Indian weddings are exquisite, elegant, and echanting affairs. Though they can also be exhaustive and tedious.
An engagement is the promise to marry. "Will you marry me?" these (in)famous words are uttered as the man asks his partner to take their risha (relationship) to matrimony. In the Western world the engagement ritual is based around the gift of an engagement ring from the man to the woman. In Indian culture, rituals and prayers are traditionally performed usually as the question need not be asked, it has already been decided; though in these modern times more Indians are adapting Western style engagements, particularly non-residents (NRIs).
The ceremony marks the culmination of the marriage process. During the ceremony gods are worshipped and rituals performed to bless the couple who are getting married. As is typical in Indian culture, there is no well-defined or 'correct' procedure for a ceremony. Variations are always present due to the vibrant and diverse nature of the people. But in general, Indian ceremonies are a religious affair and quite long and demanding in constrats to other cultures around the world.

Bridal sarees and lenghas are the traditional Indian dress worn by the bride in weddings. Although they are very traditional they are very fashionable, colours, cuts, patterns, and detail work changes every year. When a bride walks down the aisle in a spectacular bridal saree or lengha they must really feel confident and on top of the world, knowing everyone is staring at them thinking 'wow, she looks amazing'.
