At a Bengali wedding, a bride was supposed to get down on the groom’s feet to get ashirwaad. But this time the Bengali groom did the same with the bride, when the bride gets down to touch his feet to seek his blessings, he did the same and touched her feet to seek her blessings.

I’m at a wedding with female pandits. They introduce the bride as the daughter of <mother’s name> and <father’s name> (mom first!!!). The bride’s dad gave a speech saying he wasn’t doing kanyadaan because his daughter wasn’t property to give away. 🔥🔥🔥 I’m so impressed. pic.twitter.com/JXqHdbap9D
