You have a story. All you need is someone to tell it.


A Tamil wedding is a traditional wedding ceremony that takes place among people of Tamil origin, usually from South India or Sri Lanka. The ceremony is a vibrant and joyous occasion that typically involves several rituals and customs that are steeped in tradition.

One of the most important aspects of a Tamil wedding is the exchange of garlands between the bride and groom, which is called the "Maalai Maatral" ceremony. The groom and his family then go to the bride's house for the "Ponnu Pathinettam" ceremony, which is the formal acceptance of the bride into the groom's family.

Another important ritual is the "Kanyadaanam" ceremony, in which the bride's father gives her hand in marriage to the groom. This is followed by the "Mangalya Dharanam" ceremony, in which the groom ties a sacred thread, called the "mangalsutra", around the bride's neck to signify their union.

There are also several other customs and traditions that take place during a Tamil wedding, such as the "Oonjal" swing ceremony, the "Kumkum Archana" ceremony, and the "Saptapadi" ritual, where the couple takes seven vows and walks around the sacred fire.

Overall, a Tamil wedding is a beautiful and elaborate ceremony that is steeped in tradition and culture. It is a celebration of love and union between two families, and is a wonderful occasion to witness and be a part of.
