There are so many Customs(Rasams) on wedding but they are different from each other’s means depending on different cultures … like shisha dehkney ki rasam which I have seen and was thinking why is this custom performed ??..
In Arbs tradition only the wedding ceremony held in the marriage halls …no valima in halls 
you can tell us the rasams which you know off or which you have seen …

Re: Different Rasams on wedding
We have one. It’s called Aina Mosaf, which means “mirror and Quran” in Dari. In this, the bride and groom are covered with a green and gold shawl under which they are given a mirror wrapped in a pretty cloth and the Quran. The bride and groom unwrap the mirror and view each other in the mirror and then proceed to recite a surah from the Quran together. How much the couple recite is a matter of preference. Usually, it's only a couple of surahs though.

This is also followed in Sindhi, but no recitation of Quran is done.

Mirror(sheesha) ritual is also in Sindhi culture... Bride and groom both see each other in mirror....

Hmmm really?
Re: Different Rasams on wedding
I have a question. In Pakistani culture, at the mehndi function, who applies the mehndi to bride's hand? I mean, is it someone specific, like her mum, sisters or anything?

Yes mum, aunts, sisters and cousins etc
Re: Different Rasams on wedding
Oh, I see. We do it a bit differently then. Does the groom attend the mehndi function at all?
Re: Different Rasams on wedding
^ these days yes, before it used to be a women only function
Re: Different Rasams on wedding
In few families…
Applying mehndi design on hand or putting mehndi paste on Paan leaf?
For later, everyone does… former.. I don’t know…
Mehndi design application is done after Mayon (women only gathering) and before actual Mehndi function…

Gone are those days.. when groom and bride's family do these function separately... Now... combine mehndi culture is popular.... both families pay equal amount in combine function of Mehndi....

Ahh, I see. In our culture, the groom does attend, albeit briefly. At the beginning of the mehndi, the groom enters and is escorted to where the bride is sitting by the bride's older brother (or male cousin). To begin the function, the bride closes her right hand and, jokingly, does not allow the groom to apply henna to her hand unless he presents her with some sort of gift (usually jewellery or other small items) or if the groom can open her hand by force. After this is done, the groom leaves as the mehndi is considered a women’s party for the most part.
