- 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.

What are some wedding traditions in your culture? Comment below❤️
Yeah i am an Indian and i am so proud of india and its traditions especially weddings trust me its full of fun
Yeppe i am so glad that u decided to make a video on this love u
You should do Nigerian weddings next!!!
Refinery29 I am Mauritian but my ancestors are from india, so we do practice the south Indian culture(Andhra Pradesh) for the wedding and all other prayers. Pretty much Mauritius is multicultural
+elisaden Yay! So glad you watched!
In Canada, it is traditional to cram every wedding into a short 8 week-long period in the summer so nobody freezes to death haha
“I wanted an elephant”.
“And they’re legal in New Jersey, apparently”.
*Everything is legal in New Jersey*
YESSS!! hamilfans!
hamiltonnnn
take my elephants, be smart son
AYYEEEE FELLOW HAM FAN!!
Even the illegal stuff
I’m an Indian and have been to hundreds of these weddings.. *_why am I watching this?_* 😂
can't get enough of awesome weddings
aishwarya rawat me too,bro. Me too.
Lol same I have been to thousands of such XD
Bruttal calm down jesus christ
me too dude lol
by north India, she means only Punjabi traditions. 😂
By South Indian, he means only Telugu culture/traditions.
This video was a generalisation. Because there’s no one single wedding that represents India.
*Every state in India have a totally different culture, language and traditions.*
xzg13 I don’t even get why the horse was there though because it’s not necessary to have it. They were just being extra.
@@Santhuri24
isn't that a thing in North indian weddings tho? cuz i have seen it a lot
xzg13 It was kind of think meant to portray like wealth but it’s really not a necessity.
@@Santhuri24 i think,in the past,the groom actually arrived on a horse (in families who had horses) else just walked if the bride was nearby,or by bullock cart. Maharajas came on elephant. Later people made it in to a tradition, n now people do it coz it looks cool. They go for the elephant of they want the regal look.
Not every south Indian wedding traditions are Telugu 😑
I'm Indian and I dont want a husband I just want a wedding 🤣😭
Can understand 😆😆😆
I'm the opposite 😅 unless it's arranged
Lmao then what’s the point of the wedding, the whole things surrounding the couple.
She needs to be the centre of attraction...!.
Ikr
Sometimes I'm like I'm not getting married
And next moment I'm planing the dress code for my wedding 😂😂😂
This is what wedding of super rich Indians look like!
Crazy rich Asians part 2
Nah it's every Hindu wedding lol
Not really
Nope
Nah, see Isha Ambani's wedding.
Sonya's family home is the size of my school LOL
Kyris Marie they're definitely wealthy! At 4:16 the man helping her get ready is Mickey Contractor! He's a famous MAC makeup artist to Bollywood celebrities. Their families must be loaded to have been able to afford his services!
- - They’re loaded, for sure! Houses in Alpine NJ usually don’t dip below $3 million! The wedding costs must have been enormous, as well as the dowry. I’m not surprised they could afford that MUA 😂 But it was really beautiful nonetheless.
😂 😂 😂
Lol right!?! 😁
@@anonbitch4963 I doubt anyone pays dowries in love marriages, which this one clearly is. Besides, I don't think many educated families marry their daughters off to grooms who demand a dowry nowadays. And if they do, what was even the point of educating your daughter 🤦🏻♀️
No joke Indian womens jewellery and accessories are soo gorgeous
I don't know why but even the poor also have to have gold if it's a wedding
@@bhumikasharma2732 that's glamorous to hear ✨
@@jmdoromal1288 nope. The poor will whine about how they can't pay for their daughters education but have the money to force her to a wedding and get raped and have kids
@@reisakumastan1455 idk it's just people's mindset that being single until growing old is bad too afraid being left out concept I have seen a docu in India that girls or women treated bad specially widowed I hope people in India see women very important and valued
@@reisakumastan1455 yeah true im not indian im bangladeshi but girls in india and south india arent treated that good but times are changing they are protesting in bangladesh right now about rape it makes me happy to see that our generation is bringing out the best in the world :)
They didn't show the most important part of any Hindu wedding that is phere... The couple revolves around the fire 7 times...and this signifies that they would be husband and wife for next 7 rebirths/ages......
Not all Hindus do Agni k 7 phere
Yeah that’s true
they didn't have the mandhi either
In some cultures there are no pheras tbh, like I'm Hindu but in my culture we don't do pheras, there's sindoor, yeah but no pheras
I thought Punjabis were Muslim (Sikhs). By which I mean to say that maybe that's why it wasn't included, since most South Indians are Hindu. Maybe a compromise was met?
*Everyone is at the bar, eating at the buffet and no one's actually watching the couple get married*
That sounds a lot like my fam, i swear.
+melaniebarrientos LOL! :)
Every indian wedding is like that as wedding ceremony lasts 5 to 7 days
Melanie Barrientos idek haven’t gone to anymore I used to always fall asleep but ye I can actually say that punjabis like me do it rlly like ya know we get crazy
The wedding ceremony itself (when the couple is actually getting married) lasts an entire day. Say, it while start around 9PM .. and they would be finally married by morning 6 AM 😂
@@sparks8087 THAT WAS MY COUSIN'S WEDDING THIS YEAR AND I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A REAL INDIAN WEDDING EVEN AS AN INDIAN
I DRANK SO MUCH SOFT DRINKS I GOT DRUNK OFF OF IT
I like how Indians preserve their cultures no matter where they are
When your culture's so damn beautiful, you've just got to
@@tbh-demon9977 I think thats not the thing with the leftish Indian or NRI.
@Shreyaawashere I am not talking about having same ritual,I was talking about believing in "indians has damm beautiful culture" as kajal said.
Why are you so pissed?lol
Don't every other country preserve their culture?
i think evryone should do it, instead people these days fawn over European culture soo much
You know what's even more *insanely* beautiful?
_THE FOOD_
Erza Scarlet I attend most of the wedding just for food
I am not from India and I want to wear a sherwani for my wedding. So beautiful!
@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 ) .
@vegan chick we are the only country who doesn't has meat as a staple in most parts . Even KFC introduced a vegetarian menu for India .
@Sghfretbcopkyzdqjnvsbuei, Twqopygtck thankyou 🙂
I SWEAR, INDIANS KNOW HOW TO PARTYYYYYYY
I see a fellow kpop lover
Hello my fellow kpop fans💜💜
Heh. Tell me about it
i see a nctzen
Yes we know how to😆😆😳but where are u from?
What the hell does her family do for a living?! That house is massive! 😱
in US Indians are one the wealthiest groups
but theres also a lot of us who are struggling...the media doesnt show that side
Lolz its common to have big houses and plus its cheaper to get big houses in NJ for ex a 1 to 2 million dollar house
Many Indians have big houses because aunts, grandparents and other people live in one house
Cause the live in big joint family
7:09 is such a beautiful moment! He didn't even try to get the garland on her. OMG why am I tearing up.
olubunmi olatunji yes it was so beautiful and cute of him. The couple was really cute 😊
because they are completely adorable. Perfectly reasonable :)
nope, he knows the way he wants it to be ;D. My cousin did the same thing at his wedding. He married an Indian woman and they did a (simpler) fusion ceremony. This garland bit was part of it. He literally just stood there as she put the garland on him lol.
@@humanbeing4704 thats just for fun
yes, because he is South Indian HERE in north , grooms friends/brothers pick him up on shoulders and then bride is unable to do it first , and sometimes brides brothers pick the bride up to get it first , its like competetion
@@North_Indian_ Yeah, it's not exactly about getting the upper hand.
An Indian wedding requires like five brothers and six sisters and a dozen cousins
Nicole Lai LOL
Noooooo
Ok cousin part is right but sibling part is wrong bruh
A lot more than just these
Nooooooooooo
Whoever narrated this needs to stop using the word “north Indian” and “South Indian” this is a Punjabi & Telugu wedding.
There is nothing telugu about it either.other than that jilakara bellam ceremony.well i guess wedding's are meant for the bride's satisfaction.
Well please understand that those videos are meant for people to explore other cultures. Punjabi and Telugu means nothing to foreigners, so North and South is way more useful in this context. If it was a video about german weddings and they said it was a mix of Friesisch and Bayrisch traditions, you wouldn't understand, too. But Northern and Southern Germany would explain it better for you.
@@ingupin Yup exactly.
@@ingupin if a foreigner wish to explore our culture.. explore it.. before that please learn.. India is completely diverse.. more diverse than your Europe or America.. North India has diverse languages and cultures.. same if you mention South India.. South India is not same.. we have different languages.. cultures.. even our ritual prayers will be so different.. for foreigners India means just Taj Mahal, Bollywood, Hindi, cows.. no.. NOT ALL! Indians are honesty sick and tired of hearing these stuffs.. instead of complaining that foreigners dont know.. that means nothing.. this means nothing.. go learn, explore, you guys invented phone, computer, internet, google, wikipedia.. all for what??
Get over it
The best wedding food I ever had was at an Indian wedding.
I still think about it today, it was so good! 😋
TheMovieMyLife l off course you do american food is bland and i mean all white black alll of it
When you wanna travel back in time just for the buffet 😂😂😂
TheMovieMyLife
who invited u
yaaaa ... their are so much different variety of food in our wedding that it is difficult to taste all of them only possible if ur are of triple xl size :p
Noura, that is your opinion,however disrespectful. I'm Indian, live in the US and don't think American food is bland at all. Like in India, American food is different based on the location.
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
god , this just made me shed a tear ; this is so lovely
Ronak Choudhary this is adorableee
oh my god i did this all through out pre school and kindergarten! i grew up in a town with so much diversity and my two best friends when i was younger were indian! their mothers were so beautiful and i loves when they would wear traditional clothing and beautiful jewelry ❤️❤️❤️
I'm crying. I love you. You seem like a really nice person. Ahh take care.
aww, that's a beautiful story!!
Indian weddings are so beautiful to look out. So rich in culture, it's so beautiful, everything. American weddings got nothing on this
i heard that , india is popular around the world for their , food and culture, bollywood and the wedding dress . i heard it from other people like 1000 times , that indian wedding dress are so damn beautiful
@P M ❤️
at least you people can flirt with brides maid
we will have 20 eyes staring if we did anything like that
and here I am, an Indian Hindu hoping to get a white wedding :") Wedding gowns are so damn elegant
@@oifelixcomeherebroe3831 Guess the grass is always greener the other side... 😁
"Punjabis are loud and boisterous and you just see them at the bar and buffet not paying attention to the couple that's getting married"
Me: Pretty much, yeah.
Yes Punjabis are Party lovers , even though am not a punjabi but I love Punjabis 😘.. I would love to spend my entire life in Punjab 🤩
Telugu people ki kuda Punjabi's istam .... But Maku kuda party chesukovadam vachu bro ....🙄🙄 .
Malyalis/Mallus too🌴🇮🇳
Am I the only one that cried when I watched this ?? it's such a beautiful wedding ! traditional Indian wedding and you see how much they love each other!
Alejandra Yol
I am Indian loved the fusion of wedding styles north south Indian and also western but without the kiss. My eyes were moist by the end.
You are not alone
I cried too :) remembering the emotions and traditions in my wedding
I totally cried as well!
Girl, I cried through the whole thing. What a beautiful couple who love each other and their families/traditions so much.
This girl really had Mickey Contractor do her makeup & dress her for her wedding 😭😭❤️ GOALS
Abril Mendez lol that’s exactly what I noticed too
I love seeing my culture represented here as something not only beautiful and meaningful, but also relatable. Rather than some strange and exotic third-world ritual. I can't tell you how that warms my heart.
It looks beautiful, it must be wonderful to have such pretty traditions : D
Shin Chan america
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen
@Idk Idk so represent the quintessential privileged amarican youth. Fair enough. Enjoy your entitled life. America(USA) is america today because they made their country not ran away to a better land of opportunities. And we then youth are trying to contribute to make India great again. Thank you. Namaste. Sat Sri Akal.
A.A. do you think it's ok for a couple to have a wedding with your dress and some of the ceremony if they are not Indian. I feel in love with the culture and beauty even as a child.
People this is just a normal Indian wedding.... I was surprised when the comment section was like crazy rich Asians... You guys should really watch the weddings of millionaires in India.
ik right?I have been to some of the millionaires ones and they are a life time experience ngl
Like getting Beyonce to perform a special concert just for your daughter phew...
@@BBakerStreet-ku1gf that was the extreme side...i mean they got beyonce..BEYONCE for a wedding damn...broke me cant relate
Please ask them to watch Ambani's daughter's wedding😂
Well guys this ain't really normal wedding. Offcourse 'normal' is a relative term, but still I wouldn't say it's a common type wedding.
As most of the Indian household can't afford these wedding!!
It's for those Ppl whose household income is at least above 30lk per annum!!
I need Indian friends in my life 😔😩
The culture and traditions are so beautiful 😍
Let's be friends 🙂🙂
thais juliana. Riding animals was the only way of transportation for centuries so idk what ur talking about (also sports like horse riding and polo)
Indian ppl are not jewelry lmao
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.
@@elva136 Well I'm from a conservative Rajput family living in a small town in North India, my sister got married to a punjabi guy with the blessings of our family, there were some relatives who were against it but later on they all agreed, it was the best wedding 😇 So I don't know if you're Indian or not but still you have no rights to call a culture stale and stinking, it is the people who have such mentality not the culture.
im bengali and its SO DIFFERENT. legit marriages differ in every state of india lmao
And that is the beauty of our nation...
Haha ikr I’m Bengali too and it’s soooo different
Yep, i was so confused when i watched Devdas (SRK version) disclaimer: im not Indian and at the time I had only seen the Bollywood version of weddings Punjabi or Nothern style.
@@86upsmaya oh!!
It's completely natural to get confused.😂
Bengali weddings are enchanting too.
'Din Shagna Da' playing in the background on bride's entry is a staple at every single Indian wedding...♥️
That song, idk why, brings tears in my eyes.
@@zerro6961 Ikr!!
And while dancing, Sukhbir's Ishq tera tadpave... wherein the dj mutes the line Oh ho ho ho... because the public itself sings it loud 😁😁😁
@@sonaliahuja1381 you should correct 'Indian' to Punjabi.
@@kumarvikramaditya9636 Kalistani spotted and opinion rejected. now go to your corner. Lmfao 😆😆
I love the fact that they follow their traditional wedding. They are so in love with each other and their vows couldn't have been any better. Wishing them all the happiness in their entire life.
i heard that , india is popular around the world for their , food and culture, bollywood and the wedding dress . i heard it from other people like 1000 times , that indian wedding dress are so damn beautiful
Don't even know these people and I'm straight tearing up watching their wedding
Kali Rossi SAME
When her mom was crying when she was walking i got a huge lump in my throat lol
Same here sis
Do you know that India is a country where every relationship is considered very important. India is considered to be a good society of festivals, culture, love and happiness.Indian people play their relationships very importantly.India is considered as a festival of festivals such as Holi, Diwali, Durga Pooja etc ..... The people of other countries are adopting Indian culture. Not only this, people of other countries are marrying the Indian people and happily living their lives. India is a great gift for this. Sh. The biggest thing is that there is no divorce in India.
By the way your name kali is also one of Indian goddess name
7:34 ''Sonia and Harsh are now seperated'' I had a mini heart attack lol
Don't do that mannnn....
😂😂
no matter how modern the world and times get, i think i would still want a traditional wedding if it was as beautiful as this
Me too.
It is a unique feeling
I'm not even Indian but I love Indian culture, food, & festivities.
*Indians are the the definition of work hard, play hard. very hard-working, smart, studious, but when the time comes, y'all know how to celebrate like crazy*
They missed out the groom's shoes stealing thing
Omg yes!! I go to a wedding to specially see that or take money from jijus
Well, they cant show u the whole 5 day wedding clip.....the video has to short so they had to cut something!
Ya
We don't have that tradition in telugu states
That’s a Sikh Punjabi thing, they’re both Hindu
But this is not an average Indian wedding. These people are pretty rich and therefore the wedding more so over the top and amazing looking than usual.
M.K. True, but Indian families spend a FRACTION of all of the money they’ll ever earn in a lifetime just on weddings.
@@brianl6128 that's true especially if it's a girl's wedding
You know why in older times,many families didn't want daughters in india?? That was because they were afraid that what if they won't be able to arrange a perfect marriage for their daughter so no matter how rich or poor they are,the marriage literally costs A LOT...when a daughter is born in an Indian household,that's the time her dad starts saving money just to have a nice marital future for hee daughter...
@P M if everyone knew that then she wouldn't havd commented that✌
I thought this wedding was not that good coz I have seen sooo much more amazing and well decorated weddings than this
"I wanted an elephant."
"They're legal in New Jersey, apparently."
...
[Hamilton plays in background] Everything is legal in New Jersey.
Hecate Mist I’m so glad they didn’t get the elephant.
I’m not the ONLY ONE who thought that😭😭
Then rename it new charsi!! I won't tell you the meaning of charsi though....
Now THIS is how you celebrate a marriage! It’s a 3 day epic event! I would love to attend something like this it must be so much fun! I loved the first part where they had the Bollywood style dinner and talent show... there was so much color and it was so bright! I love the beautiful Fabrics used in this type of clothing ❤️ simply amazing. The whole weekend was beautiful. Congratulations to the bride and groom and to each of their respective families!! Thank you for sharing your wedding with us!
i heard that , india is popular around the world for their , food and culture, bollywood and the wedding dress . i heard it from other people like 1000 times , that indian wedding dress are so damn beautiful
It can extend for a week or so if you go completely traditional
An Indian weeding is a huge affair we absolutely go all out and love to celebrate.
i once went to an indian weddinb in indonesia
Indian weddings are a week long the wedding shown here is quite short.....we have many traditions it's almost like a festival...!!
i wish i was from such a beautiful and meaningful culture
well, where ya from
Lily mb I’m Pakistani we have a week long weddings where you wear painful shoes for 17 hrs and sometimes you wake up at 7 or 6 but on some days you wake up at 3:00 AM and you’re running around up to 18 hrs for the short days and for the long days 22 hrs so idk if you want to come to one but the food is really good and if you’re first cousins,brothers or sister and parents you get to wear expensive kammez (what’s he’s wearing) some of us wear 300 pound ones and the bride is up to 30000 pounds and then at the end of the whole week the mother the father the whole family cries because apparently they’ll never see them again and all us young people just face palm our self like bruh you live 10 mins away
same
Lily mb you can be a part of it obviously
Aww,thx !!:)
Oh my lord,you indians out there(including me) KNOW the song,THE song,when the bride enters,ITS THE SAME EMOTIONAL SONG...I was like,shit this is the same bloody song,and I wasnt expecting it,that means its the TRUE Indian wedding!!!
Yashvika Armyy din shagna da
lol true punjabi wedding you mean.
Supria Kumar yes wahiiiii
*스* tru just realized im punjabi😹
omg an indian army!! i am punjabi too!
I was a "bridesmaid" for my Punjabi Hindu friend's wedding; and when I tell you no wedding process I will ever be involved in will ever be as beautiful fun or long as theirs Believe me. Best wedding ever. 3 days of partying. Lol
You have been to Mexican wedding?
Damn American weddings seem to boring/bland compared to all other cultures.
Not only do other cultures have more beautiful ceremonies in comparison but they just seem to MEAN more overall.
Violet Heavensbee nope normal Indian weddings are still this cool. And far more entertaining than American.
Violet Heavensbee
Islamic weddings are very similar but not exactly most indian weddings are like this dont say anything abt our culture if ur not from there
@Violet Heavensbee normal indian wedding are still really grand as compared to a normal Christian wedding because people don't hesitate to sell property or spend thousands and parents of the bride and groom also help a lot to pay off the expenses
Each and every wedding is beautiful in their own way..
These people are rich. Please refer to a middle class Indian wedding. It's literally the epitome of boredom. You come up to the stage after the ceremony, give your gift, have your vegetarian food and move out. No pomp nothing
I love how Indian weddings are so boisterous, fun, and colorful! I cant wait for mine :) Grew up in US but never could imagine myself in white dress lol
In india white dress are worn on funerals🤭🤭🤭
What a cute couple.
+laurae Agreed!
Indian & South Asian weddings are one of the most beautiful & culturally rich events I've ever witnessed. It's amazing how these traditional are truly kept alive.
The most beautiful.
Persians, Egyptians, Parsi, Greece, Rome and every other culture was destroyed and converted but Sanatan (Hinduism) and Dharmic cultures and religions of India fought and are the only ancient culture still alive and blossoming. Many invaders came looted and plundered the most rich region Bharat/India (which had 25% of worlds gdp back then) may it be Christian or barbaric Islam, left us with only 2.5% of worlds gdp after 1000 years of loot. Anyways, India/Bharat kicked them out. Bharat will rise again, and will unfurl its golden wings as it used to, historically. Long live Bharat and her immortal culture.
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
@Diptasree Choudhuri still she can learn Sanskrit Hindi and Tamil
Lots of love to you Dei ❤️
U are Invited to my sister's wedding in advance
Uh india has like 206 languages (including tribal communities languages)
For the ones who have grown up in English country it is very difficult to twist your tongue in the hindi language or any other
So interesting to see the meaning behind the ceremony. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing and many blessings to you in your marriage!!
except the evil eye thing that's an old wives tale that has nothing to do with our culture.
I'm Indian and I literally can't wait till my wedding lmfao
Same I’m sitting here imagining everything about my wedding and I’m 14 and extremely single but I can’t wait cause it’s gonna be awesome
@@crtzy9626
I'm well past my teens now. Please consider my unsolicited piece of advice.
You can always hope for the best but never assume all good will happen to everyone. Marriage is not a simple thing and two individuals take part in it not for the ceremony but for there's so much to it about the happiness and hardships in life . Please don't get mislead by glitter and shine.
Choosing the right partner is more important than these temporary three day pomp and show. However I'm not against these ceremonies, they are part of culture for thousands of years. Hope all your wishes come true. Grow well..
@Shivu anir
What if he's not Indian? Is there a compulsion? What's the rationality behind your suggestion, if such thing exists in your mind!?
@@matchbox1275 Who can explain these words to stuck up little privileged Indian girls who daydream about weddings and their only goal in their life is to wear that lehenga that Kareena Kapoor wore? I don't know how I was raised but I NEVER daydreamed about weddings, I dreamed about goals like owning my house, learning a new skill, becoming a respectable person in the society. I have a boyfriend and we both are OKAY with having just 30 people in our "wedding". I don't know how I got this maturity but I guess I have seen enough examples of unhappy couples that I was able to look past the BULLSHIT of these 3 day ceremonies and pomp and show that at the end of the day, it's the person who you choose to share your life with is what matters and not all these extravagant materialistic things. Indian girls are immature and they only get a reality check after their weddings. :)
@@elva136
Most of the today's girls get maturity about these things by the time they are 24 or 25.
.
So it's going to be fine in the coming generations.
i’m brazilian and indian weddings look so awesome, to me indians really know how to celebrate love!
That's why we have over 1.3 B people here lol
Indian weddings are the best.
Not only this wedding insanely beautiful, this couple is insanely beautiful! They look magical! 🔮
i heard that , india is popular around the world for their , food and culture, bollywood and the wedding dress . i heard it from other people like 1000 times , that indian wedding dress are so damn beautiful
Ohh such a beautiful culture 😍😍 Now I really want to go to India and get to know more about your culture. Greetings from Colombia!
+carolond Hello and thank you for watching!!
You are welcome to India.
Do Come:)
You are always welcome sister😊
Carolond please visit us after like 10 years bc I tell you,you won’t be able to tolerate all the judgmental stares😂 No i mean seriously,I’m an Indian and trust me i know how these people work. Funny how just by watching this one video everyone from the other side of the world is interested in our culture! This was a really lavish and what we call a “modern” Indian wedding. Nothing like what we really have here. xx
My sister in law lives in India with his indian husband, she says that mostly in India if they had wedding they celebrated it like almost a month or two 😅 🤔
this is literally incredible compared to american weddings. i need to make some more indian friends!!!
As a Punjabi I can assure you that is literally how our weddings are. Full of music,dancing and of course lots of free food! 😂😂❤
Please make this a continuous series! It was so interesting.
+sophiaholmes Will do!
could you look at other cultures, like African weddings? that would be awesome
You want to know what happened after that ? No I think you don't 😂
Do you know that India is a country where every relationship is considered very important. India is considered to be a good society of festivals, culture, love and happiness.Indian people play their relationships very importantly.India is considered as a festival of festivals such as Holi, Diwali, Durga Pooja etc ..... The people of other countries are adopting Indian culture. Not only this, people of other countries are marrying the Indian people and happily living their lives. India is a great gift for this. Sh. The biggest thing is that there is no divorce in India.
@@pritsingh9766 She meant about continuing wedding series more from Indian and other parts of the world, stop dragging same old 3rd grade joke. 😀
I've been in an Indian wedding and oh boy it was AWESOME! It was 3 days and I was so tired after all of it but it was so fun!
Indian culture is sooo beautiful. I absolutely love how the women dress. ❤️
Indian culture is soo pretty, I remember my friend always telling me about her culture and how beautiful her wedding would be.
I love indian culture so much. Everything is so beautiful and pure, and it's only a plus that their food is amazing
Cynthia aweeee thanks some days I’m so happy I’m apart of my culture cause it is amazing
@vegan chick stfu hater
@vegan chick 🙄 you have commented the same shit in every reply
@vegan chick your probably from Pakistan
@vegan chick what is your problem?
India is full of vegetarians and vegans but they r not annoying like you..
Plus the animals are treated with love and respect nobody is sacrificing them or anything.. The horse is okay its not dying because a 90-100 kg person rode it a few meters..
Get a life, vegans have such a small world and brain.. God help them.
My brother had his wedding on February, we had a big fat Indian wedding and it was worth it. We are middle class people we rarely splurge so once in a lifetime splurge is worth it
And I thought you are korean

Hindu wedding/Vedic Vivaah sanskaar is undoubtedly best wedding ceremony in this world... Other cultures around India have adopted Haldi ceremony, Heena rituals etc. taking inspiration from Hindu weddings...
I just want to say, this has to be the most beautiful ceremony I’ve ever watched. In my opinion, the culture and religious beliefs are so much more appreciated than western marriages. Blessings to you both!
This is so beautiful, its nice to see other cultures explained, that's how we live and learn
One of the most important Indian traditions- a bride can't walk down the aisle if the background music isn't din shagna da 😂😂
they look like a wonderful couple. the husband just looks like a super warm guy and the wife is beautiful and intelligent and kind. my heart is bursting with joy for people I dont even know.
I’m a bridesmaid at a half British half Indian wedding. The bride was describing what we will be doing and I sounded really interesting and exciting so I thought I would do some research
This is ridiculously beautiful. It looks like so much fun. And they’re both so attractive.
"Go from my village, the house next door. To this village , right here to find my bride" 😂😂😂
4:34 the brown guy on the left OMG! ❤️
Wth? I am Indian and I never been to such a grand wedding😂😂. (Its could also be because North Indian weddings are really extravagant)
Yup they are
are you Kashmiri?
Belieeevvvee me I live in Punjab and I can attest to that . We go on till freaking 6 in the morning. Everybody is drunk,laughing,dancing and eating .
I'm Punjabi and I approve of this message
@@Srishti_Kaur I am dehlite and it's the exact same here
This was so beautiful! I almost cried when the bride came down the aisle under the Chaardar that was made from her mother's wedding sari. That was EVERYTHING.
Me as well, it was u expected because I am indian and I knew this but the narrator just saying it made me tear up maybe in realization that the same is going to happen for me one day as well, hopefully😅
Indian weddings have got to be my favorite. I've been to two of them in my life and they are the most beautiful weddings I've been to.
I love when a wedding is also about a culture that is core and actually meaningful to the family. They're lucky to have been raised so deeply in their culture!
Did he just dare to kiss her in the mandap 😂😂
Lmao Fr I was surprised he plays too much
Dudes got guts
😂😂
I was like howw???
Yup😂😂didn't noticed. I rewatched after reading ur comment
Indian clothes are so beautiful. What a great couple - they look adorable together. I wish them a long, happy life together.
Dont worry hindu divorce rate only 0.21%
Hindu divorce rate lowest in the world
Tears running down my face. Such meaningful, beautiful tradition still left somewhere in the world. The way they support and celebrate family is wonderful and to be envied. I wish I was a part of this. I would carry it on
I cried like a bitch when he let her put the garland on first!!
Well, it's supposed to be like that actually
Um, that's how it's supposed to be actually. Putting the Garland around your future spouse's neck means you've chosen them. It's the woman who chooses the man and he follows suit.
absolutely insanely beautiful .. the culture and history within the entire wedding party ceremony was absolutely beautiful breathtaking.
Omg that was Mickey Contractor at 4.17! This was a big fat Indian wedding indeed! 😝
omg me too! i was like y'all hired mickey?! this better not end in a divorce
Yesssss
i noticed that too! whoaaa
They seem really rich...am broke af
Wealth isn't everything.
Meiji I am ugly af too. So no love and no money sighs
Money won't make you happy... Love is everywhere, just look around you.
LMAO
You are laughing but deep down inside you know that it's true.
This feels so much more beautiful, sacred and more meaningful than so many modern weddings I've seen. I LOVE the mother's wedding sari in the canopy.
The beauty of this culture💕
i heard that , india is popular around the world for their , food and culture, bollywood and the wedding dress . i heard it from other people like 1000 times , that indian wedding dress are so damn beautiful
It is beautiful but Hindu weddings don't have to be this elaborate to be beautiful. I find it is the simplicity in Hindu weddings and the traditional meanings within the Hindu wedding rituals that make it beautiful. Start: 5:57
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
I love Indian culture ❤ This video is beautiful! 😊❤
Hindu culture
@My World not really
@Pavan Kumar Ah yes, the backward religio-natonalism going on there right now, I was forgetting. Poor India. I always respected you for having a secular constitution etc. So sad.
@Pavan Kumar -_-
I’m Bengali and *woah*
A traditional south Asian wedding?
That’s gonna take a few days, buddy.
"Do they take amazon giftcards?"
"They will take amazon giftcards."
Easily pleased family is best family.
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.
Believe me Indian weddings are like a festival and they are very very BEAUTIFUL.
Bhavika agarwal ummm crying for the sake of crying is overrated. They were probably heading back to their own house.
I'm wondering too why there weren't any 'phere'.
The 7 pheras are 7 promises given by the bride and groom to each other with fire as witness.
I'm from Andhra Pradesh we don't have phere in our weddings
@@janvik2056 really?
The bride is sooo pretty ♥️
"Sonya's Family Home" WOOOOW it's soooo huge! Beautiful wedding you guys, congratulations!!
This wedding was so beautiful and emotional when she walked down😭 she looked gorgeous in the lehenga and they seem to be such a happy couple😍 I’m glad they’re keeping their culture alive❤️
There are 1 billion hindus
And this is how our wedding is... 😂✌
That's one lavish wedding but beautiful! love how colorful it is.
Can her family adopt me?? Haha

Umm... are you by chance, blind?
@@Itsamemario662 Pardon? What do you mean by, "Are you blind?" Also I like your Kirishima profile picture.
@@cosmiclatte8716 firstly what do you mean by crazy rich asians? Are you calling these ppl who are clearly indians, asians. Also thanks its nice to see a bnha fan ^v^
@@Itsamemario662 The U.S. Census Bureau, Federal Government and State Goverment collection agencies include India and the entire Indian Subcontinent (including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sir Lanka, Nepal, ect.)in the Asian racial category. Indians also identify as Asian or South Asian to be specific becuase India is literally part of Asia. If you Google Asia, India is included in all the maps as South Asia. Just Google it! Hope this helps! ^w^

Nigerians are colorful and festive! The family of the bride and groom usually have a "uniform" yet unique traditional wear. It's so beautiful. I've always wondered how a family would go about combining a Nigerian and Indian wedding for example
AzureAnie there’s this channel called The Arjies where there’s a Bengali wife and Migerian husband so you can see it there

I have a question. Is a red Hanbok associated with marrige
HoodietheProxy 857 no not really, but normally unmarried women don't wear red, royals wear red. Traditional wedding hanbok is red and black and white with pattern.
i am from india ! and i can tell you that its not just two but you can find a 100 types of wedding ceremonies. all different, every religion and state has their own way of traditions and wedding ceremonies !
I’ve always had such an appreciation for Indian culture, I love how intricate and beautiful this ceremony is ❤️
this is such a beautiful culture beyond words. i wish i had just an ounce of what they have. to provide meaning to things, to have family be such an integral part. i will always envy such rich and deep rooted cultures.
i need more of these! These cultures are sweet and beautiful! So much meaning, so deep and special!
You know it’s a North Indian wedding when Din Shagna Da plays as the bride enters 😂
