Re: Post Bridal Make-up Pics real Weddings would be great
You all are so sweet for your comments. I guess when I do get married one day, inshaa’Allah, you guys can see the pics and THEN tell me if I looked good or not.

i’m of two minds about that… i mean my cousin was an example of this- she usually never wore makeup, and i did her chotti dinner makeup even cos she didn’t know HOW to do makeup… anyway, the point is, she was unrecognisable on her wedding day. she looked absofrickinlutely GORGEOUS. i have to find her pics and put them on here. but then, she didnt look like herself. i have an issue with that. i mean, shouldn’t you look the most like yourself, and the least like a dress-up doll on your wedding day? its such an important day and its nice to look good but not to the extent that people won’t know you! especially when you can never replicate that look, nor do you want to replicate that look. it seemed like she wasn’t being true to herself. quote]
I agree with femme Fatale. I think that girls who get married in Pakistan usually look far better than girls who get married here in the States, not bc they are prettier, but just because the parlors really know how to set everything perfectly. This is probably the only reason why I want to get married in Pakistan, even though I know getting married there has its own issues.
My cousin got married a couple of years back and she never wore makeup before marriage. On her wedding day, all everyone kept saying was how beautiful she looked and how different she looked. I never thought of the fact that it was wierd that she didn’t look like herself, the way somegroovychick put it. That really has me thinking now. I kind of always wanted it to be that way with me—“ooh she looks so pretty and different than she normally does.” My mother always told me that when a girl gets married there should be a noticeable change (i.e she should not look the same way she did before marriage bc she is a married woman now).
