Type of Indian wedding - (2)
#kashmiri
On the wedding day, ‘Diugun’ is performed (like the haldi ceremony). At the arrival of the groom and his family, the fathers of the couple exchange nutmeg as a symbol of their friendship. Kashmiri weddings are very similar to Hindu marriages.
Nikaah, in Islam, is read by two priests. After the consent of the groom and the bride, nikhanaama is signed. Then khubtah, a religious dialogue, is recited. Afterwards, a mirror is placed between the couple, where they see each other for the first time.
The bride arrives at the venue with her father and is received by the groom’s best man with flowers. The priest reads the psalms and the couple take their vows and sign on a register. The reception is a great affair in Christian weddings
