Re: First trip to Pakistan after getting married
Ok, not all punjabi girls dress or are forced to dress they way you guys have described....lol... It really depends on the family. My sister is married into non-punjabis ((pure karachiittes) but after her wedding she was also expected to dress in the heaviest dresses with all her jewelry which ofcourse she didn't...lol. she wore fancy shadi type dresses but not the ones you have a hard time walking in and in the jewelrey she is not at all into wearing sets and big big stuff so she didn't. So at the end of the day it really boils down to the family. Most families (leaving all ethnicities aside) believe or prefer that the new bride wears all those 10000 dresses they have got stitched. I think it is more the fact that when people spend all that money preparing the berri (speel?) then they also like the new bride wearing or dressing up in them atleast for a week or two.
just my two cents....lol
