i dont have any sisters and my mate is like a sister to me) I wore my valima outfit at the mehndi and my red wedding outfit at her valima-with no jhoomars or tikkas or anything like that. But u REALLY need the brides permission if u wanna wear ur shaadi outfit again and it shudnt b on the days clashing with the bride. Like i wore my wedding reception outfit on the mhendi. The last thing u wanna do is compete with the bride. Its her big day. Ur sis in laws have obviously had their big days. R they having their hair and make up done professionally as well?
U know what i dont think i sat down even once at my wedding reception-i was too busy dancing ands boogieing and chatting to every1. Actually i only sat down to eat!
That would annoy and upset me and probably send me into a screaming fit.
I’ve been to weddings where there were more than 3 “new” dhulans walking around in their bridal gear from head to toe. It’s the rudest thing ever. Do goray woman wear their wedding dresses to someone else’s wedding? It’s so rude when our girls do that …
You do need the bride’s permission. Even if it is a close family member. My sister would never do that to me, who the heck is anybody else to even try?
Ur right Mehnaz ive neva seen an English bride wear her wedding dress again.
I only wore mine again cos my friend is like a sister to me and she didnt mind. Plus i didnt wear them on the same days and the main bridal days. I mixed it up. Thats bad tho wearing the full jhoomars/tikkas etc. Thats just NOT right. Thank god no1 did that when i got married. I wud have been livid.
the thing is u all i think live in england , canada and america. the culture u r living is different and pakistani culture is different. in pakistan no one minds if someone else wear a wedding dress. its not a big deal its a usual thing for them. ap log angreezoon k tarz-e-zindgi k aadi ho chukay ho.
i wudnt like it if they had their bridal lehenga on as well as their jewellry an dupatta on da head that wud seriously piss me off, i wudnt mind if they had their clothes on with their dupatta nt on der head.
i know this bridal competition is a paki thing to do, just as in pakistan people are 'honest' and 'speak their minds' when they ask question like: "why are you so fat/dark/spotty" etc their bluntness and inability to maintain personal boundaries doesn't make it right just because that's they way things are done in pakistan.
Well we're not English/goray thats why we don't follow gora wedding traditions of not wearing a white wedding dress.
It' s also practical. Wedding dresses and esp jewlery costs alot of money. If you won't wear that stuff at a wedding then when will u wear it? The majority of people in Pakistan are not rich that they can afford to buy wedding dresses and gold jewelery then just put it away to NEVER wear again. Hum itnay stupid nahin hain :D
