Re: First trip to Pakistan after getting married
assuming that your in laws are punjabi...no offense intended but take jewelery. for the first time relativves and friends are going to see you you should be wearing your bangles and jewelery....ask your MIL for advice on how big things should be but do take stuff. take nice clothes..it will be cold so sweaters/shawls and no sandles.
Good point!! i'm married into punjabis but really had no idea that i was supposed to wear all my sonay k haar chooriyan etc after shadi whether they go with my outfits or not but i remember at a wedding one of the aunties was shocked to see that i had no gold on me n how come i wasn't wearing the most heaviest of a dress....I was quite offended coz firstly it should be a personal choice and not a requirement plus what if someone can't afford 6 gold k kare or chooriyan?
Anyways, don't be shocked if someone asks about what things or how much gold you were given in your jahez....Be sure to wear all your gold jewelry so they don't bug you ! :)
