As the year draws to an end I look back......really back, into photo's that have no colors. Into weddings where wearing a '
fatta-hua' frock was ok, and the bride hadn't turned bridezilla (the word I don't think even existed back then). I look into weddings where having a photographer at your wedding was a big thing.

| This is a wedding of 1946 |

| See she wasn't so freaked out about the MUA not turning up :P |
 |
Not a big fan of her saree pleats?! wonder why nobody made those perfectly?!
or is it like a weird lehenga style? cant make out. |
 |
I love the boys dhoti, add a band galey ka coat and he is ready for 21st century.
The bride's pleats look better in this pic. |
 |
Wonder what the Saree fabric is....
In the other pictures it looked cotton-y but in this picture it looks silk, see it shines a bit.
If the color was maroon, then the bride was totally 'rocking' it with the strips, or hot pink maybe?? Any idea if hot pink was a prevalent color in 1946?? Anybody is a History major?
Also notice the varmala on the bride is not round, its just a straight string. |

Well...if you decorate the umbrella and give it to the boy behind, remove the stick then maybe it could give a little royal look.
I guess people weren't to worried about looking good on wedding days back then, they had more important things to do, like fight for our independence. |
What do you think? Anything you liked? or didn't?
In the last pic, the guy is pretending to go to kaashi and thats y the stick n umbrella. The girls dad stops the guy n asks him to marry his daughter. This ritual is still followed even today down south
