Yay for the mangalsutra! Loving this series :) The blue jewellery set however is called kundan jewellery (which originated in the royal courts of rajasthan). Temple jewelry has motifs of Indian gods (originated in the south of India).
Hey Monica, I know you're based in LA. Wanted to extend some support to you and your community. Even if you guys aren't directly affected, it still must be shocking to hear about and see others experience. Sending love to everyone who lost their homes and all the brave first responders fighting the fires ❤❤❤
Hi Monica! Congrats on your wedding! 💌 I never comment but I’m an Indian American and it genuinely means so much to me to see another Indian woman living her best, loving & liberated life. You’re so authentic & watching you always calms me. Thank you for creating!
I'm eagerly waiting everyday for your wedding updates everyday, specially the shopping because it's so relatable as pettite curvy brown women who hardly ever fits popular designer clothes. I'm just so happy you found everything you were looking for. Hope we get to see more of it. ❤
Omg I love the mangalsutra it's soo beautiful I love it I and Chris are amazing ur the best seriously ur the best couple ❤❤ thr mangalsutra is soo pretty and it suits u and I hope u had so much fun in India ❤
I haven't been to India since I was 10 years old. Thank you for sharing a little piece of home with us ❤ Mom & I are watching together! PS - WOW, the tourist attractions are so much more crowded than when I visited 20+ years ago!
People that are able to travel for leisure, their numbers have grown substantially in last 8-6 years.And, because it's holiday season and winter harvest festivals are coming up! Its literally quite the bad idea to visit India at this time for touring because the wedding season will start again soon after the harvest festivals. Anyone that visits should do a bit of research.
Hi I'm a wedding bartender if you need. 🎉congrats. Yall are cute. When are you cornering the brown girl makeup line market? It's you girl. We all know it's you. My niece is the only deep complected girl in the family and I'm happy to refer her to your videos. She struggled when she was a little girl. She thought her dark skin wasn't pretty. Thank you for giving me tips to give her so she understands her beauty should be celebrated. My daughter is the only curly haired girl in the family. Thank you for showing your curly hair tips too. ❤️
Hey Monica, im a new subscriber and i wanted to tell you i loved this wedding shopping series/vlogs you did. Please please continue the long form content, i enjoy it so much more than the short form content! Congratulations on the wedding and you both look great together ❤. Stay safe with all the fire etc in LA.
Loved this whole series. Please do a haul video, would love to see all the makeup and stuff you got. Also, I hope you all are safe and well away from the fires
McDonald’s in other countries is legit so nice! I remember going to Paris last year during Christmas and the McDonald's was all decked out in lights!! I’m planning my wedding this year as well and I am struggling with figuring out what makeup to wear, I feel like I can never find the right shade. What makeup are you wearing for your wedding?
Monica , the jewellery you’ve bought, has a thread tieup which has chances to break during events,just letting you know so please do have a backup. Actually jewellery with tie up chains do not tend to break and is more sturdy. I have loved all your wedding shopping vlogs. Hope you both have enjoyed 😁 and specially your rickshaw ride to chandni chowk would be fun and adventurous😁💖. But loved it truly💖.
You are correct about the sales persons at nykaa. They always trying to sell you the expensive stuff even though it's not what you are looking for and they are not really knowledgeable about makeup I feel. Also there is thing they are always following you in the store as if you are gonna steal something. I get anxious and that's why I just buy online and wish for the best. Also the range of shades for foundation is horrible. There are sometimes you recommend a product and I want to buy but I can't find my shade. Anyways I hope you are doing well in midst of the situation going on in LA have a safe journey ❤❤❤
Beautiful mangalsutra, how did you find that? What a lovely thing to do for your subscriber, she must have been so happy. Please do a lengthy try on/ what I brought in India haul. ❤
I’m so incredibly happy and grateful you decided to vlog this! You’ve helped me so much in embracing and loving my brown skin and south Asian culture. The bridal shopping is genuinely unbeatable, you’re making me excited for when I go next! Love from Canada♥️
hi monica! indian subscriber here! i was so stoked to learn about you being in delhi- almost wanted to drop a few texts about reccs. however, do you have any plans to visit india again before your wedding? your pre-wedding shoot here in delhi will be golden!
Hey monica huge fan here so glad so visited delhi i wish the nykaa you visited was the one i worked at. So bummed that they lost your stuff British airways suck. i wish you good luck and love on your marriage journey ahead. Lots of Love from all the indian fam.
I wish Indian McDonalds was also in Europe, but then I'd eat too often there ! 🤭 While visiting the UK I had a lovely curry patty, I couldn't believe how flavourful it was ! Thank you for taking us to queue and see the Taj Mahal, it was beautiful !
Hi Monica, although I’ve been following you since quite sometime now, it’s just during this video that I found out you’re based in LA.. I hope you and your loved ones are safe… please know that you’ll are a part of our prayers ..
As a fellow pale person, I got my wedding band and engagement ring in white gold. That might work better with the skin tone Chris has. I'm really enjoying watching your wedding planning content in this longer form.
I am happy that you liked the Bulgari mangalsutra, I am just not sure about buying jewellery from luxury brands that too in India where we usually buy it based on the cost of materials + making charge 😅 Does your family also do a traditional thaali?
Yes we bought one too! The bvlgari Mangalsutra was actually only made for India! It’s not sold anywhere else and if you want to buy it in the US it’s 2x the price
will you do your own make up or hire a mua on your wedding? also i would reccomend the flee markets for just funnn if you go to delhi visit sarojini pleaseee would love a vlog of thattt
Just PSA about avoiding taking auto powered rickshaws!! There have been a lot of accidents because the brakes on the rickshaws are very weak and the whole thing flips over. Normal human powered bike rickshaws are a lot safer!
I had no idea modern mangalsutras existed! I have a big gold thali(Tamil/sri Lankan equivalent) but it’s like a big gold thing that’s so stiff it’s like a hula hoop around my neck so I can’t wear it everyday
Yay for the mangalsutra! Loving this series :)
The blue jewellery set however is called kundan jewellery (which originated in the royal courts of rajasthan). Temple jewelry has motifs of Indian gods (originated in the south of India).
Thank you!! This is also how you kindly educate people. I’ll also be letting my mom know 💀

Did we just get talkative Chris?
Pd: I know we have seen Mom in the past, but I have to say it: that woman is gorgeous, OMG!
hi monica! indian subscriber here! i was so stoked to learn about you being in delhi- almost wanted to drop a few texts about reccs. however, do you have any plans to visit india again before your wedding? your pre-wedding shoot here in delhi will be golden!
Can't wait for the wedding omfg😭😭😭
What makeup are you using for the wedding?
omg what was the lippie at 8:20?? sooo stunning!!
Please stay safe Monica 🙏🏻 Also sending thoughts and prayers to everyone affected in the fire ❤
Was it quite smoggy when you went?
Next time whenever you come visit some mountains and beaches here !
Hey monica huge fan here so glad so visited delhi i wish the nykaa you visited was the one i worked at. So bummed that they lost your stuff British airways suck. i wish you good luck and love on your marriage journey ahead. Lots of Love from all the indian fam.
Your mom is so stunning!
Chris is THE MAN
I wish Indian McDonalds was also in Europe, but then I'd eat too often there ! 🤭 While visiting the UK I had a lovely curry patty, I couldn't believe how flavourful it was ! Thank you for taking us to queue and see the Taj Mahal, it was beautiful !
Heyyy! Is there a meet and greet in Agra? :)
If you go to Delhi again by any chance, I highly recommend going to Shahpur Jat for wedding shopping:)
Have a safe trip

Yes we bought one too! The bvlgari Mangalsutra was actually only made for India! It’s not sold anywhere else and if you want to buy it in the US it’s 2x the price
@ Can’t wait to see the whole shebang! I didn’t know the Bulgari mangalsutra was exclusive to India!
❤❤❤
will you do your own make up or hire a mua on your wedding? also i would reccomend the flee markets for just funnn if you go to delhi visit sarojini pleaseee would love a vlog of thattt
Indian costume jewelry is always a win
You have perfect hair 😍😭
Update more plsss
Can’t wait to see you as a bride
This is because some aunties would rather turn into ghostface than use a foundation that matches he’s their skin
I guess it's not temple jewellery. Temple jewellery is the kind of jewellery people use in south India. It looks a lot like temple sculpture.
agreed honestly i was confused what she said lol
Oh y'all sound so tired! Hope you got some good sleep on the plane home.
Isnt it mangalsutar?
Waiting for the make up review
I swear it felt like you were in India for 2 weeks or three 😭
Be safeee! LA is....
If i knew u were gunna be in agra, I'd have come to the taj Mahal to get a selfie with you.
Girls nowadays wear mangalsutra around neck or in hand as bracelet.
Have you thought about purchasing payal? Well that is one of my favourite!
No hate but don't south Indian brides wear a thali instead of a mangalsutra?
2 different words for the same thing
They’re the same thing bruh in two different languages
Is your house ok back home??
Just PSA about avoiding taking auto powered rickshaws!! There have been a lot of accidents because the brakes on the rickshaws are very weak and the whole thing flips over. Normal human powered bike rickshaws are a lot safer!
I had no idea modern mangalsutras existed! I have a big gold thali(Tamil/sri Lankan equivalent) but it’s like a big gold thing that’s so stiff it’s like a hula hoop around my neck so I can’t wear it everyday
I bought that too! But I couldn’t find any that were more simple enough for daily where which was why I loved this one!
Your voice sounds very pleasant in this video. Usually it’s very loud and grating, but I still love and watch every video!
I thought tamils wear the Thali and not the northern mangalsutra..
Omg why don’t u try papadontpreach its the best
I’m not Indian. Can you explain what a mangalsutra is? I have never heard of that before.
it's just like a wedding ring
that a women will wear entirety of her married life😊
★
Why did you decide for a north indian mangalsutra and not a south indian Thaali?🌟💚
i bought both but i wanted one i'd actually wear everyday
@makeupbymonicaa that is such a beautiful thought!!!🥹❤️
The man hitting the woman @ 1:00 is really rude
DUDE I JUST SAW THAY 😢
