Ceremonialism:

The traditional Hindu wedding has many rituals. Starting with the engagement and the arrival of the groom at the bride's residence often in a formal procession. "A Hindu wedding ceremony at it's core is essentially a Vedic yajna ( a fire-scarifice), in which the Aryan deities are invoked in the Indo-Aryan style". This also is a deep bond of friendship and alliance. Here is a Hindu woman wearing her wedding dress. The dress is designed by Saree, famous for her bridal gown designs. Notice the elaborate work, lace, beading and the beautiful jewelry.
