There is nothing that can compare with the extravagant display of the Pakistani Indian wedding. Traditionally Pakistani marriages are arranged by two close families. This has been a tradition which has been in integrated part of Pakistani culture for centuries. Pakistani weddings take an enormous time to repair. From the engagement to the actual wedding day is usually a year or more. Even the engagement ceremony also called Mangi, is an extravagant affair. The actual wedding celebration surrounds the ritual of the “Nikah” or marriage contract. And Islamic Imam will oversee the couples union. Pakistani Indian weddings are truly an amazing site and an intoxicating joy for the senses through music, rituals, celebrations, and motions, colors and culture.
