  • On this World Wide Wed episode, best friends Sonya and Harsh come from two different regions of India, so when it came to their wedding, they combined the cultures of Harsh's southern region Andhra Pradesh and Sonya's northern Punjabi background. The resulting 72-hour celebration is the stuff of Bollywood dreams, starting with the Sangeet, a festive banquet-turned-talent show, and ending in an intimate, ornate ceremony. Watch as the bride and groom honor traditions (hint: there's no final kiss) with some modern flair.
    ABOUT SERIES
    Ever wonder why we get married the way we do? We decided to attend the weddings of 5 very different couples to understand culture and traditions around the globe. Stay tuned every Saturday at 11am for our new series World Wide Wed.

      @vegan chick I think you don't have much information well , if you search vegetarian countries India is I think on the number one ! Shahi paneer , dal makhani , masala dosa , ladoo the list goes on forever ( vegetarian foods ) are not as popular in the west as the chicken dishes and that's not our fault . Pure vegetarians (traditionally )in India don't eat onions and garlic including all the meats , eggs and milk so you just don't know and did not try to know . I am myself a vegetarian but calling other people's food "poop" and bashing them for their food choices is not right ( though I hate non vegetarian diet but still ) .

    Apparently as a child, before I even understood race, I was obsessed with Indian women. Mom tells me that as a toddler, we lived in an area with a very high population of Indian and travelor people. And the Indian women often dressed in traditional garb. I would get so excited to see them and wander off from my mom and tell them how beautiful they were and how beautiful their clothes were and I'd ask if I could touch their hair and clothes because it was so new and exciting. They almost always said yes. And even though I don't remember my life as a two year old, those experiences stuck with me. They really shaped a lot of my experiences as I grew up. I dressed up as an Indian princess from one of my favorite books for a book report. I got a diversity scholarship to college. I've felt so much kindness from these immigrants and daughters of immigrants. The only thing I remember is the way that some of the women's dresses felt and jingled in my hands and that they touched my hair and smiled at me. I felt very loved and respected. I've been fortunate to meet a lot of amazing people who have somehow maintained the impossible balance between assimilation and maintaining their culture heritage. Thank you to all of those anonymous women that nurtured me before I could even understand. I also am grateful to all of the black ladies and old ladies who felt comfortable to touch my hair (with permission) and tell me I was beautiful despite me not having traditional white textured hair. It made me feel special and formed a huge part of my identity. Just... Thank you. I wish I knew who you were so I could tell you how much it meant to me

      Indian culture has become stale and stinking. These traditions are so deep rooted that Indians are unable to break out of larger issues such as caste system, inter religion weddings. Culture should be adaptive not restrict a person to live the life they want. This is all just shock and awe for the foreigners and they don't even live in India, they are doing it all living in the USA. So HUGE difference. If this wedding was done in India, imagine the number of naysayers and people shaking their heads in disbelief as to how a Punjabi girl chose to marry a Telugu guy, it would be an abomination.

    I am not Hindu, but I have a great admiration for their culture, I been wishing to learn the language, I know they have at least 50 but still, so I can connect in a new level with the culture, I found weddings to be one of the most pure and truetful ways of showing culture to others, and East Asian weddings are some of the most amazing and beautiful I had ever had the pleasure to watch, even tho it would be almost impossible for me to witness one of them in person

      whats more interesting is the main wedding ceremony has been mostly unchanged since about 3000 years ago. its almost like timemachine to the past. even the mantras during the wedding were uttered in the same way as they did 3000 years ago. In a language that modern Indians don't understand - sanskrit. to look for the ancient markers are use of fire (fire is eternal witness to the wedding), grains, gifts, vermilion powder on the woman's forehead and a chain around her neck. Use of the colour red that denotes fertility. green that denotes prosperity. in ancient times the bride used to get grains or seeds to plant in the husbands fields to enrich the food of the adopted family, or to bring her taste and tradition into the new family - she would also bring her chosen god to add to the family pantheon. of course, the horse. Ancient Indians revered the horse - but that's a course in the Aryan society. not the Hitler kinds but Iranian and indian Aryans.
      Clearly this wasn't a traditional wedding ceremony, this is with modern twists and a mix of south indian and north indian wedding. The jewellery wouldn't have been as ornate neither the dress, i mean 3000 years ago the level of craftsmanship might be underdeveloped. But then Indians have been decorating them selves with jewellery and textile since ancient times. I mean according to the roman pliny the elder, Rome's coffers ran dry because the royalty and women of Rome couldn't get enough of indian textiles.
      hope that gives you some more information on the ceremony. Bollywood didn't exist so i guess dance is a modern inclusion. ha ha

    How can you miss the phere and the vidai?
    Vidai is very much emotional so when the ceremony ends and the bride finally leaves her house and her family and her Ma and Papa, there is usually a lot of crying.
    Phere is what the groom and bride have to take 7 revolutions around a sacred fireplace called Mandap this means their bond will not break even in 7 births or ages.
