Weddingz Advice #24: Should I look married after my marriage?

“Should I look married after my marriage?” is a question that has plagued every bride at some point or the other. Fret not, dear brides, for we will give you the best ways to tackle these tricky situations! Although sindoor, mangalsutra etc are essential parts of the wedding rituals, they need not necessarily be included in your day to day life. Now, if you want to flaunt them, that’s completely fine too! Besides, you can always take them off once you step out of the home! *wink*

Today, we bring to you every mark of a married woman and how to wear/not wear it. Confused? Read on to find out our take on these!

Traditionally worn to denote a woman’s marital status, sindoor or vermillion today is completely a woman’s choice – whether she chooses to wear it not. If you think it’s not you, you need not do it! But if you want to and are not sure about the style statement, check out any image of Rekha and you will know what we are talking about! Remember, if in an emergency, red lipsticks always work fine as sindoor 😉. Don’t forget to take a cue from any Triple K soaps to learn about the multiple ways you can flaunt this look.

Choora Liya Hai?

Well, your choora will not make your man sing “Chura liya hai tumne” (see what we did there?), trust us! We agree that it looks absolutely gorgeous with your wedding attire but some women find it a little cumbersome to jog, write and do other stuff with the heavy bangles. Need a way out? Why not tell your saas that you do not want to damage them during daily work as it might be unlucky? 😉

If your reaction is something like the above, then it is definitely not for you! After all, many of us cannot wear accessories due to many reasons – you know, like allergies and choice!

Flaunt it. Do not flaunt it. It’s your rock and it should be your choice!

Dress Like a Chandelier

Well, if it makes you smile through tears, we say why bother? Of course, you will look like a million dollars when you finally wear that gorgeous wedding lehenga again! But it’s no saas bahu soap and no one can board the train or metro in a dus kilo ki sari.

Like we said, if you like it, flaunt it like a boss! Many women wear bangles and bindis with skirts and other ethnic outfits and look no less than a diva. On the other hand, we have leather jacket clad women on bikes and spikes who are married too.

What makes you married is your commitment and love towards each other. When the men can get away with carrying Tupperware dabbas to office as a sign of holy matrimony, why can’t we? 😉
