Interesting, I never knew that...I suppose thats not bad, it's quite sentimental.

My mum had full-on chund when she got married.

plus it signifies she's under the protection of both families and their honour...which is one of those sikh traditions which match to sikhiya of Guru ji

my Masi's girl was pretty simple tastes like myself but when her folks saw that suit she picked the night before they took her out to get heaviest lengha possible , we are talking five foot 4  barely 100 pounds girls carrying 30 pounds of material . Her bros literally had to help her move around to do lavan and her masian bhabi help her stand and sit .... madness

It's the lining in those lenghe lol.

This is actually quite touching ngl. You said one from saure and one from naanke though...did you mean from daadke and naake? If not please explain.

Thanks.

it is naanke and dadke.

not only she has the protection of both the families but she represents both families also in her lifestyle.

Notice how we don't have any women involved in this conversation Sikhi is on life support.

when the chunni rasam is done that chunni given by Saure is used under the nanake one as traditionally the nanake of the girl buy the ananda da suit.

Also it can be seen as a double hand of blessing on the head of the bride

I was not aware of this...I haven't seen any girls wear the one from the Chunni rasam at the actual vivaah. Is this whats making a comeback then?

I don't know if it ever went away in my family because they stuck to sikh traditions . Because everything is so bling bling now the chunni given now by most saure would probably be super heavily embroidered (status) so stitching two heavy heavy chunnis would make zero sense (think clash of material of top chunni with jewells gota etc etc larlam parlam on saure chunni) . Traditionally the chunni put by saure is simple flattish embroidery possibly gold thread , a little edging , even just a pretty simple phulkari (mine was light pink with gold thread).

Now the whole dress up like a bollywood star thing is so prevalent people don't even think of the meaning of anything , let alone the deep sentiments behind them.

I see. I will ask some ladies about this. My sisters and most of my cosuin sisters had very light chunnis like the ones you describe but I still do not recall them wearing it on the actual wedding day; could this perhaps be a regional tradition? 

I also get the sense that a lot of Gursikhs are moving away from many of these old tradtions whether Punjabi or Sikh ones even if they are do not contradict Sikhi because of the usual rhetoric i.e. ritualism, manmat, false information, or simply deemed unnecessary.

it's not impossible to do just akkl nu hath maar :

 

If you can't manage your heavy chunni get mum on the job or your masian :

or if you are totally paranoid about doing beabhi:

 

yes now that's a head covering. But that veil just looks stupid!  why would you veil yourself before guru ji. just another paki inspired fashion.
