Ok now I really need help......

[Guest guest]

I have just been invited to an Indian wedding at the temple near me, I

do not have any dressy clothes so I will have to buy something-what is

appropriate for this. I do not know the people getting married, a friend

of mine was invited, as he knew i would love to go so he is bringing me

as his date-PLEASE give me advice as what to wear/buy. It is in the end

of this month. Also what is an appropriate wedding gift for this

occasion? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, thank you Keri

Namaste Keri,

 

Just wear what you feel comfortable in, that looks nice. There isn't

any need to wear a sari or kameez style clothing for the occasion.

But let your intuition decide. Adorn yourself with some jewelry too.

 

For a wedding gift, can your friend ask the family what would be

appropriate or what the couple would like?

 

Its is not easy to answer this question as there are factors that

need to be taken into consideration such as: family background,

caste, whether they are from North or South India, to what extent are

they're traditional after living in the West for x-amount of time;

are they first, second or third generation, etc. etc.

 

Your friend who is a friend of the family, would be the best person

to advise you as he is taking you to the auspicious occasion.

 

Ommmmmm,

Sy
