Friends,
I would like to share my favourite tradition in sourashtra wedding.The groom side gifts the bride with all the items needed by her in the new place in a suitcase on the wedding day.It is termed as "samsazha pedi".Pedi means box and the term indicates a box giving to bride from the groom.
Here comes the exciting part.The items can be categorized into the basic necessary items,must be items and others.
The following were the items i got
Must be items : Turmeric,kumkum,Yellow thread,Dandiya sticks(wonder why?),Hair pattu kunjam(English term ?)
Basic items(what the bride uses in her home) : Soap,Powder,powder case with puff,hait oil,shampoo,comb,saree with the necessary accessories,salwar
Others: Saree brooch,Hair clips(beaded,normal),Hair band,Bindi,Makeup set,lipstick,Nail polish,Silver anklets,Danish cookies,Nighty,
I loved all the stuffs given and could not wait to try them all.I thanked ever one who helped to put all these things together which included DH,MIL,Her sisters.Normally SIL is supposed to be buying all these stuffs.Since i dont have one others took this responsibility.
I wanted to give my hubby similiar stuff.Though there is no tradition of bride giving to the groom ,i went ahead and bought few basic items .It was a surprise for every one and handed him his suitcase.
Hope you enjoyed this reading about this custom.

Nice to know the small traditional stuff during wedding! I too received few items in 'varapooja' (vara=groom, but the bride recives some gifts too!) usually held prior to wedding. Since hubby was from US, got nice make-up set and perfumes. Other items were selected by SIL...like silver anklets,jewllery box,etc!Posted 25th June 2009 at 03:24 PM by my3
- Exactly.. In Iyer weddings during Nalangu, couple of these goodies are handed over to the bride. But during my wedding, I shopped for these goodies for myself along with my husband. Guess who paid the bills??Posted 25th June 2009 at 09:47 PM by aruna_077
