In our UP bramhin family we have ritual that on wedding day the grooms bathes and some amt of water is collected and send to bride.<br> The bride bathes with the same water then gets ready.. nowadays the water is sprinkled as everyone gets parlour ready

I love chooda ceremony...as <span style="color:#3B5998;"><b> @616d9126ca67e40013aaf3e5 </b></span> di explained&#128525; and joota churaai rasam... One more addition is when bride's mother hold groom's nose and pull him inside the pandaal...during welcoming him and feed him meetha paan&#128525;

In Bengali culture one special sweet Anandonaru prepared one day before marriage which is very special...

My own custom - my mom is from UP we wear green Bangles . I'm also Punjabi so I wore chura both : ) <br> And then to top all my in laws who are from Kerala insisted I wore golden Bangles. I did it all.

We have a lovely choora ceremony in punjabi weddings where on the day of marriage..few hours before marriage during daytime the girl wears very normal clothes and the girls mama and maami or someone from maternal side make the girl wear a red choora and give her blessings and gifts for her future happy married life ...also there is a small Pooja and everyone kisses the choora and blesses the girl..also a kaleera is tied to the choora.. special food is prepared including halwa..poori.. mathris etc.layer the choora is covered with hankies so that the girl doesnt see it again and again and its taken of at night before wedding...later the girl takes bath and gets ready for the wedding..lots of crying happens..
