Jannah, the art work on the hands and arms is that a tradition? Fashion? Can you tell us about it please? Oh and I loved the idea for the skit, I was laughing as my hubby and I had a sort of 1 1/2 year pc courtship before we met, we also joked about having two keyboards in the house as it was the only way we knew how to communicate to that point.   :D

[wlm] These are for Adi, my fashion consultant: ;) http://www.pakwatan.com/main/fashion/picgallery/sara/  ...more pics of that cool colored henna stuff.. Azizah henna also called mehendi or mehndi is a paste that people use to make temporary tattoos on women for special occassions like weddings and holidays.  There's a thread called "Mehndi! Mehndi! Mehndi!" somewhere that has more info. It's actually alot of fun :)

[slm] Go with the bright red. Not maroon, not dark red, but bright red. :) No one can go wrong with in red. and plus, it's traditional color, and not many people wear it anymore. so i'd be a change. what think?

(all relative to the more luxuriously and elaborately designed Malay bridal rooms.. none of which is online for me to show it to you... only the gaudy ones are online  :P) http://www.details.com.sg/bedroom/bd003.html Wassalam :)

[slm] abayyas,jilbabs.....'n stuff Jilbab on your wedding day!? No way, dude, we're desi, we like to wear desi stuff on our wedding day.  ;)  What's so unislamic about the dresses? All she has to do is not be in front of nonmehram men. simple. :) And the same would go for a jilbab for a wedding. the ones i have seen are pretty fancy too.

[slm] Ya Rub!  Looking at those pictures gets me excited.  Full of joy.  Triple overjoy cause I know who se7en is now.  WOOHOOO!!! She'll make a beautiful bride no matter what she wears.  And the bedroom set looks georgeous.  Our style is more insane.  I'll bring some pics to show you at ISNA insha-Allah. There is an Indian store (forgot the name) but they have beautiful dresses.  The owner showed me some yesterday cause I saw your pics and wanted to see how I would look in one.  I chickened out.  So I rented another Hindi movie.  But she showed me little cute outfits that would fit a 6 mo old girl.  We are both like "AAAAWWWWEEEE.  That's so cute."  Her husband was like, "Are you guys playing with those dresses?  It's not like you can have one being so old."   They're a nice couple.  But that's the only Desi shop close to me which is 20 minutes away if I drive on the freeway going 60 mph.  SO go once in a while when I'm in the mood to watch a love story.  They make the best. I'm so jealous......y'all gonna look so beautiful.  We wear like 10 different outfits before showing off the white dress.  I bought mine, but my daughter probably won't want to wear it on her day. Ma-asalaama.....

Now it's got me re-thinking what to wear at my wedding....My mom, grandmother and me are going to make it, I think it would be less expensive that way, and it would be a fun thing to do together. So, I think I'll be refering to some of these pictures for ideas! And one last thing before I go to bed, what does desi mean??? Silly question, but I see that every now and again, and haven't been able to figure out what it is.

[slm]  sisters!! Missy, desi means someone from Indian/Pakistani background.   :) I have a curious and slightly "lame" question for u sisters--what are weddings like in ur respective locales?  The weddings here are becoming more and more ostentatious while all the meanwhile becoming more liberal with everyone "competing" against each other for the most posh wedding.   :'(   That equals weddings at places like the Ritz, coupla thousand dollar wedding outfit, djs--mixed dancing, first dances, etc etc!!   :o   Whats an example of a classy yet "Islamic" wedding?  sad how those are rare here.    :'( Just curious... ;D Wassalam :-)

[quote]Whats an example of a classy yet "Islamic" wedding?  sad how those are rare here.    [/quote] I've had the priveleged to witness this. The Imam to do the akad, 2 witnesses, the wali, the bride, the groom, the parents, the mahr and the masjid. they did the akad, ended with du'a. everyone had some snack (dates and cookies) . the whole thing would probably took 30 mins if the groom and the bride forgot the marriage license and they took 1 hr 45 mins to go back to get it. after that, lunch at darband (not sure of the correct spelling).   oh but i forgot to mention that it'll be interesting to see their reception on the bride's said which probably have almost 3000 relatives and friends attending.

[quote]How come the men in your country are all holding on to their wives....and a dagger[/quote] Isnt that what married couple should do?  ??? It's not a dagger but a 'keris' or 'kris' . They're wearing Malay traditional wedding dress. In our culture, we refer to couple on their wedding day as the King and Queen of the day. The keris symbolize men as warrior. Long time ago, they carry that all the time for protection like people carrying guns nowadays. No, our country (M'sia and S'pore) do not allow ppl carry weapon at all. I think.

[quote]How come the men in your country are all holding on to their wives....and a dagger? [/quote] me mano, protect wifeo Its just a symbol for protection.... me thinks. Its just like cowboys carry guns and wear hats... Malay men of the past carry the keris and wear the tanjak or the songkok. They don't usually hold onto the keris (that's just for posing for the camera), they place it at the folds of their samping; the knee length *sarong*like cloth that they wear on their waist. Allahua'alam
