For many brides, the search for the perfect wedding dress is the culmination of their wedding preparations.

Marriage (vivāha, leading the bride away from the parental home) in Hinduism is one of the many samskāras, religious rites, performed in the life of a Hindu.

Marriage is a socially and ritually recognized union between spouses who have rights and duties between them and their children.

Marriage traditions and customs vary widely across cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and social classes.
