Pakistani weddings have always fascinated me from a very young age. This fascination could probably be attributed to a variety of things ranging from the lavish 3 day ceremonial proceedings, the array of colours and patterns that the bride would be seen in for the next few days or so, the endless lights and marigolds that the couple's respective houses would be adorned with and the myriad of cultural activities that would take over the course of the wedding. Overall, as any wedding would be around the world, the happiness, laughter, banter and colour that embodies a Pakistani wedding is undoubtedly heartwarming. 

Here is a link to my all time favourite mehndi tune (Mehndi Hai Rachnewali).
