I’m an Indian who lives in the US, and I’m only a teen. Thanks for explaining my culture’s weddings, it was really helpful! :)
me too 😭 i don’t want to be clueless when i’m getting married
I'm getting tought about my own culture by a white guy 😭💀
@@kobra5490 there you go haha
I'm an Indian and I'm really impressed with the way you have explained our culture so perfectly❤️❤️
glad you found it useful
Very helpful! I'm American and my soon-to-be husband is Indian. This video was helpful for me!
I'm happy to hear it helped. Congrats on your upcoming wedding.
omg ur here too!!
I am an Indian. I appreciate this mere clip of you including everything. Much much appreciated 🙏🏻😊
Glad to know you found it useful Shivani
These weddings look so amazing. I wish I could have an Indian wedding one day, but I’m not Indian 😢
I am Puerto Rican who is very much interested in the Indian culture, especially since I am always being mistaken as Indian. I have started watching the Hindi and Punjabi movies and have been trying to learn the language. This explanation is great. But as a photographer, these Shots are FABULOUS. Beautiful. Namaste.
Thank you so much Ada for the nice comment.
Read being different by Rajiv Malhotra on its like crash course on indian civilisation aspects
Im american, my best friend is getting married in india the end of next month. Pretty excited and thanks for breaking it down.
The Indian culture sooooo beautiful the wedding traditions and customs are just gorgeous. I would love to be able to attend a wedding like this. Gorgeous
Indeed very beautiful
I love how they truly make the bride soooo beautiful
Indeed they are
I have photographed many weddings in my lifetime, I’ve never done an Indian wedding. I was approached for an Indian wedding once, and more than willing to take it, I wanted to be that photographer who was open to anyone and everyone. Until I realized that it was more than one event, and I wasn’t able to schedule it in. Needless to say, she went with someone else.
next time then. Good luck
I'm going to get married in India and had no clue what's ahead of me.. Thanks so much for this brief explanation!
Those eyes! Superbly captured!!!
Fern Trujillo thank you man
Thanks for the explanation. The photos are just stunning!!!😍😍😍
So helpful. Thanks for doing this!
Great video and awesome shots makes me even more pumped for some Indian weddings!!
Glad you enjoyed it guys!
Thanks for this video! Attending my first Indian wedding this year :)
I appreciate this is my first Hindi wedding and my culture is new to me as a multicultural Indian I love finding out information like this. Thank you!
Awesome pics! and really intersting culture !
Thanks for appreciating the Indian culture
As an Indian-American, thanks! I was born and raised pretty non-traditionally here and I only ever attended like one wedding back in India when I was 11, so its nice to get a feel for how it looks and works since I mainly only remember the main ceremony
I am a non indian bride to be. Thank you for an interesting, informative, fun to watch, short and sweet video of what to expect of an indian wedding. 🙏
Can’t wait to be part of this colorful wedding 😊 I see why some are several days not sure what guests will do the whole day, but your info helps thank you 🙏🏼
I'm glad to hear you found it useful
tbh you will have a lot of guests of course that stay for every moment of the events and then you will have just as many guest who will show up for a few hours and then leave during. When we did our Haldi ceremony, were on our stage for hours. Then we got to join in on the dancing. Of course when another family member arrived we were back on the stage again for them to smear the haldi (turmeric) paste on us. You will truly love it! There are so many meaning behind very little item. Wait until the marriage ceremony when you dump rice on each others heads. lol We had some fun small traditional games we did during ours.
For Sangeet, both bride and groom side (friends,family) has to prepare dance numbers. On Mehendi you get Mehndi, For Haldi, you smear Haldi on the bride and groom and spend the rest of the time getting ready, eating and recharging.
U did an excellent narration of an Indian wedding
Thanks for loving my culture 💕...n i appreciate your way of explaining
my pleasure
Perfect!! I needed this! Need to show this to my non Indian friends coming for my wedding
I think you missed something called a haldi ,in which the bride undergoes a traditional facial treatment with turmeric sandal and milk
Yup, I did. We have covered that many times. Lots of traditions for sure.
i love this tradition its lovely
Wow is an excellent video I could learn a lot.
Indian weddings are so lengthy bcs its a stage of life where the being took thousands of reincarnations and at the end become a human being so its a huge celebration moment like marriage which is said to be last for next 7 lifes ❤
Why am i watching this. I knew it already. BTW nice video
Proud to be indian
Oh my, thanks so much. I have my first Indian wedding to do in a couple of weeks. A doctor, no wedding coordinator, to be held at a pond then the reception in the evening. Wish me luck.
Thank you so much for this video, the one our teacher gave us for our assignment was terrible and did not explain anything. So I did some further research and found this extremely high quality video. Thank you again for making this video so I could actually take notes lol
glad to hear it helped
Ehhh llegue tarde a la fiesta! Love it, so interesante!
Ellie Lopez haha. Mejor tarde que nunca
There's a guy in a horse drawn carriage being led by a marching band in the street behind my hotel in New Delhi... thanks for helping me to understand what is happening!
Hi Alan, love your energy, enthusiasm, and passion for sharing your expertise. I’m an Indian American mom of a daughter who is wanting to get married (and we’re in the process of looking for a suitable boy...yes, an arranged marriage of sorts!)
That’s how I chanced upon your video in my feed. You’ve explained the highlights of the wedding ceremonies very well. However you may want to consider the fact that South Indian weddings are very different from North Indian weddings. Also Destination weddings and intercultural/inter religious marriages have become a big part of current trends (as you’ve mentioned in this video) and that creates a lot of fusion in the marriage ceremonies. One of my Indian cousin’s daughter’s (my niece) recently got married to a Scottish guy who was part Japanese. So they had a church wedding in the UK followed by a Mehendi-Sangeet-simple ritual in India, more as a ‘meet the family’ event and to keep the grandparents happy. Mehendi-Sangeet are more of North Indian wedding components that have become more popular even in the South due to promotion by wedding planners. True South Indian weddings would be more ritual-based with the fire rituals playing a more prominent part. I’m sharing all this more for the sake of your young Indian American channel followers to enhance their own cultural awareness. (And also to know how to explain it all to my daughter! 😊)
Overall you did a great job and I really enjoyed watching what you had to share. Keep up the great work!
❤very nice 👍
Nice one Alain!!
Muhamed Khattab Films thanks man
Thanks!
Thank you for good and perfect explanation 😊😊. Exactly this is the Indian wedding culture/ ceremony. I am an Indian , am watching from india. I really feel proud today......❤️❤️. I got your video through CNBC website.....
What? Can you share a link where this was posted? Thank you.
@@AlainMartinez do you know?? And thanks for viewing my comment. ♥️
Nice 👌
Thank you for loving our culture!
Yes, we do love the South East Asian culture
@@AlainMartinez I’m an Indian American and we have so many Indians living in USA. You should watch Namaste Wahala, on Netflix Bollywood and Nollywood. An Indian guy and an Nigerian girl.
Where do you find music to use in your Indian wedding videos?
❤
WOW!!! Thank you so much for the information and absolutely beautiful work...
I'm glad to hear you found it useful!!
I'll marry an Indian wonderful man, I'm a latina. Where I can learn more about it, please any suggestions. Thank you🙏🏼🙏🏼 love this video😍😍😍
what exactly do you want learn about?
For sure, it's gonna be very useful for anyone who has never been into an Indian wedding, but you forget to mention the haldi ritual, where turmeric (haldi), oil and water are applied to both the bride and groom by married women on the morning of the wedding.
He mentioned it in the starting of the vid
I was fortunate enough to be invited to attend a friend's wedding. They were both east indian. Going in i was not sure what to expect. I was nervous, i'd never been in a temple before. I also was surprised to learn our attendance would be requested for THREE DAYS worth of events very much like explained in this video. Somr things that i was surprised by, caught off guard by, were:
*Shoes off upon entering temple - they all go in a giant heap by the door and somehow everyone manages to find their own when they go!
*Women must cover their heads in the temple - yes even non Indian attendees! We were given loaner scarves to use as we were not prepared for this!
*instead of grooms side and brides side they seperate attendees by gender women on one side, men on the other.
*The food was vegetarian as stated in this video but LOTS OF IT! and he's right it's wonderful! Super flavorful and delicious!
* the pandit (holy man performing the ceremony) carried around a bowl of a soft not quite SLIMY (but lets just say if your sensitive to textures this might be a tough-ie)the slightly sweet/ dough-y substance that he passed around to each person by pulling off a small bit rolling it into a quick ball and placing it in each person's mouth with his bare fingers as he said a prayer....(granted this was before covid) but was still hard to swallow so to speak!
All in all was an amazing, beautiful experience and im sure Vijay and Divya are happily ever after!
Tysm for this!! I have an assignment due tomorrow, i have to write about what i understand about asian marriage. I chose india, china and Indonesia as an example.
Hi alan which song did you play on here 0:50 ? Thanks
Its rajasthani classic music
Once my girlfriend said we couldn't kiss at our wedding, I got so confused; at that point I have never heard of not kissing at the wedding! I am American and she is Indian. we're still ony teens but have a lot ahead of us.
Only*
Welcome in Bharat and enjoy new wedding ceremony 🎉❤❤
I am marrying an Indian and as the bride this is helpful as we are mixing my czechoslovakian culture with his Indian culture
Where are u from ?
@@Noone-gz8li Czech republic
What was theoutro music Alain?
I found it on triplescoopmusic.com
Hi there. Please can you tell me what music you used at 1.00. Much appreciated 👏🏾✨
I can't remember the name of the song but it's a royalty free song from Artlist.io
It's Indian culture's rajasthani music
@@tanujamishra6537 That much I knew, just liked that particular sound 😊
I am an Indian who lives in India but never understood so many parts 😂
Informative, but I wish this video had more Indian wedding images and videos under the voice rather than talking heads :)
Wow...you explained it beautiful...but there is sooo much detailing..Lol
Even though me and my family are Indian, my brother is marrying a Buddhist girl and both my brother and her know nothing about our wedding ceremonies, this is the video we showed her and my brother, both of them know a lot now about the ceremonies!
Buddhist and Hindu marriages are same in india
Same rituals
Sooooo my crush went to an Indian wedding and said that she was given a present which was chocolate by a boy as one of the events and I'm confused as fc
Yes chocolate and sweets in general are very appreciated
I'm Norwegian viking goddess and I'm getting married to ganesha soon who is basically the most popular god in India so this helped me alot. Thanks
glad to hear that. Have fun at your wedding.
married to whom?
bro gets to the point at 2:25 ur welcome
These are north indian hindu weddings...there are wide variety of wedding functions in india and my favorite is the Syrian Christian weddings of kerala
Yeah there are many different types of indian weddings.
There is a difference between doing something in India and something being Indian by origin. When we say Indian food, we dont mean Pizza joints in India.
Syrian is not Indian wedding.
@@rairadio7119 well said
May i respectfully ask, are these weddings arranged marriage?
Both
Starts at 2:25
What's that?
I'm from Pakistan and we do alot of similar things but even I'm confused about what's happening lol
Stupid converted, u r all fallowing Hindu culture..
Accept it or not your forefathers were also hindu.....
Why do you not show the pictures while you are speaking? You do not need to be in shot the whole time!
Haldi
What percentage of these weddings are white wife's and Indian husband's my boyfriend is indian and I'm white and when you see this type of couple do they do all the parts ?
are all Indian weddings following these same rules? please let me know anyone.
No, there are many different types of Indian weddings. This video focused mainly on North Indian weddings. South Indian and East Indian weddings follow different rules and traditions depending on the ethnicity of the people. My favourite are Malayali and Tamil weddings
Also south Asian is very vast, there is Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepalese etc and then there are extra religious functions depending on the couples religion
@@SK-hd1yk True
The rituals vary slightly - but Haldi (turmeric), stealing shoes, exchange of garlands and 7 rounds around the fire, Sanskrit Mantras these are common. North Indians wear skirts, East and South wears sarees.
It's north Indian wedding ......
South Indian is different
He said Indian wedding not imported Indian wedding
Ajj kal toh mujhe south indians per gussa aaney laga hai....har jagah north south ghuser detay hai...Bhai he said indian wedding...
Just I saw you and you know what you actually look like my boyfriend ! 😔
This was disappointing, I still don't know what to ware or expect, last this I want is a exhibit in the corner...
It NOT an INDIAN wedding. It's just a wedding in HINDU culture✋
You're right. Thank you.
It's not Indian wedding? What is Indian wedding then ?
I'm indian and I'm gonna kiss at me wedding tho
Do it but not infront of holy fire... your thought shows very clearly you will chose lust over love....
Faker
Not 2000 years. Our culture is 10000 or more years old. Proud Hindu
I'm white, & my best friend is going to marry a "Brown girl" as she calls herself. Thank you for this information. I can't wait to see the elephant and get my shoes took.
This wedding is gonna be lit as fuck!!!!
Thank you
Sounds like you're in for a party Nigel!!
