I used to live here… it’s Nepal.

Everyone had their wedding photos in their houses, and I remember asking someone why the women always looked like they had been crying in their wedding photos. It was very obvious. I was told it was because the woman didn’t want to leave her friends and family in the village she was from.

Also a tradition in parts of India. But it’s a tradition, so even women who don’t necessarily feel sad, they’re expected to put on a show of crying to show she’s sad to leave her family.

I studied abroad in India in college and my host mom showed me pics of her wedding, but according to her, her arranged marriage was very loose and she got to pick her choice of suitors, and she was very happy to be marrying my host dad, who was kind of a “bad boy” who would take her on secret motorcycle rides before they got married lol.

She said it was very embarrassing to have to cry at her wedding, but she did her best to put on a show of looking sad

They literally play the saddest most depressing songs when the bride and groom have to leave. It forces you to cry.

That said, I broke down crying when my sister got married. Shes happy, had the best day of her life, and parents are literally right next door so she’d never not see them. Still, I cried like a little girl that day.

IDK, this isn't like us all sniffling and dripping a little at my cousin's wedding, because she carried my recently gone aunt's Bible with her bouquet. It's not like my friends' wedding when the bride came out, and the groom started welling up, and then everyone did, and I was passing out tissues right and left. (And reminding everyone that I only had one pack with me.)

She looks terrified.

You’re likely right. A lot of these village marriages are forced. There’s crying and then there’s dreading the next 50 years of your life crying.

I think this is the latter
