South Asian Weddings

to kiss or not to kiss

So my fiance's a caucasian american and I am an India. we are having a hindu ceremony. We really want to kiss after the ceremony. My sister thinks we will offend all Hindus by doing that. Our hindu priest is okay with it.

    Ditto Bells.  No matter what you will not be able to please  everyone.  If you are comfortable with it, you should go ahead do it.  Also I think I saw the bride and groom kiss in a hindu wedding.  I want to say Maharani wedding blog.  I thought it was very sweet.

    If you're marrying a non-hindu person, I think they'll get over you kissing your husband.

    I don't think it would be too offensive to give a sweet kiss to each other.  Now, if it is the kind of passionate kiss that would make people uncomfortable to witness, then maybe I would sugesst to tone it down. Kiss

    I agree - if you can't kiss your husband on the happiest day of your life, when the hell can you? Kiss him if you feel comfortable but be prepared, some old-school aunty's and grandparents as well as other relatives and relations may not be pleased. But it is your day. Do what you want to do. We are facing the same dilemna. He won't do it and that upsets me, but I can't say that I don't understand! I think it'd have to be when we're alone for pictures or with friends, but we certainly don't plan on standing ten feet apart during our married life! :) Good luck.
