Matches are made in heaven. How true is that? Well, there is no way to prove the statement\u2019s veracity. Similarly, several such misconceptions that drive most Indian weddings. At any big fat Indian wedding, you are sure to find bright lights, decorations, loud music, glittering sherwanis and lehengas. And not to forget how the delectable food, right from starters to the main course, set the mood of the wedding celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at some of the\nwedding misconceptions that exist in society:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A knife a day keeps the evil away<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bride is asked to keep a\nsharp object with her always, from the engagement until the date of marriage,\nto keep evil at bay. The practise dates back to medieval times and is still\nfollowed in many parts of the country. Whether the evil spirits are warded off\nor not by keeping a knife is an answer no one can know for sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No mirror <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Indian weddings, another\nwidely held superstition is that the bride must only see herself once she\u2019s\ncompletely ready. Looking again in the mirror is considered as a bad omen. If\nyou are not superstitious, it is suggested you go ahead and adore your beauty\nin the mirror as often as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucky girl with the darker mehndi <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, this belief crosses\nreligious boundaries in India. The darker the shade of the mehndi, the stronger\nthe marriage would be is what is believed. Another myth surrounding mehndi is\nthat if it lasts on the hands of the bride longer than the groom, she is likely\nto receive more love and care from her in-laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be disheartened if your\nmehndi loses its shade early as it\u2019s only love and understanding that decides\nthe fate of a marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shedding tears – a must<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The typical Indian wedding will\nhave the bride shedding tears at bidaai. It is believed this ensures that the\nbride won\u2019t have to cry after this day and will be leaving all her pains and\nsorrows behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the cameras rolling,\nshedding tears makes up for the \u2018ideal\u2019 wedding videography film. If you want to\nend the video on a \u2018happy\u2019 note, you need to cry. However, you can choose to\nbreak the traditions and smile your way out on your happy day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No black or white dress<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wearing black or white dress on\nthe day of the wedding is considered to be unlucky as these colors are linked\nto mourning and grief. The new generation brides though have started using\nshades of black and white in their dresses, but the complete color is still not\nused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
