My husband and I live in Australia together. So, my parents, brother, and sister came from the USA to our "English" wedding in Australia (my father-in-law wanted to but couldn't... he was the only one from hubby's side). This was a very small wedding (10 guests) my husband and I payed for it, and I wore an Indian dress (saree) for my husband. My parents spent ,000 on the trip. They didn't (and still don't) talk to my husband's parents, which my in-laws find very insulting. My family is that way and nothing will change them. We are having a second wedding in India for my husband's family. My parents and brother are coming, only for my husband (his request). They have no interest in this wedding. They are also stopping in Europe, and the total cost for this trip is another ,000. My father-in-law is covering ,000 of the Indian wedding cost and my husband and I are responsible for the rest. My husband also regularly pays his father- monthly- to cover debts and his parent's living cost (basically, we are paying for the whole wedding). My father-in-law just sent an email to my father that very directly and politely asks for ,000 toward the Indian wedding. He added figures (false) to make the cost of the wedding a total of ,000 and said as per universal customs my dad should pay half. My dad answered back a polite no. My dad is furious with this email and my father-in-law is enraged with the reply. Who is right anyway? Should my dad be paying anything? Is there some cultural backing for my father-in-law's anger that I don't understand? I do not feel that my dad should have to pay anything to my father-in-law but now my husband agrees with his father. How do I fix this between the two families? I already feel bad because I would have liked an American wedding with my own family rather than the Australian, and for making my family fly all over the world at their expense.
Well, I have two 'bridesmaids' (just really wedding attendants). I'm not having a traditional Indian wedding, but I'm wearing a very simple Indian dress that fades from orange to maroon (fall-themed wedding). I asked a similar question before, and some people thought it may be too easy for them to be dressy.
So I'm looking for very plain sarees preferably in maroon or brown or leaf-green. I mean, really plain, where if there is a design, it'll not very major. My dress is really simple and of course I don't want them to have something dressier than me.
I am going to a church wedding followed by a reception at a hotel.I am an Indian (not native-Indian , like people from Asia) and very conservative. I do not wear dresses -like cocktail dresses or gowns. i wear conservative American clothing like long sleeves shirts, and pants and sweaters.
SO my question is,
-can i wear a saree to the wedding?
-do i have to have two different outfits for church and reception?
I talked to the groom and he said that there is no dress code.
will it be offensive if i wear indian dress?
or, can i wear some dressy blouse and pants?
i am new to american culture..the wedding is my husband's friend's.
I'm an Indian. I'm going to attend my husband's niece's wedding in America. Is it appropriate for me to wear my Indian dress like a saree or do I have to wear western formal clothes?. Its a very fomal wedding and it does not have a dress code.
