FH was asked to be in a traditional Indian wedding!

So his best friend from kindergarten is getting married this July and he just ask FH to be in the bridal party!

We're actually both really excited about it because the bride and groom are having a big traditional Indian wedding and the whole experience will be a first for both of us!

FH has to wear traditional garb AND grow a full beard, and because I don't have the first clue as to what would be appropriate for me to wear to the ceremony, the bride and groom are going to go out with me and FH one day and find me something!

After the ceremony there is going to be a place for us to change (FH into a tux and me into a gown)

I think we're gonna have a great time!

Has anyone else had, or have been to a traditional Indian wedding before?

I am soooooooo jealous!!!! I think Indian Weddings are so amazing and beautiful!

I hope you and your FH have a GREAT time!

Thanks girls! FH growin a beard is the one thing that I'm NOT looking foward too, though I completely understand him having to do so. (My skin is super sensitive)

But otherwise I'm pretty psyched about it. It's going to be a looooooooong day. We have to be at the place for the ceremony at 7 in the morning! And I know the reception is going to be HUGE - like going over 300 easy from what I understand.

I promise to take loads of pics!

wow that sounds GREAT!

that woud be tonsss of fun...

Indian weddings are HUGE...and CRAZY and the best party ever!!!

Yes they are! I went to two so far and it was really the best experience! Great food, dancing and everything!

Also the ceremony itself (Hindu) is very interesting. I had one of the brides relatives explaining to me what was going on and it was amazing.
