Re: First trip to Pakistan after getting married
^ I dont know if that's just a punjabi thing.....
One thing i noticed this year, real sona isn't as important to be wearing all the time, u can wear any type of jewelery you want when going out, like those big huge earrings or sets...
I definetely concur with that.
And IRA For dressing up, all dependent on the family one is wed into and your own decisions. Taking cues from your Mother in law or the other relatives is very helpful
Re: First trip to Pakistan after getting married
^ Who the hell would wear a lengha around the house? And actually expect their DIL to??
lol yes, i agree, but the way the original question was posed made it sound like those were the expectations new brides were facing... i.e. lehengas around the house :P
Re: First trip to Pakistan after getting married
why does everyone say u have to "act like a bride" what does that even mean? just be urself. wear nice clothes but u dont have to do that all the time, u cant be all dolled up in the house w. tons of jewelry and makeup every day unless u really like doing that. i mean if someone comes over or if u are invited over ppls houses then def get super drssed up as u are still a new bride. but i wouldnt do it all just to please everyone.
and as far as cooking why does every MIL want to see what u can do in the kitchen?? does that make u a better person? ha my MIL asked taht i cook something i told her that her stove was too dangerous and plus i was the guest i really didnt feel like cooking. i didnt cook anything i am a good cook too but just the backwards ness of that comment made me not want to do it.
plus bring a mix of clothes....i went in dec/jan and its a lot colder than i expectd. during hte day ur fine it can get hot but at nite and morning ...bring sweaters even a coat and robes and socks for at home.
