Get your front row seat to an extravagant Indian wedding Posted on 9 November 2018 Tags:india, International travel Indian weddings are nothing short of lavish. They are planned years in advance and celebrated over several days with opulent decorations, music and a kaleidoscope of colour. Getting a front row seat to the festivities would not have been possible some years back unless you were a friend or aquintence, but now can be part of the festivities. A website called Join My Wedding offers travellers the chance to enjoy a first hand experience of a traditional Indian wedding celebration. The aim of this cultural exchange is to unite cultures from all over the world and let tourists experience an authentic ceremony in real time. How the website works: The bride and groom give a certain number of guests permission to be a part of their opulent occasion by sharing their wedding details on Join My Wedding’s website. A list of different weddings appear on the site and travellers connect with the “host couple” after their ticket purchase to introduce themselves. All sales from the tickets go to the newly weds. Dear Claudia @cgonzalezmuzzio any chance you would like to experience a traditional Indian wedding ceremony tomorrow night? This is Clare from the UK who came with us to one last week. I’m here from Hungary 🙂 pic.twitter.com/uaG7gOWSXd — JoinMyWedding (@JoinMyWedding) December 11, 2017 The bride! pic.twitter.com/MA0Llwbkm4 — Clare Sudbery (@ClareSudbery) November 29, 2017 The groom!

What a lovely evening. Thank you to @JoinMyWedding for organising it all for me. I ate and drank an awful lot of delicious stuff. I must have gained several pounds. pic.twitter.com/omnLZccOLD — Clare Sudbery (@ClareSudbery) November 29, 2017 Watch: Picture: Pixabay Related Posts 12 sensational Western Cape campsites 30 May 2023 Love camping?
