Signature Grand: Bela and Khurrum’s Wedding part 2 | Weddings

May 19, 2010

accentHere’s part 2 from Bela and Khurrum’s wedding extravaganza! There’s still one more event after this..so stay tuned!

As much as I love the portraits and getting ready shots..I also love all the ceremonial stuff too at weddings, like the ring exchange, the entrances, the cake cutting and especially the ‘Joota Chupai’ (translated means, Hiding of the shoes). So it’s tradition that the sisters and friends of the bride hide the grooms shoe and demand money in exchange…the girls don’t give back the shoe until the groom pays up! There are a lot of laughs and jokes and of course a lot of money ;)

The evening always ends on a teary note though, as the bride leaves her family to join her husband’s family…you may have noticed how the farewell’s are full of tears…yes everyone is overjoyed because of all the festivities and the coming together of the two families..but at the same time, it’s a hard time for the bride to ‘leave’ her parents and become a part of the new family.
