Re: First Morning

omg I'm having similar FarahK

my shaadi, then a one day gap in between (thank GOD I asked my parents for a gap in between), then our walima the 3rd day, and the 4th day is his younger cousin's shaadi. I have no idea when they will set the mehndi as our shaadi and walima come immediately before theirs - I hope to God they don't set it on the day off we have in between our shaadi and walima - I wanted that for me!!!

Re: First Morning

aww well nnabid atleast u get a day off! I don't get a single day off between my mehndi all the way through to the walima plus all the dholkis/mayoun before mehndi!

Re: First Morning

uzzybuzzy, easy to say. I dont even to know what to wear on the days? Do I wear clothes from my jaheiz or from In laws side? decisions and decisions!

29

Re: First Morning

I think ur in laws may expect you to wear their outfits, if they are the formal type & you have functions with their extended family.

My friend had this same concern but her in laws were pretty chill so she just wore a casual outfit of her own, & really liked that she could be comfortable. :)

Re: First Morning

my mum advised me whenever I am at the in laws to always always wear one of their jorras, and whenever I come home or to one of my khala’s etc to wear my own (jahez) jorras. Mainly cus your in laws will be happy you are wearing their suits for their functions (and also cus I don’t like their taste in clothes so don’t want to be seen wearing it in front of my family… :bummer:)

Re: First Morning

taste is always such a subjective thing in laws should really give the bride a budget and let them make what they like....

Re: First Morning

Just ask :) I hadn't been planning on wearing my PJs because 1) It's the first morning - it's nice to dress up a little, 2) All of his family was staying over, 3) We had my family and some other guests coming over for brunch
I was thinking of wearing shalwar kameez - nothing too heavy but not a cotton suit either... I was going to ask my MIL after the Rukhsati what she wanted me to wear (since it's the first day at their house, it's a nice gesture to let her decide) but she told me she had left a suit out for me... I could wear that or something else if I wanted. I stuck to what she had taken out for me :)

And yeah, I dressed up and then went to meet everyone - nobody is expecting you to be up at 9am anyway... sooo for us, it was close to brunch time by the time we showered and got ready!

Re: First Morning

I don't think there is a guideline on how next day should look like - it depends on each family and their traditions, some people are big on those, some aren't, If you are at his family's house - ask your MIL what the next should look like! as goes for kapray - I would keep something really light (I love the idea of a sari - not a wedding wear though) since you have the valima happening either that night or next day so give yourself a little bit of a break

Our next day was not traditional at all - after ruksati we went to our own place the wedding night, next day was valima, got up in the morning - showered, put on my tee/jeans/uggs and got breakfast at burger king, my sister and cousins wanted to bring by breakfast but we said no, because It would've been and hour of a drive for them to get to us, and everyone had to get ready ready for that evening, so my husband drove me to the salon to get my hair done well he waited with me, and off went to the hall where the MUA was waiting for me to do my makeup! pretty slow day just what we needed!!

If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing - we are both very private and low-key

Re: First Morning

I don't remember getting dressed up for breakfast. I slept all day and woke up in the afternoon for the MUA in order to get ready for walima.

Re: First Morning

Sharm/ haya -- modest!! The tradition is to shower and get dressed and then wait for people to come to you. If its getting late though, you should come out and say salam to the elders.

I got dressed with jewellery and everything! Waited for hubby to get ready and went out together.Naashta came from my Maika. Had breakfast with everyone.
