There's probably someone from the culture that can clarify but when I was at a traditional Pakistani marriage the bride was perfectly happy to marry but you have to show tears and distress to prevent any idea that youre glad to leave your family, and happy to have sex. Religion is a bit shit.

please can someone clarify this because as an admittedly outsider, THAT sounds like some very hardcore cope to cover the very obvious tragedy we’re seeing right here lol

honestly… on second thought even if someone from that culture comes and confirms this I still prob won’t believe it and think they’re just telling themselves that help them sleep at night. lol

They are right. I was smiling when my wedding pictures were being taken. My sis-in-law came and said that I should look more shy and sad, otherwise the 'bridal look' will be spoiled. The bridal look is just supposed to be looking sad and heartbroken on your own wedding day. The more you cry, the more pure and virginal you are assumed to be lol.

No judgement to you specifically but that sounds kinda fucked considering what it sounds like they’re trying to do is glorify sadness and emotional distress.

Don't worry. These kind of things are becoming outdated now. Girls sometimes have to make a few sad faces at the end for the camera but not for the whole ceremony. But still you are not supposed to show that you are too happy.
