AW…. I love your blog! May I ask what the difference is between A Hindu wedding an a Bengali wedding?

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!!!

I don’t have a lot of expensive Indian jewelry, which is more than all right with me. There’s the wedding jewelery I’m wearing in the pictures, sets of earrings + necklaces that I got got from each of Aditya’s siblings + spouses, and then one more set of earrings + necklace + bracelet from Maa. And a few smaller pieces from Maa that I was given during that trip to India. And I guess since then I’ve received at least one set of earrings. Hmmm…

I guess that “a lot” is relative.

I try to wear my jewelry – even the fancier pieces – often. Otherwise it seems like a waste. I, of course, wear my gold bangle (the loha) almost every day (sometimes it gets left on the nightstand or around the house if I take it off to play sports/Rock Band). The other pieces I use to make my jeans + shirt office attire look a little less casual. This weekend I’ll be wearing the wedding necklace for the first time since the wedding – finally found an event where it would fit in well.

Oh, and Sepia Mutiny just had a great post on keeping your jewelry safe. This is probably the one place where Kajol & Panda earn their keep.

I wish I could make Aditya write something for the blog. But he’s lazy…
