I'm not really into weddings. I never played "wedding" when I was a kid or dreamed about what my wedding would be like one day.
I was too busy playing in mud, ruining my clothes, and farting in my brother's face (I'm a nicer sister now).
Even now, I would never spend money on a wedding because I'd rather just travel. $4,000 on a wedding dress, are you insane?! That's 4 months in Asia!!!
But one kind of wedding that I did dream about was Indian weddings. Going to an Indian wedding was WAY high up on my bucket list....and after finally getting to go to one a few years ago, I realized they definitely deserve their spot at the top of the list.
5 Reasons Why Indian Weddings Are The Best In The World:
Food For Days- Indian weddings last anywhere from 3-7 days. I went to one that was about 5 days, in Lonovala. And there was literally a glorious buffet of food for every single meal. And if you like Indian restaurants...just wait until you go to India and try the real thing. You'll never want regular food again.
Dancing For Days- I kind of LOVE Bollywood music. Maybe that's embarrassing to admit. But Indians are great dancers and the energy is just off the charts at an Indian wedding. Plus, somehow you find yourself bonding with people over your awkward, inadequate dance moves.
Indian Friends- They're some of the top friendliest people in the world. Seriously. In just one day of being there, I had more friends than I had holes in my underwear.

Sarees- I could stare at these bright-colored clothes forever!!!
Henna- I LOVE henna tattoos. I mean, just look at that artwork on the lady's hand. I love that I snapped this pic just at the right moment. The only sad part about henna is it goes away after a week or so.
I could list more reasons, like the all-night partying every night, and eating pizza and rice at 4 am... but the rest of the magic, you'll just have to experience for yourself.
