Punjabi Wedding Part III - Banglesss Ceremony


After the Oil ceremony, its the bangle ceremony.

Once the bride had her shower after the Oil Ceremony, her brothers will escort her out of the bath room and she will be covered with the blanket which the sisters hold during the Oil Ceremony. She will be sitted and the married women will blessed her and feed her sweet rice. Then the singles women will also feed her sweet rice. The singles will then have to finish the remain of the sweet rice.

Now its time to put on the bangles. The bangles is soak in milk before the ceremony. The Bride's brothers will have to put on the bangles for the bride. There are total if 15 bangles on one hand. The bride has to wear this bangles for 40 days and she cannot take it out even she is showering. After 40 days the bride will keep the bangles, it shall not be wore again.

Finally the bangles ceremony is over. Everyone will have lunch and rest.

They catered from Riverwalk Tandori Resturant. The nun is my favourite, yummy.

Now waiting for the Mehndi (Henna) girl to come in the evening to do the Mehndi.
