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.

Supriya,
Very nice tradition. Even in ours, I believe during "Vilayadal" or "Nalangu", a tray of such useful items for the bride are given along with a dress or sari/blouse.Posted 23rd June 2009 at 12:09 PM by sundarusha -
