Hello Fellow Knotties,
My mother was born in Mumbai and spent most of her life in India. She came to Canada to go to school, and that is how she met my father, who is Canadian. In June of 2009, she passed away. I miss her dearly and am so heartbroken that I cannot share in my new engagement joy with her.
My mother was Parsee, my father is Lutheran so I was never given my navjot, nor was I baptized. I want to do something at my wedding in memory of my mom and her culture, but I have no idea where to begin. I've never been to a Parsee wedding, nor have I even been to any South Asian wedding.
Does anyone have any ideas of what sorts of food, traditions, or elsewise that would be appropriate for me to include in my ceremony or reception? Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks!
