Sanjay Shah, originally from Leicester, married an Indian man who did not want to be named in a ceremony in Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital earlier this month.

Though Nepal does not yet recognise same-sex marriage, ceremonies performed by priests are generally accepted.

The wedding was organised by LGBT group the Blue Diamond society, and happened just a few days before Nepal’s first gay pride march, which was attended by an estimated 2000 people.

According to the website Pink News, the pair met in the UK, and plan to return to Britain after a honeymoon in India.

Nepal’s Supreme Court ruled in favour of gay rights in 2008, but has yet to enact an appropriate law. The government is also expected to legalise same-sex marriage when gay rights are eventually incorporated into the constitution.

The drive to end discrimination is supported by government officals who think gay tourists could bring money to the economy.

Nepal’s best-known gay activist, MP Sunil Pant, has even established a tour company, Pink Mountain, which caters to gay tourists looking to marry or honeymoon in the Himalayas.

“Most Asian countries don’t welcome gay visitors, so we can have the maximum benefit for the Nepal economy which is fragile after years of war,” he said.

An important thing to see about tailoring is that it is something that will work to make it easier for the body to fit into a dress with ease. The thing about tailoring is that it works to help with getting an exact measurement to work on a dress. This is done by making it so the dress can fit properly around one’s body.

The measurements that are used will work to see that the dress is going to look its best. The thing about the dress is that it is one that will work with fits around more than just the shoulders and waist. It will also have fits around the legs, chest and stomach among other places. There are a variety of different parts of a dress to take a look at so it will help for anyone to take a look at this when getting a dress handled.

A good thing to see about wedding dress tailoring services is that they can be especially effective for women who are smaller or larger than others. Many companies that make wedding dresses do not consider petite or plus sizes when they make their dresses. After all, most women do not fit into any of these size categories. A tailoring service will help to ensure that the dress will be easier for one to fit into.

It will help to know that in some cases tailoring services will be more expensive for a person to deal with. This can be especially bothersome in many cases in that the cost can be a few hundred dollars in difference. It can be worth it though in that it will make it easier for a dress to fit out very well.

It is good to take a look at these things when it comes to getting a wedding dress going. This is so it will be easier to see that the dress is going to look impressive for anyone to see.

Style and Fabric

Where to start? When it comes to style, most modern brides want their friends to be comfortable. This often means ignoring the old procrustean rule about identical dresses and allowing the bridesmaids to express their own style, to a point. It is strongly suggested that you, the bride, set a few simple rules, such as no dress above the knees or no strapless numbers.

Giving each bridesmaid the option of choosing her own style of dress will inevitably take some of the pressure off of you. After all, there are some decisions you must make on your own. The bride is expected to choose the color and the fabric of the dress.

When it comes to fabric, it is important to consider the financial situation of each of your bridesmaids. If one girl has trouble making rent, it would be incredibly inconsiderate of you to expect her to purchase an expensive silk dress that she will only wear once. Rather, select a more affordable synthetic material like rayon, which actually looks like silk.

Color

Okay, no more hiding. It’s time to stop making excuses and actually choose the color. Why would you hide? Well, color is the one choice that you must make on your own. But just as with the earlier decisions, there are several important considerations. Color is non-negotiable. All of the bridesmaids must wear the same color. If your bridesmaids are choosing their own style of dress, it is always a good idea to select a color that will allow them to wear it again. As you know, there are certain colors that simply scream wedding. Powder blue, fuchsia and hot pink come immediately to mind. And with the economy in a rut, there is a definite trend toward more muted colors.

What are they? Platinum and black are classic colors that are perennial favorites with brides and their bridesmaids. Paler colors like sand, taupe, and lighter shades of yellow are also quite popular. It is also important to consider the season. For a fall wedding, hunter and burgundy are currently in high demand.

For brides who want more vibrant or explosive colors, there are ways to achieve this effect without sacrificing the dress. Accessories are a simple and affordable solution. A red ribbon or sash can add the necessary color to an understated bridesmaid dress. Bright flower bouquets for all the girls are another easy way to add color to your side of the aisle.

You may also want to consider the skin tone and hair color of the bridal party. Now, this might seem like overkill, but you only get married once…hopefully. Where to begin? The following are a few basic rules. If your bridesmaids have light skin and fair hair, stay away from pastel colors. This will make them look tired and washed out. For bridesmaids who have olive skin, yellows and light greens can also create this effect. As a general rule, deep colors are compatible with most skin tones and hair colors. Colors like black, midnight blue, emerald and crimson are flattering to people of all shades and tones.

Fit

Style, color, fabric—what else is there? You knew it wouldn’t be easy. But what we have not discussed are the inevitable complications that always seem to arise. Probably the most common complaint that bridesmaids have is that custom-fit dresses don’t fit them well. Now, the solution might seem simple—a tailor or a seamstress—but alterations can be expensive.

One simple solution is separates. As you might expect, separates are two distinct pieces of formal wear that fit some women a lot better. For example, if a woman has a large bust or waistline, it can difficult for her to find a custom-fit dress that flatters her figure and does not require expensive alterations. Separates give her the option of choosing different sizes for tops and bottoms to get a better fit. The bridesmaid dresses you choose will add a major layer of beauty and organization to your wedding. Keep these considerations in mind as you pick out the perfect design and you’ll be sure to please every member of the bridal party.

One of the most important aspects of weddings is the bright colored clothing that you get to see. Even though the bride is always the centre of attraction, the next important attention seeker is the bridesmaid and which is why it is equally important to have a fantastic outfit chosen for your bridesmaid, which will add a sparkle to the occasion.

To choose a bridesmaid dress it is important that you involve the bridesmaid and pick something that can be used by her not just for this occasion but for any future parties or galas too. Colorful satin dresses are the things to have your eyes on. Even though most girls prefer a black gown, adding a coloring flavor to it is not a bad idea. A spaghetti chiffon dress with a strap on can give it a very elegant look. Embroidered with colorful flowery patterns, a strapless satin ball gown is also quite popular among the ladies. Other patterns with colors include the rose petal, saffron or the oasis type dresses that can create wonders for a perfect bridesmaid look for that perfect wedding day. The pistachio or clover colored dress can be worn with complementing jewelry for a classy celebration.

India is a country of culture and wedding is considered as a sacred institution in here. A lot of celebrations are carried out during weddings and the couple is off course the centre of attraction.

Indian Wedding Dress

However, since Indian traditional weddings have loads of customs and the process goes on for nearly 3 days there have been a lot of attention showered on the dressing of the couple. For the brides it’s obvious that the lehngas and sarees take away all the glam of the evening, and also the sarees are really well suited on every female. As they say, “Indian clothing really suits everyone.”

An embroidered saree, with a nice border is what is chosen by most of the brides sometimes the brides go so overboard that they also have someone to make themselves a hand-made bordered saree for the special day. However this has become quite rare today with the printed material surpassing the needs of hand crafting.

For the groom, sherwani’s is the most followed attire during weddings and reception calls for a three piece suit for some. Some of the most popular choices by the groom would be Jodhpuri suit or the Kurta pajamas as well.

Generally it has been said that weddings in Nepal take place at a tender age and is mostly an arranged marriage, wherein the parents of the couple meet each other, discuss things and then if found suitable arrange for the meet of their respective children. Mostly marriages are made by parents. However, things have been changing lately and the love marriage concept has also gained acceptance.

Nepal is a country with varied cultures and hence the wedding traditions everywhere are quite different. However, the dresses of the brides and grooms possibly remain similar for most of the religious and ethnic groups in there.

The bride would usually dawn a saree on the wedding day and would have a chunni (a netted scarf, but a really long one) which would cover her face till the neck, but would be netted so that her face can be seen a bit. Sarees would mostly be red in color, bright red that is and would be embroidered with heavy work on the front side as well as on the borders. Usually golden borders are seen in most of the sarees while the blouse is mostly in a unique Newari style. Gold is mainly worn as jewelry in the form of necklaces and bangles.

It is finally here. The big day and you feel as though everything you have looked forward to has now turned into a stomach full of knots. Everything is set. You look at yourself in the mirror and you are absolutely beautiful. And, the knots begin again. There is a church full of people waiting, a reception with close to two hundred people afterwards and all the plans that have lead up to this day and now you are having second thoughts.

wedding day

What do you do? First, take a deep breath and go over all the wonderful memories that the two of you shared. The day he proposed. The first kiss. The magic of his touch. And, God forbid, if there is no magic, quickly down a bottle of champagne. Just kidding. Relax. There are ways that you can assure yourself on your wedding day that yes, this is the right decision, and should you not be able to be one hundred percent sure then the worse case scenario is to leave him at the alter, which there are plenty accounts of in history and you definitely will not be the first bride to do this.

There are few women that actually experience this. However, there are those that do- for whatever reason. But, most realize in the end, that they are making the right decision and that they are ready to spend their life with this man.

To be absolutely sure that this is the man of your dreams think of these factors:

Does he make you happy? Do you feel as though you have a true friend in him? Can you speak to him? Is he there when you need him? Can you depend on him considering you first? Can you depend that when he does hurt you, that he is hurt as much as you are and is willing to make an effort to correct what he has done? Is he someone that you enjoy his company? Do you long to be with him?

Now, let’s go a little deeper. Do you share the magic and the passion that two people in love should share? Do you get butterflies when something special happens between the two of you? Do you tingle when he touches you “just right”? Do you look forward to your “hello” kiss? Can you imagine him being the father of your children? Will he be able to provide and protect you? Will he be a partner or can you see him becoming a roommate? Do you experience every time you get in an argument a list of memories of what a schmuck he is flooding your mind and making you even more emotionally upset?

All of these questions you should be able to answer “yes” to. While you may not always feel as though every magic is special the good times should far out shine the bad moments. You should be able to communicate with one another and get past the obstacles. Once you have answered all these questions you can once again look in the mirror and know that you are soon to be the Mrs. with and starting an entire new chapter will possibly last a lifetime!
