> [@Zsofia](#): > > I went with the modern dress but took pictures with my grandmother’s dress as well. I put it up to a vote and everybody voted modern, which I suppose is fine - however, after a whole day of doing bridal photos in my modern dress putting on my grandma’s dress, which had seemed restrictive before, was a breath of fresh air! I was a little afraid I’d pop a seam if I sat down in it, though! > > Hope it doesn’t steal your thunder (well, there’s no way it could - seriously, you can’t top an Indian bride in full regalia!) but here’s a few pictures - [Grandma’s dress](http://www.flickr.com/photos/62555962@N00/8506339815/in/photostream), [modern dress](http://www.flickr.com/photos/62555962@N00/8506339737/in/photostream), and my favorite [bitchface picture](http://www.flickr.com/photos/62555962@N00/8507454132/in/photostream). “Those motherfucking napkins had better be ivory this time! I will take a finger for each off-white napkin! And nobody tell me to smile!” > > I can’t really get over the makeup thing, either. I almost never wear it IRL and it was like another weird part of the crazy costume. Not at all…you looked AMAZING. And let me shamefacedly say that while I voted for modern dress in your original poll, wow, Grandmas dress looks awesomesauce with the veil on. Love it! Thank you for adding your pics. ---

What an amazeballs time you’re having with the start-up and the wedding. My husband is in Bangalore on business right now and I’m negotiating with him to bring me home some swag. 🙂 You look awesome and happy, congrats! I love all the gold and bright colours. I wish Western weddings had all that. The last picture, your husband has a design on the palm of his hand. What does it mean? (My poor husband has mostly gone to Chennai for business in the past, and to Dehli but never Bangalore. He’s been in Singapore for a week and then KL and at the last minute they said, hey, don’t go home, go to Bangalore, so he’s stressy and jet-lagged and living out of a suitcase. He mis-read the map and thought Bangalore was in Tamil Nadu. Sweet, he thought, I speak about 50 words of Tamil, I’ll just greet and thank people like I do in Chennai - his Indian staff love that he tries to speak the language and the ones that work for him here are all from Chennai so they teach him Tamil. But as you know, Bangalore, as it turns out, is NOT in Tamil Nadu. It’s in Karnataka. Where they mostly speak Kannada. ☹ He was so embarrassed, although apparently Tamil is also widespread and they understood him. He works really hard to make sure he can greet and thank people in their own languages, so he was absolutely mortified.)
