Re: What to wear?
i have to agree with muzna, most of the americans girls who’ve shown up at desi events wearing sarees/shalwar qameez, it’s coz they’re fascinated by eastern clothes, have bought em and were waiting for an occasion to wear 'em.
as long as you don’t wear white/cream (western attire) or gaudy/heavy desi kapray, you’re not likely to take attention from the bride. the last western wedding i went to, i wore a formal (western) suit to the church function, and shalwar qameez for the evening reception.
as for pics, here’s the dress i wore to the reception: http://sila.com/product_detail1.asp?SID=1&menuNav=1&Product_ID=22&Category_ID=2#
