I wish i can find an appropriate song in hindi but no luck. I can tell my dad wants a hindi song so bad we decided with Bette Midler-- Wind Beneath My Wings.


IF ANYONE FINDS A HINDI SONG TO DANCE TOO PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

What are you guys doing for the limos? I just got a quote for $1000 for two limos dropping me (and bms) and FH (and gm) to the hall and then one limo picking us up from the hall to the hotel at the end of the night.

Is that reasonable

---

Im still confused as to what to do about limo. My parents say that FH family should be taking care of the limo. I dont think I'll be going to the hall in a limo, since I will be getting there an hour early for pictures. I was telling FH to book a limo to go from hall to hotel, but I dont know if his family will want to do that...

---

pthapar, i think your rate is resonable

i'm using a limo for 2 days.. no drop off anything rather pick up after the wedding and then the next day, we have another ceremony, to bring my guests to his house and then take them from my house to the hotel.. and on the day of shuttle service from the hotel to the hall.. and came out to a little more than that..


Dulhan, if your inlaws are adamant about no limo fine, but I think a rolls royce to take you guys from the hall to the hotel would be great and make great pics as well.. try talking to regal limos, the guy charges you about $250.. worse case, you book it, and keep it on the dl..

---

thanks AR31! I'll check them out. whats their website?

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

somi... they are vendor on here... regal bridal services..


my dad keeps going back and forth with the first dance.. as of now it's a yes.. i'm sure once we start choregraphing, it'll be a no.. i love my dadda :)

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

Hi Ladies!

Has anyone tried Glitter Mehndi? I'm allergic to henna paste .

Ideally, I'd like it to last for 2 days for the Hindu and Islamic wedding....and then remove it for the reception (which is the next day). If that's even possible.

Does anyone know of any vendors that actually can do it?

PS...did anyone go to Dulhan Expo show Sunday? I went...I did't get much out of it though.

Congrats GT......your big day is a mere few days away!!! I'm so excited for you

I was talking to my mom about the father/daughter dance and she wants an indian song. She mentioned two of them

Mere Ghar Aayee Ek Nanhi Pari - song from Hindi movie/album Kabhi Kabhi

O meri Laadli - song from hindi movie/album Dil Ek Mandir

These songs are from the 60s.

Hope this helps

I went to a wedding where the father/daughter dance was that song from hum saath saath hain - yeh to such hai ke bhagwana hai - personally a bit too much for me - but it was def. a tear jerker

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

Thank you so much for those recommendations. I will check them out. Does anyone have the lyrics of these songs? Sorry i don't speak hindi or anything beside english..lol well maybe spanlish...ha ha

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

MERE GHAR AAYEE EK NANHI PARI
mere ghar aa'ii She came to my house,
mere ghar aa'ii ek nanhii parii ek nanhii parii a little fairy came to my house,
chaa.ndanii ke hasiin rath pe savaar mounted on a beautiful chariot of moonlight.
mere ghar aa'ii She came to my house,
mere ghar aa'ii ek nanhii parii ek nanhii parii a little fairy came to my house.
uskii baato.n me.n shahad jaisii miTHaas There was a sweetness like honey in her words;
uskii saa.nso.n me.n itr kii mahakaas and the scent of perfume on her breath.
ho.nTH jaise ke bhiige bhiige gulaab Her lips were like wet, wet roses;
gaal jaise ke bahake bahake anaar her cheeks were like ripe pomegranates.
mere ghar aa'ii She came to my house,
mere ghar aa'ii ek nanhii parii ek nanhii parii a little fairy came to my house.
uske aane se mere aa.ngan me.n From her arrival, in my courtyard,
khil uTHe phuul gungunaa'ii bahaar flowers blossomed and spring sang.
dekhkar usko jii nahii.n bhartaa Having seen her, I cannot have my fill of her
chaahe dekhuu.n use hazaaro.n baar... even if I see her a thousand times.
mere ghar aa'ii She came to my house,
mere ghar aa'ii ek nanhii parii ek nanhii parii a little fairy came to my house.
mai.n ne puuchha use ki kaun hai tuu I asked her, 'Who are you?'
ha.nske bolii ki mai.n huu.n tera pyaar With a laugh, she said, 'I am your love.
mai.n tere dil me.n thii hamesha se I have lived in your heart since forever,
ghar me.n aa'ii huu.n aaj pahalii baar but this is the first time I've come to your house.'
mere ghar aa'ii She came to my house,
mere ghar aa'ii ek nanhii parii ek nanhii parii a little fairy came to my house,
chaa.ndanii ke hasiin rath pe savaar mounted on a beautiful chariot of moonlight.
mere ghar aa'ii She came to my house,
mere ghar aa'ii ek nanhii parii a little fairy came to my house,
ek nanhii parii... a little fairy...

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

is it just me or do those lyrics not seem completely appropriate for the father/daughter dance?


Is it for the first dance with your husband?

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

yeah now that i think about it..it kinda doesnt sound like a father/daughter song lol hindi songs always sound funny when translated
