one of my childhood neighbors got married a few years ago, and the guy she was marrying was Indian and she's white, so they did a two day wedding! one that went with Indian traditions and one that went with western traditions. i was invited to both and they were both so fun!!! they were both beautiful, and i had only ever been to western weddings (and not too many even of those) so getting to go to an Indian wedding was really cool and such a good experience. they seemed so happy at both!!!
I hope all these things happen for you when finally get to make it happen!
I love that before the marriage part it's kind of an alternation between the cultures, and then after the marriage part it's a very blended chautari/groom's mum's party moment. That feels very representative of the fact that you're becoming "one flesh" and all that 🙂
You are going to be made so welcome here in Glasgow Shaaba. Make sure you bring a LOT of ££££ for Edinburgh, it's very expensive do to lots of touristy things.
I can totally relate to this video, I am British/welsh and Jewish and my partner’s family is Pakistani and Muslim. We are also having a fusion wedding next year and we had a lot of thoughts about the nikah and the Jewish ceremony. There are imams who are liberal and fully accepting but in the end we decided against because it was more for his parents than for him. We are having a Jewish interfaith blessing that will be adapted by the rabbi because like you both, neither of us are converting to the other’s faith. But it’s so exciting to plan and I’m so glad that we have the privilege of putting together such a vibrant mix of both our traditions. We will definitely be smashing the glass, and we will be having a mehndi and I cannot wait.
suuuuuuuiiiiii
So, two years later… how's the whole eloping thing sound?
I am so excited for you! My husband is a transman and we just got engaged!
In Poland the wedding reception (full of fun party games and drinking games) finishes like a club night, could be 6am. Then on the next day there is a more informal affair (called "the corrections"), where you eat the leftovers and fight your hangover.
You guys this sounds absolutely exciting!!!!
I hope you guys are able to continue with your plans, even though 2020 was horrific and delayed many things. Still congrats.
My wife and I had a very small wedding first a registry office ceremony followed by a Hindu wedding in the 'purane mandir' in Glasgow. Neelam's sisters all had bigger weddings later on. They had the ladie's Sangeet as well as the Mehendi. One of my sisters in law and her husband were piped into the reception. My daughter had a fusion wedding. They had a registry office wedding but as non religious types no religious ceremony. The groom's men all wore kilts, our family wore Asian cloths. There is something spectacular about a dancefloor filled with saris and kilts.
Shaaba 'You need to try Asian sweets, put it on your bucket list,'
Me – Okay
Shaaba 'Lists what is in them'
Me – I can't eat them
Was wondering if it's hurtful for me to ask that when you do your video would you please use much less hand gestures. I wonder if others find it distracting as I do? I find the content very interesting. I wish this had been available years ago. I had a family member was born with ambiguous genitals. He lived an extremely difficult ,lonely and secret life. There was no spoken language for his condition at least to him.
Did I miss you mentioning ceilidhs?
I remember the 3rd day of the wedding I attended for my uncles wedding 😂😂
My uncle was literally 2 houses away but they still drove my aunt to his house 😂 (this happened in Bangladesh)
Southeast Asian parties are the best. Much much better than western weddings. I used to work at a banquets hall. Asian and African people know how to throw a wedding.
I certainly haven't gotten married yet, but my S.O and I have been talking about the idea and ours would be a fusion of vietnamese-asian and german culture so its a WONDER what that would be like specially since German culture has alot with alcohol like the Irish so XD
22:10 you can go, stay in Glasgow (the best place) and have a day trip to Edinburgh, they are so close to each.
I’m so excited for you guys! I saw your video about your wedding possibly being delayed until next year and I’m very sad that we might not get to see all of the wonderful things that you have planned this year. But regardless of when it happens I just know it’s going to be so beautiful. You guys are the best. Wishing you all the luck!
Dose Indian culture have engagement parties? I was reading a Reddit story, and a girl from India was talking about attending her friend's engagement party. They made it sound almost like a wedding reception. Is this a common thing, or is it even a thing?
You are mauritian but aren't you technically indian as well ? You even put that in your title 'asian'. Do you not prefer to identify yourself as indian or you just prefer Mauritain as your ethnicity becasue you were raised up in that culture? This looks like a hate comment but I have a similar situation where i'm indian but my parents and I were born somewhere else and now i dont what ethnic background I should identify with in forms.
Byrani is a thing that many southeast asian people eat like my family are from Bangladesh and we have byrani and its a primarily Muslim country as well
I'm curious how my wedding will be. Technically not engaged but sort of "unofficially engaged" as we agreed we will marry, just not yet. My family has very few wedding traditions and neither of us have any clue what his family traditions are for weddings but his family is Mexican and definitely has different traditions. We just don't know them
Shaaba…you are so adorable.
Interstitial marriage was illegal in America in my parents lifetime and it was illegal for a trans man to marry a woman in my child’s lifetime, we have come a long way. That filter makes your skin colour look even more amazing then normal, I’m half Irish and VERY white, my half Nigerian daughter points and laughs at my whiteness lol 😂
Coconut….
I'm Asian & Muslim, I had my nikah earlier in the year, this was an interesting video but there were a few "mistakes" in the description of the nikah lol. The men & women don't need to be segregated for the nikah, the bride & groom are allowed to be sat/stood next to each other during the nikah ceremony. Qabool just means "I do" in hindi/urdu, so it can be said in any language, I had an English speaking imam for my nikah & I said mine in English. The mahr/dowry is a gift from the husband to the wife & it can be whatever she wants, it doesn't have to be money or a specific amount, it can be anything the bride wants for example a pet cat, a holiday, £50k etc, & it gets written down in the nikah/marriage certificate. I don't think a nikah would be disrespectful to the religion & there are imams in the UK that officiate ceremonies for LGBTQ community. Your fusion wedding sounds like it'll be amazing, good luck with all the planning
What was the name of that beautiful island your grandparents are from?
Asian is such an umbrella term- Asia has 48 countries and the way you generalize, this clearly shows either you are ashamed of telling your country of origin or you are totally unaware of the cultural differences that these countries have. Chinese origin Muslims behave very differently than some Iranian Muslim- So, just be specific. Also, if Jammy's scotish parents make him a Scottish, how your "Asian" (Indian or Bangladeshi for sure) parents don't make you that? However, I totally know what you mean. It's even offensive not to call you a British. You are and so does Jammy. By the way, I love you and Jammy together. You are very lovely together.
What do you feel about white people wearing a sari, or henna, to an Asian wedding where the wedding couple/their family are?
I am from India and I know every single thing which you said like nikaah or mehndi. No matter where you live , you will always be our Indian sister. I also live in Europe(Ukraine) but I can say that once an Indian always an Indian. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇺🇦🇺🇦😘😘
Hey, I'm from Turkey and we have almost the same wedding traditions with Asian weddings 🙂 <3
OMG I love this fusion! It sounds like so much fun and such a wonderful mix!
I really like the idea of a mini-moon actually. That's really cool to know, so thanks. I'll be debating that option with my fiance now xD
New subscriber here, I had come across an article in the newspaper about you and Jamie a while ago and just stumbled upon your channels yesterday. I think you are a lovely couple together and wish you lots of fun and happiness planning the wedding and enjoying your marriage. I don't know how to do emojies, but I would put up lots of hearts here if I did ;)!
Love love love this video!! but also I think a lot of times she says asian when it's a much more specific tradition? I get that her identity is much more broad so it makes sense though.
I’m so excited for you and love how much you have researched this and are having fun planning! I love the Mauritian + Scottish fusion, you explained it really well in a way that was fun and educational!
Hey sort of personal question but, I know your family is more accepting of Jamie now, but what about your extended family? I am also Indian and LGBT (gay) and I fear that after fighting for acceptance with my family I'm just gonna have to deal with a bunch of relatives that hate me. And ya know…. Indian families really value extended family and all that
