Take the flower necklaces for example....you know the phool key haar. I have NO idea what PRACTICAL PURPOSE these stupid rose necklaces serve. But at the Barat, the girl's side is EXPECTED to get one made for each person in the groom's immediate family...so basically groom, his parents, his siblings etc.
totally true! but since you're obligated, i thought i'd pass this on- i know of two places that do it for $40 and $48 respectively. the $40 is for carnations, its very pretty but super heavy.
the $48 is for orchids which are super light and you can choose any colour. PM me for details.
fasadi, its true- my parents are very even like that. what they do for me, they will also do for her iA. there isn't even any question about that. they've always treated us siblings equally and will extend her the same courtesy to her, because of course, they realize, what a HUGE commitment and change she is making in her own life by marrying into our family. i can think of no greater acceptance into a family than for parents to treat their newest family member like they treat their own flesh-and-blood children.
