Hello my name is Alex, I am currently writing a college research paper on contrasting two specific characteristics in two modern religious faiths. I have chosen love and marriage rituals between a Brahmin Hindu marriage and a typical Christian marriage. So far I have emailed requests to over 30 different Hindu priests in order to have an email interview, but no one is interested. My paper is due in two days and all I need is a Hindu interview to finish off my paper.
Thank you for your time, it is greatly appreciated! Please feel free to expand or add in details such as Hindu words. This will officially be included in my college research paper. I am just trying to get as much detail as possible so I am able to compare and contrast between a Christian wedding.
1. What does a Hindu wedding symbolize?
2. Where does a Hindu wedding ceremony take place?
3. What clothes are worn at a Hindu wedding ceremony?
4. How long does a Hindu wedding ceremony last?
5. What can I expect to see at a Hindu wedding ceremony? Are there any special customs or rituals?
6. Is there a certain day of the week or time of day that a Hindu wedding takes place?
7. How many guests usually attend?
8. What is the reception like?
9. What kinds of foods are offered at a wedding reception?
10. Do guests bring gifts?
11. Are any rings exchanged between the bride and groom, or vows, or kisses?
12. Does anyone give the bride away?
13. Do the brides and grooms parents play a role in the wedding ceremony?
14. Is there a honeymoon afterwards?
15. Does the bride take the grooms last name?
16. Is there a required period of courtship before the wedding?
17. Is there a best man or maid of honor in a Hindu wedding?
18. Does the priest receive payment for conducting the wedding?
19. How different is a wedding for a Brahmin Hindu marriage or Vivaah Sanskar?
Yours sincerely
Alex Hayley Riley
