Ahh you look so beautiful!!! Im really jealous lol, I can’t wait to have a traditional Indian wedding of my own. Thanks for sharing all your experiences as well, they really helped me keep from freaking out when I met his parents. Congratulations on the wedding, and I hope you both have amazing lives together!

Dear GG,

I stumbled into this blog while researching for my own approaching Indian marriage. Its so great to read you stories; I haven’t even met my future in-laws and yet we are planning to be married in a rural part of Andhra Pradesh at the end of this year! I don’t really know what to expect, but reading this has calmed me down a bit. Its nice to know what your heading into

BTW you look gorgeous! Your Sari and bridal jewelry are so lovely!

Thanks again for your wonderful blog! Finally a blog that shares the happiness that my hubby-to-be and I have for each other! (Oh yea, and the silliness/dorkiness too.)

Gori,
Is it just me or do Indian guys just LOVE gori girls?

I dont see as much of the opposite type pairings, in my experience.

If you ask me; I’m pretty impartial. “internal goodness” is attractive.

Yes, the traditions certainly differ by region! We didn't do a traditional Bengali wedding (Aditya didn't want to wear the customary Bengali groom's hat), but more of a pan-India, stripped-to-the-basics Vedic one. I'm glad that we went the route we did, since I'm too fidgety to sit through a longer ceremony.

Well, I suppose I could… I’ll have to think about it, tho – I’m not sure if most of it is blog-worthy material.

I love reading your wedding story and I love all the great traditions and symbolism of hindu weddings. Its also interesting to see the differences in different cities, as the wedding I went to was in Chennai and they did somethings similarly and a lot of things really differently. You guys both look so nice and really happy together too! Wish I lived close enough to be a part of the meet-up you mentioned in an earlier post!

GG I loved reading all seven parts of your wedding story, it was good. It would be nice if the husband wrote something on here, maybe he will someday. About the whole heart thing don’t worry I use to do that lot growing up. I have learned something from working in health care just turn the image around in your mind or cross your left arm over your right and you have the persons heart in the right place now. I love all the bangles in the photos I love to wear bangles, just hate that I can’t wear them to work

GG, thanks for posting that link to the SM story; I hadn’t heard about that. Scary!

I wear my mangalsutra, two pairs of earrings, and my bangles pretty regularly. Everything else stays locked up and only gets pulled out for weddings because they’re a bit much for everyday use.

yep actually that does sound like “a lot” compared to what you would have owned if you weren’t married to a S. Asian guy!!!
