Merey Bhai ki shadi hai! OOH Merey Bhaiya ki shaadi hai :D
(OMG, I just realized that I started my wedding files with 5 months minus 1day to go and I am starting my brothers with 5 months minus 2 days to go , lol)
Well you have seen me OBSESSING over all things bridal in my
Wedding Files , you saw me become a bride from a bridezilla, you saw things from the bridal-family's eyes, And now its about time I start obsessing over things related to the groom side of the family.
My brother's getting married :D ye! and I am super thrilled because :
a) well its my brother, helloo...obviously!
b) I get to wear sundar sundar clothes again!
So whats happened so far,
Well the roka is done, which is not a huge function in our family (North Indian Brahmins, well Kaushik brahmin if you want details :P ) Its where the bride's family gives a nariyal to the groom.
Now in our side when I got married we gave a green nariyal i.e. kachha nariyal to my husband (well then fiance now hubby), however in my bhabhi's family they give dry nariyal which is what my brother was given.
We in return gave my future bhabhi a gold necklace, however when I got married my in-laws gave me 2 Saree's, I think these comparisons would be great for us to understand how different families have slightly different traditions.
Well it was just our close family that met that day for dinner and this little ritual and now we are waiting for October for engagement and December for the wedding.
Here is a list of things done and not done :
