Arranged wedding

Indian marriages are all about tradition, customs and rituals. As compared to marriages all around the world, Indian marriages are elaborate events. In India, marriages are not only about the bride and the groom but also the mingling of their families. Traditionally, marriages in India were arranged by family members.

Differences

The rituals also vary depending on the culture and religion of the bride and the groom. Amongst all the Indian Weddings, the Punjabi or Sindhi weddings are celebrated over a span of one week, were as the Christiasn weddings require much lesser time. The Indian Wedding rituals vary among
different castes and classes as well; Bengali, Hindu, Kashmiri, Marwari, Punjabi, Buddhist, Muslim, Talim. Punjabi ladies sing and dance on the tunes, other is where the groom´s shoes are hidden by the bride´s relatives and friends and a negotiation takes place regarding the price wich has to be paid for it to be turned; Bhangras and Giddas are dance.

Indian wedding ceremonies make up the Indian weddings. The rituals may differ slightly depending on wich part of Indian the couple comes from. The ceremonies can be divided into three basic parts : Pre-Wedding Ceremonies, Main Day Ceremonies and Post Wedding Ceremonies, while in our church and civil marriages there is only one day Ceremonie and then there may be a trip of them alone, the bride and groom, without their family.
