As seen in the movie Monsoon wedding, there are many differences and a few similarities between Indian weddings and traditional weddings. The wedding in the movie was full of bright colors. The decorations and even the bride herself were colorful. In the movie they tried to decorate with white but it was changed it because white was considered a color of mourning. In a traditional wedding here the bride wears white and the decorations tie in to a certain color palate. There isn’t much color in this wedding. The wedding in the movie is arranged and the groom and his family has not met the bride until the engagement party. Here a man and woman usually are together for a while or at least know each other before the man, proposes. These two people are in love and it is their choice to get married. The proposal was a planned party with both families. At the party the engagement is made official, like a proposal. In a traditional wedding usually the proposal is a surprise. In the movie the bridal shower was similar to a traditional bridal shower. The bridal shower in the movie was where all the women gathered and sang, and told jokes. Traditional bridal showers are similar woman gather and joke around and have a fun time. Men are not present at either of these bridal showers however in the bridal shower in the movie the men show up and dance around and celebrate.
