In reply to the discussion: My big, fancy, fish-filled, blingy, smokey, loud, crowded Indian wedding ceremony (pics) [View all]Jim Lane
(11,175 posts)36. Thanks! Did you show your wife's family any photos of your U.S. wedding?
I had an automatic reaction that some of the customs you described were silly, but of course the only reason I don't think that about all of our customs is that I'm used to them.
It's easy to picture the Bengalis being interested, but sometimes politely trying to hide their laughter, if they got a similar recap of your wedding here.

There's a large enough Anglo population in Kolkata still that it's not "exotic" to them
