hello all.... my friend and i really want to experience an Indian wedding, any ideas how to get ourselves invited? We've met people who get invited randomly so that is what we are hoping for. if anyone knows some people that want some guests either in dharmsala or jaislemer (or delhi i guess...) area... let us know!
happy travels

Simply gatecrash into a wedding !

The groom's side will think you've been invited by the bride's side; and vice-versa !!

Either way, you'll receive VIP treatment !

your best bet would be going from the grooms side- you will get some pampering.......you could find yourself a nice / handsome indian husband and get an invite to your own wedding???eh?

If you planning to travel to north india(punjab) my partner and i are planning to get hitched there in the next few months......shall i send across my wedding list???? he he!!

Gatecrash like a bull!!!.

On your way to the marriage place you may pickup a few total strangers from the streets also! Just tell that you want to see the marriage. As long as you are in a decent outfit, in all probability you’ll be received well.

Just a short note on weddings:
We were watching the procession of a wedding and taking a few pictures. I was like "who is the bride and who is the groom?" - anyway I took a few pictures but did not want to take pictures of the unhappy guy on the horse.
After I was told by an Indian that the guy on the horse is the groom and he is supposed to look unhappy after the idea "if you are unhappy before marriage, then you will have a happy marriage".
But we did get some nice elephant pictures...
