With the multi- day affairs there are plentiful of options available with everyone to decorate oneself in the best of the dresses with lots of options at one's end.

Narrating down the personal experience here, the number of dresses that I have come to owe and possess are so rich and brings me happiness, each time I look at my wardrobe. The multipe collection of jewellery, dresses , footwear, amongst lot of things. Weddings are a pure collection of joy in several ways. This makes me to proudly say #moreindianthanyouthink.

The variety of culture and the related practices could be seen right from the day of the official engagement of the couple and the richness that both sides maintain of their culture is in itself a great pleasure. Both sides of the family give their best to maintain their culture and the richness associated with it. The exchange of views among the families, of both, the boy and the girl, is splendid. Both abide to maintain their cultural integrity and follow the customs in a proper manner.

Any time there is a wedding in the family, I get to learn a lot about my family culture and values that my family follows. It is a delight to get to know the boundless culture and the vibrancy attached with it. It is a great pleasure to step into modernity with the ethics and values of the culture that India is proudly known for, and a time to say it loudly about myself where I am #moreindianthanyouthink.

I have been a foodie all time, and it is one thing that holds power to make me happy and joyous at all the times even amidst the tough situations. The weddings are primarily all about food for me where exploring each corner of the food section is the utmost priority. The food is all about appetisers, desserts, drinks, main course and what not. It is the most celebrated time at the Indian Weddings. This is what makes us #moreindianthanyouthink.
