I’ve been to one or to weddings and they have lots of effort and money put into them. The have flowers, family and friends. They also have a flower girl to throw out flowers. They celebrate by making loads of decorations and effects. There is yummy food as well.

I have only been to one wedding which was in 2014. It was my uncles wedding in India. The wedding was for 3 days. On day one we went to my uncles house for a pooja, which is when we pray. On day two we went to a place and there was a dance floor and everyone performed and listened to tremendously long speeches. On day three we went to a big field and there was a stage with a big throne which the bride and groom sat on. We started of with each family taking a photo with the bride and groom. Then the bride and groom stepped into a tower and the roof lifted and the bride and groom were elevated to the top. Soon after that everyone got to ate while listening to long speeches. A long time later the bride and groom walked around a fire but I wasn’t there for the whole think beck was sleeping in my aunts lap. I can’t remember what else we did but I do know I was very exhausted.
My mother recently went to my cousins wedding in the summer holidays.

I have never been to a wedding unfortunately. But I do know that they are very white pretty and very special. The bride wears a beautiful dress and the husband wears a nice black tusk. After the wedding the bride and groom have cake and dance at an after party. After they are married they go on a honeymoon. A honey moon is a holiday that they spend together.

I have been to the weddings that I know of and the one that I can remember the most is the second one, because I was the Grooms boy. That wedding  went for about three days overall. Unlike Australian weddings the bride and groom don’t kiss front of every one in Indian weddings. Instead they kiss in a room alone the day after. You don’t bring flowers up for the groom or bride but the closely related people go up with the bride and groom to get a photo when they give each other a ring. The food is the most tasty food I have ever ate before. The cake is amazing and there are lots and lots of fruits and other tasty Indian sweet. There are a lot of people who come to the weddings the that I go to. It is very loud and I useally  know everyone there. To conclude I would like to say that Australian weddings do have a lot of differences but not everything is the diffrent

Well I have only ever been to Indian weddings. I have been to quite a few because I have just a huge family! Our weddings are just filled with colour and fun. We have great entertainment and really cool stuff. Usually this is how a Indian wedding goes. You get there and there is always some music playing and you are welcomed. After you would sit down and the entertainment would start. Soon after the priest(pundit in Indian) would light the holy fire and the wedding vows would be said. The Indian wedding vows are alot  different and longer than the English ones. After, you would get the food there would be more entertainment. Soon after the bride and groom would leave first in and then the guests would. After that would be the end.

Unfortunately I have never gone to a wedding. I imagine a wedding to be white,sleek and very pretty. The only thing I wouldn’t enjoy would be how long the ceremony would take, I think my favourite thing about the wedding would be the cake.

I have been to a lot of weddings, but not one of them have been Australian. One of the recent weddings I went to was in the Christmas holidays last year, when my family went to India for one of my unlce's wedding. Unlike Australian weddings, Indian weddings are colourful and everyone gets to dress up in pretty clothes. The wedding celebrations went on for three days and by the end of it we were all very tired. The proper wedding ceremony was held at a big hall and the bride and bridegroom sat on fancy chairs on the stage. After the traditional rituals, everyone went up to have photos, one family at a time. After we had photos we got to have delicious food. This June we are going to India for another wedding for my cousin.

I have been to two weddings in India. My auntie's from my dad's side and uncle from my mom's. Both of the weddings were approximately eight hours long, and include many different ceremonies. But the wedding as a whole can be 3-7 days
long. There is many events such as: the ring ceremony, "Mehendi" which is when the bride gets puts henna on her hands and feet. Then there is the "Cocktail" party which is where you just have a dance, grab a few drinks and celebrate with your relatives, and get some pretty good food. The actual "Wedding" which is booked in a massive extravagant hall. Filled with beautiful decorations and many people in there best Sarees ( Which is traditional attire worn by women) and men sometimes where suits or kurtas ( Traditional attire for men). The bride get this decorated platform, which they get pictures with family and friends. They are actually standing there till the wedding ceremony starts. Soon after, the groom comes in a beautifully decorated car and everyone starts dancing (Bharat). Some weddings start at 7:30pm and Finnish around 3:00 am in the morning. The bride and groom are constantly moving here and there for these rituals. I nearly fell asleep. Finally when the last ceremony finnishes, everyone throws flowers. Tommorow the next day is when the bride says goodbye to her family, and I see blessed to have a new life

I went to a wedding in Fiji for my uncle and aunty and I was 2 years old.  I can’t really remember much because I was very young. It is a time when family and friends come together to celebrate getting married. There are lots of decorations and flowers and lots of yummy food.

I have never been to a wedding but when I am climbing at kangaroo Point I often see people getting ready for weddings. The bride wears a long white dress and the bridegrooms where black suits. The clothes their wear are very formal and pretty. At the weddings at Kangaroo Point, they put up gazebos and have food and drink.

When I was 7 years old, I went to my mum’s friend’s wedding. I was the flower girl, and I got to wear a pretty dress and got my hair professionally styled. I had a pretty basket which had different coloured petals in it. I threw the petals in front of the bride who was walking behind me with her two dogs. My mum was a bridesmaid, along with one of her friends, who walked in front of me. When we reached the front of all the guests, the bridesmaids and I stood to the side while the bride walked down the aisle with her father. Her father sat down and the groom (who was already in front of the guests) greeted her. The celebrant spoke about vows and other boring stuff, and I remember annoying my mum while we waited. Then the bride and groom said their vows and they both said “I do.” Then, they kissed, and the photographer took heaps of photos. We walked back down the aisle and the guests, bride, groom, bridesmaids, and I all headed to Kings Cliff Bowls Club.  The bride, groom, bridesmaids, and I rode in a Mustang Convertible to the Bowls Club. Everyone did some lawn bowling and had dinner.

I have been to a wedding recently. I have only been to an Indian wedding for my Aunty. We have a great time by eating food, watching the marriage and seeing the wonderful decorations of flowers, vibrant colours and statues of Gods and Godesses. It is so nice to see a couple so happy together. I even got to walk down the centre because we are close family. The couple have to walk in a circle around fire 7 or 9 times before they are officially married. It is amazingly happy to be at a wedding let alone be invited because you get to see a couple united for life.

Weddings are really nice and romantic. There is the wedding and then the reception after the wedding with only the invited. I have been a flower girl twice before and you get to get ready with the brides maids and the bride and you get pampered then you go ina special car to get to the wedding then you get ready to walk the isle. There is dancing at the end and dinner. They also have some food after the wedding. There are lots of photos.

I have been to lots of weddings and I will tell you one of them it was my dad’s brother wedding, before the day on the wedding ceremony, the boys family eat together with all their siblings as well as the girls and if you are on th boys side of the family and your dad is oldest out of all the siblings, his eldest child has to open the door for the groom and the bride when arriving at the wedding. People are expected to wear a casual shirt to attend the wedding and the wedding always has lots of food for the people attending to eat. At the end of the wedding their parents have to sign that they can marry each other and once that is done the people that has attended the wedding and the bride and groom goes to the boy house to celebrate their wedding and the people who are not getting married just get to know each other with the other family.This wedding was the smallest I have been to and also you get a big cake to eat before their parents sign the agreement. On the wedding there was lots of music and lots of singing and it was fun getting to know the other sides family and then on the second day after the wedding we all went shopping.

Weddings are the most beautiful thing it’s a union between two people. Last time I went to a wedding I was only 5 so I have a bit of a brisk memory. I only been to a Indian wedding. First thing first we would all meet up and have a traditional Hanna on our hands. The bride would get Hanna or Mandi (in my language) all over there hands. Then the couples would each get it the man would get there wives name on there hand and then the wives would get there husbands name on there hand. For the people that aren’t married you would just get designs on your hand. Next day we would have the actual wedding but nothing like the bride wearing a white dress and they walk down the isle but more of the bride wears a colour dress and we would gather around the pooja ( traditional circle) and family members would say a few words. Then they would kiss. After we would all dance and have dinner. A few more days of celebration and laughter and I forgot about that. But weddings are so beautiful and elegant. I think that a union between two people is so adorable an so romantic

Last year I went to one of our church friends weddings. The wedding was very formal, I enjoyed the wedding a lot  because we ate dinner at the reception with all our friends and we saw how the bride and the groom danced. The wedding was so much fun.

I have been to 1 wedding and that was my Aunty’s but I was 5 years old so I don’t remember much. There were lots of flowers and people, everyone was dressed nicely. It went for a long time. That is all I remember from my Aunty,s wedding.

I haven’t been to a wedding but I will write what I think it looks like. I think a wedding has lots of white decorations. I also think all the men has to wear black suits and the women has to wear a white dress. The last thing is flowers I think you don’t have to have flowers but it’s optional.

I have only been to Indian weddings. They are pretty cool and most of the time it’s colourful. Every time I go to India for a holiday there are atleast 3 weddings I have to go to. Weddings are pretty exciting for the brides and the grooms family because that event would be a significant event in their life.

I have never been to a wedding, or if I have I don’t remember. But I imagine that lots of people would attend and there would be a big ceremony. I think that everyone would be wearing their best clothes and the bride would be wearing a beautiful dress. People would be making boring ( in my opinion) speeches about the couple. I imagine there would be a lot of elaborate decorations.

I have been to one of my mother’s best friend’s daughter in Carins and it was beautiful. Many people attended and after the wedding we all had some time to spend with our friends because the wedding photographer had to take some pictures. After that everyone went to the reception (which is a place where you have dinner and some drinks) many peole prepared a toast ( which is when you raise your glass and say a blessing.) Finally after the wedding, my family went home and went to sleep.
