    I particularly love the henna designs on the bride's hands and legs. It's interesting to learn about the wedding ceremonies from other culture. --- Blessed ---

    What a fantastic lens. It is so interesting to learn about the customs and ceremonies in cultures other than those in my own country.

    Very enlightening! My husband had a friend/co-worker who invited us to his wedding in Canada. We were not able to attend simply because of the amount of time required to travel and attend the festivities. The man brought his Indian bride back to America to live. She is by far one of the most beautiful and graceful women I have ever met. I loved her immediately. That was over 20 years ago and it breaks my heart to know this lovely lady is miserable, but she feels she is "bond" and has no other options, even in America.

    I was very interested to learn more about Indian weddings and your pictures are just incredible. Thanks to Squidoo Lens Reviews for pointing me to this lens.

    Wow. Hard to wrap my head around the festivities and then the shock of dowry wrath. ...This is an excellent first-hand account, and beautifully done.

    This is wonderful and I learned a lot about Indian weddings - both good and bad. Indian weddings do look so beautiful and it was sad to learn the tragedy that awaits some of these brides. I'm delighted to have reviewed this lens for the Squidoo Lens Reviews blog (I'm working ahead of schedule so look out for it on Monday 8 March and if you like you can also claim a review badge at the blog once the review has been published!).

    Incredible rituals, the wedding itself looks so beautiful, the dowry business is awful though! I really enjoyed learning about these Indian weddings, thanks for sharing!

    Wow, fantastic info.

    Quite a different viewpoint and ritual than American weddings! Beautifully done, this was really interesting. Squid Angel blessed.

    As a Certified Henna Artist I've done quite a few mehndi bridal parties and I just love the whole family ritual feel of Indian weddings...non-Indian people probably don't realize that the mehndi process can take hours... the bridal henna alone can take anywwhere fron 4-8 hours, then there is all of the rst of the women, mothers, grandmothers, sisters and close friends of both the bride and the groom have henna applied as well as the bride.

    The traditional Indian bridal henna is beautifully intricate & detailed... but the mehndi process is an intimate, yet festive bonding between the new bride & her family & friend... and as a non-Indian, to be allowed the honor to be a part of the ceremony is a gift...not to mention the incredible food & music!

    Wonderfuk lens!... Blessed!
