    Have you dreamed of how you will get married? Or have you had a very fancy/simple wedding ceremony?
    Today, I'm invited to attend a Tibetan traditional wedding ceremony, which was an arranged marriage. The bride and groom never met each other before, and their parents are all nomads, who settled this marriage during the last nomadic season.
    The village is my hometown, and the bride is my female cousin, just 21 years old. But it's the common age to get married in a nomadic Tibetan family.
    Enjoy this video for how the Tibetan village having a traditional wedding ceremony, and leave your comments about how you held or will hold your wedding?
    The traditional Tibetan wedding ceremony consists of two days.
    On the first day, the ceremony was held at the bride’s home. The local villagers came to bless the bride and said goodbye to her because after that day the bride would leave her maternal home and started a new life. Two of the groom’s family members came to pick up the bride from her in-laws’ house instead of the groom.
    The next day, the representatives of the groom’s family took the bride to the groom’s home. It was also on that day that the bride met her husband for the first time.
    Not fancy but REAL! Just see the complete record of the two-day Tibetan ceremony now.

    The bride is beautiful. I couldn't imagine getting married and meeting the groom all in the same day. Then leaving your mother and moving to a new village. That is a lot of change. I was so sad when my daughter got married, and I realized she wasn't coming home. Mothers everywhere must feel the same.

    We pray to God to richly bless this beautiful couple with money children, love, joy, peace and understanding. Hubby love and honour your wife and dear wife also respect and love your husband.

      Ha ha. Typical silly western attitude. Marriage life? It is an arranged marriage. The "happiness" of the spouses is not a consideration. At all. Besides the most important part was not mentioned. Tibetans just like the other people indigenous to the Himalayas region practice Polyandry. Google it. That is where a woman has multiple husbands. She is married to the oldest brother in the ceremony but in actuality she becomes the wife all all the brothers at the same time. I don't judge them. That's just how it works over there.

The father of the bride spoke to my dad to arrange my wedding with his son. My dad was so shocked because we as teen never meant to be a couple. Just friends. My dad declined the offer because he wasn’t informed by me or nothing. So dad stopped me from getting into an arranged wedding. Thanks for posting this family event.

    Even though I live so so far from Tibet and my culture so very different, watching this reminds me how alike we are as people! As humans we can all relate to the happiness of gathering with family to celebrate a wedding, the 2 families getting to know each other and wishing well to the new couple and their life together, the bride being nervous and sharing emotional moments with her parents, the work of all the preparations of food, clothing and decorations, the cousins helping the bride get dressed, having ones religious traditions/beliefs represented....(the giving of gifts and recording them is something we do in the southern USA as well!) Although your beautiful sister had no idea where she was going or who she would marry...I would imagine most new brides share the nervousness and anxiety of leaving their home and family to start a new life with her husband! This video was 2 years ago and I am so curious how she and her new family are doing today?? I hope you can do another video one day showing how she is doing!

    First time seeing a Tibetan marriage, in Australia i have met a beautiful couple & he took my friend Georgia's Surname, Georgia taught English in Tibet, such a sweet couple. However they met & fell in Love & moved to Australia, so not arranged. I have to admit i cried with The Mother, my heart would be sad too to see my little girl leaving. I was reminded how similar in many ways the Native American Indians are to Tibetan People, i love the colors in this wedding. I am learning because i thought Tibetans were vegetarian but after watching Methok's Story, i was taken back, i now know i know nothing hehe. I will learn, Thank You for sharing, Your Sister would be 6 months into marriage now, i wish her Peace, She looked very scared understandably. Om Shanti 🙏

      Well unfortunately this is the case in many chinese provinces some greedy parents take it to the next level, bride price can go to hundred thousands to some case million when it comes to a rich guy, added everything from house, vehicle and cash gift. Yes it is not uncommon for some of northern families asking much thesedays, they really do mean it seriously sometimes. Although if the guy is poor, he can discuss to downgrade that price according to his financial capability, but this is usually the part where a lot of face culture is exchanged tensely and lot of acting poor to be consistent with the said financial description is needed, lol. Gosh i will be honest with u, for some of these people and i am not on a shortage of finding them, they really mean to “sell” their own daughter

I have attended several tibetan weddings n this is the first time seeing dowry in tibetan wedding. My cousin sister had a wedding few years ago n she didn’t have dowry. All she had was the gift frm ppl who came to the wedding n obviously special gift frm her parents n families as a memories( esp mum’s jewellery, precious symbolic family gift).gift frm the bride is not a demand frm groom family. It’s just the way to sent her daughter away with no empty hand.

You have a great storytelling eye and as the conduit to the subject, a most valuable touch of welcoming minimalism. You showed your affection and respect but did not insert yourself excessively. Very well done. What struck me the most was that in the shots near windows or when leaving the buildings, when the outdoors came into the frame, the overpowering beauty of the mountains outside were shocking and powerful - that this is the everyday background, reality and complete environment to these peoples' lives.
