Wedding

A wedding is the ceremony in which two people are united in marriage or a similar institution. Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and social classes. Generally, the wedding is divided into three parts – pre wedding, wedding and post wedding. Rituals like ‘Haldi’, ‘Mehandi’ ‘Sangeet’ and ‘Tilak’ are pre wedding rituals. Before the wedding, the to-be bride and the groom’s families visit each other and exchange costly gifts to each other along with sweets, fruits and dry fruits. The pre-wedding ceremonies are followed by the main day wedding ceremony, when the nuptial knots of the bride and the bridegroom are tied. The bride and the bridegroom take seven steps around the fire, vowing devotion and love to each other and agreeing to take care of each other in all circumstances.
