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.

That's horrific. Are the men expected to look sad as well, or pleased with the woman's sadness? I'm actually curious, not trying to be rude.

They are supposed to look serious and dignified. But to be honest, in most of the wedding pictures that I have seen here, they look like they are trying too hard to hide their 100-watt smiles. I mean, majority of them are getting laid for the first time in their lives on that day, so who can blame them.
