Bridal Wear

[thejellymill]

you don't need music to call attention to the bride's entrance. at my wedding the "mc" announced who was coming in and when so people knew.

lol i think part of the unatentive nature of the crowd had to do with the time it took for the party to start.

jellymill: I had no music at my wedding. I don't like it when I go to weddings and have to talk over the music.

Ugh. Tell me about it. One of the weddings I went to this year- someone kill the DJ, it was RIDICULOUS! It was extremely loud [where you're sitting there thinking, oww I'm beginning to get a headache], and full of static [the static you get when you blast the stereo too high]. Just terrible. My wedding at the Masjid, of course didn't have any music, but the family event a year later had low background music. The music wasn't a focal point though.

When i was entering on my Walima day..i wanted to wave and blow kisses to the crowd haha but i wasn't allowed. boo

[AishaMysha]

on my entrance, i was chewing gum.

AND it's all recorded on video. from the moment i get out of the car, make my way up the stairs, then enter the hall, then sit on the stage. im chewing gum. like a cow.

never give a bride gum. cause she gets nervous and forgets to spit it out.

[shadha]

LOL. You two are funny. My husband chewed gum the entire time. I froze when I had to enter the area where they were performing the ceremony. I was like, WAIT! I CAN'T! I'M NOT READY! and my mom ignored me, and pulled me along, then embarrassingly enough, called my dad over, and they both pulled me along. Ugh.

[sumiyia]

i have a leg shaking problem (like literally EVERYONE in my family), and it goes into overdrive when i'm nervous. the entire time on stage, i sat there shaking my leg, up and down up and down up and down. when you play the video on fast forward, it looks ridiculous because in addition to that, i think i was hyperventilating. i look like i'm having a seizure.

[Salika]

I walked in fine for the engagement.

Hubby was walking a tad fast though so I was "slow down" then we kind out walked out of sync for awhile but otherwise alhamdulillah it was dandy

Same My Nikah/Wedding was music-less and people surprisingly paid attention. At the Walimah there was something going on lightly in the background, but people quieted down after our enterance was announced. The silence probably would've been awkward for me if I hadn't been so afraid my mom would continue to step on the back of my dress and trip me (between prodding me in the back to move faster). My parents were muttering between themselves the entire time, too I was going to die. Alhamdulillah. Survived.

how about this?
YouTube - QASIDA BURDA SHAREEF Junaid Jamshed

he's not budging on the music thing, and granted - my dad isn't super conversative, but arshee's inlaws are, hence he doesn't want to offend anyone.
(they requested a seperate wedding, and my dad was like "uh. no." )

i don't know what else to do, besides having her just walk in.
i could hire a punjabi guy to bust out with a dhol, but then my dad would punch my face.
