this is one weird dress! i dont like it!
Re: Bridal Pics
There's nothing weird about it...it's a lehnga that is long because she is likely not wearing her heels when the picture was taken.
She has a purple shawl that is hanging from her arms. That's not part of the outfit.
Re: Bridal Pics
My lengha was the same way from the bottom, even though I was wearing heels, I got annoyed coz I thought it’d been sewn longer than supposed ot…but then everyone kept saying its supposed to be xtra long, it doesnt make any sense to wear such a long drses that I’d need help walking in it 
Re: Bridal Pics
all dulhans are supposed to need help walking....
In my family...from the maternal side anyway....the dulhans literally do not set foot upon the ground from the day of their mayoun ceremony. They are also not permitted to eat anything with salt in it.
On the day of the wedding the maternal uncle (i.e. mamoon) of the bride carries her in his arms to the doli/car and to the stage and once the ceremony is completed, it is the responsibility of the dulha to carry her away. Yes. Literally carry her away to the waiting dolhi/car.
The uncle carrying her is supposed to symbolize the comfort and care with which her family has raised/kept her and the dulha carrying her is supposed to symbolize his ability to continue doing so in the future.
Sweet na?
Re: Bridal Pics
wow Muzna, that is sweet! But whats the reasoning behind not eating salty food?
Re: Bridal Pics
^ to prevent bloating 
Its all certainly very sweet. I wish I’d had a doli…I even pushed for one, still dont remember why I dint have it…
Re: Bridal Pics

motivation to lose weight, init?
but it doesn't matter....I've seen uncles carry over-weight cousins slung over their shoulder....any way is fine...as long as she is carried.
Re: Bridal Pics
lol! cave man style, so her a$$ is in everyone's face...classy!!!
Re: Bridal Pics
thats so sweet! I remember watching a video as a kid of this guy carrying the dulhan to the stage and at that time I thought the dulhan was hurt or something
Re: Bridal Pics

LOL. Definitely not the most flattering side of a dulhan....but it didn't come across as crude or obscene. I was there. It was actually quite a sombre moment because it was like her departure from her home....so most of us had tears in our eyes.
Besides....the class of the concept supersedes all else so nobody really looked at it from the perspective that you have chosen.
This also happened in my extended family where there were two uncles and they made a seat for the dulhan by crossing/joining arms, like a make-shift swing, and carried her in to the stage. She sat on their forearms with her arms around their shoulders and appeared quite regal, like a princess being carried in.
Re: Bridal Pics
I hate this thread…makes me wanna get [EMAIL=“married…@bummer”]married…
Muzna-That is one of the sweetest things i have heard…awww
Re: Bridal Pics
Muzna: These traditions r sweet but ive neva seen any1 here(in London) do them. My hubz carried me over the threshold when we got married and we had a few pics taken at the time but he ended up having to carry me for a few mins which i dont think he particularly minded. HOWEVA his back really DIDNT thanked me for it tho.
Re: Bridal Pics
