INDIAN WEDDING CEREMONY
Details of the scenario are discussed with clients in advance and can be changed at their request.
The day before the ceremony (or earlier), we invite the bride and groom and their guests to take a trip to an Indian store where they can choose traditional wedding dresses, accessories and jewelry. On this day, in the evening after an early dinner, the bride will have traditional wedding henna designs - "mehendi" - applied to her hands and feet. This procedure lasts 1-2 hours.

The wedding itself is usually held in the evening. In separate cars, the bride and groom and their guests arrive at the wedding venue.
At this point, a small temple has already been prepared, specially built for the ceremony. It is covered with an awning, decorated at the corners with four palm trees and decorated with many fragrant flowers, mainly yellow color.
Traditionally, at an Indian wedding, after the bride and groom receive their parents' blessing for marriage, a small but important ritual is performed called "gaye kholud" - a ritual in praise of the color yellow, which Indians associate with the color of the sun and serves as a symbol of fidelity. The Gaye Kholud ceremony is very reminiscent of the festival of colors, Holi, with the only difference being that there is only one color - yellow. First, everyone present paints their foreheads, and then sprinkles yellow powder on each other.
After this, the groom stands on a flat stone and waits for several people to carry out the bride in a wooden palanquin - in a rich, usually bright red sari, with a lot of jewelry. The porters walk around the groom seven times, and then, stopping, ask the newlyweds to look into each other's eyes. This look is called “shubho drishti” - the very first look.
The entire wedding procession moves to a small "vedi" temple, made of five bamboo sticks covered with colorful fabrics. In the center of it there is a fire, where the bride and groom, as a sacrifice to the gods, will throw for good luck all those elements that will accompany them in the future. life together, and which should be in abundance in the matrimonial home: grain, salt, sugar, butter, honey, milk, spices...
The priest, saying a prayer and hearing the vows of the newlyweds, joins the hands of the newlyweds with a garland of flowers and pours milk on them.
After which the groom applies red paint to the forehead and parting of his bride: now they are husband and wife. Only after this, the bride and groom will exchange rings, and everyone present will shower them with flower petals for blessing.
One end of the bride's sari is then tied with the groom's sash, signifying their union and affection for each other. After which the young people circle the sacred fire 7 times. This ritual will forever seal their bonds.
Then everyone goes to celebrate in a room called "bozargan", where a whole performance is staged with dances and songs. During the concert and entertainment program, relatives and guests of the newlyweds give their gifts.

WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IS IT BETTER TO HOLD A WEDDING?
Saturday is the most common day for celebrations. But according to astrologers, it is the least successful. After all, this day is patronized by Saturn - the planet of self-denial and self-restraint. Spouses who marry under the “blessing” of this planet must be prepared for complete dedication. If the newlyweds are not ready for such mutual concessions, the stars happy marriage do not guarantee. Reschedule the wedding for another day.
But not on Tuesday and Thursday! Their patrons Mars and Jupiter can bring a young family a lot of quarrels and misunderstandings, scandals and even betrayals.
Wednesday is ruled by Mercury. In principle, this day is favorable for a wedding. But only for those people who are guided in their actions by the arguments of reason, and relationships in a couple are subject to calculation. If you are emotional and burning strong feelings, then over time Mercury will cool down and bring disappointment to the marriage.
Monday is the day of the moon. The most mysterious planet establishes a subtle emotional connection between spouses. But, unfortunately, it is as unstable as the lunar path on the surface of the water is unstable.
Friday and Sunday - perfect days marriage. All astrologers are unanimous in this. Friday is patronized by Venus - the planet of harmony and peace, and also the friend of all lovers. Sunday is under the control of the Sun. This means that any deed done on this day will bring joy.
If you and your future husband love the East, then try stylizing your wedding in this style. Moreover, by East we mean Japan, India and colorful Morocco. So there is a huge scope for imagination. The main thing is that there will be no problems with the choice of dishes :) And here are some delicious ideas for the wedding.

rituals were seriously modernized, but none of them experienced such profound changes
like a wedding ritual. With the beginning of the process of Westernization of the East, most wedding
ceremonies began to be carried out according to European traditions: the bride puts on her wedding dress
a dress (it can be not only white, but also other colors) and a veil, and the groom - a tuxedo
or a beautiful wedding suit. As a result traditional wedding has become rare, although
some of its elements have become part of the modern wedding ritual.
However, in the last decade there has been a tendency to return to traditional wedding
ritual in China, Japan and Korea. Some newlyweds prefer to spend

not only the day, but even the hour of their birth). In the event that the fortuneteller's conclusion
was negative, the wedding might not take place.
When permission for the wedding was given and the date was set, the departure ceremony was performed

from China: the face was thickly covered with whitewash and blush was applied, and a “cloud” hairstyle was done.
Great importance was attached to the bride's face: it should not particularly express the bride's feelings.
However, the bride's outfit had some differences: in China, the bride's clothing was short

colors, and in Korea the bride wore a red silk skirt and jacket olive color and purple
robe.
During a wedding ceremony in China, the bride moved to her husband's house in a special
red palanquin, which the groom sent for her. She was accompanied by a wedding procession.
About halfway through the journey, the ceremony of “handing over” the bride to the groom’s people took place, after
why the bride's people returned home. Upon arrival, the bride and groom walked to the family altar
and made four bows to the ground: to the spirits of Heaven and Earth, to the Sun and Moon, to the sovereign,
the elements of water and earth and, finally, the ancestors of the groom. Then the bride and groom bowed to each other.
The ritual of worship of Heaven and Earth was considered an official notification of the marriage.
In Japan, weddings took place in a temple. At the beginning of the ceremony, a purification ceremony was performed,
then the bride and groom accepted cups of sake from each other, drinking three from each
pharynx. After the exchange ritual wedding rings the bride and groom brought gifts to the deity
temple. The ceremony ended with an oath of fidelity to her husband and family, solemnly pronounced
the bride in the presence of relatives.
In Korea wedding ceremony could be performed both in the bride's house and in the groom's house.
On the wedding day, the groom handed the bride's parents a wooden duck, wrapped, except
with his head in a red scarf. The wild duck was considered a symbol of marital fidelity, and the red
the color of the scarf is a sign of joy. After this, the bride and groom approached the established place
