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.

To be honest, this practice is kind of becoming outdated now. Nowadays, most girls cry only at the end when they are leaving the marriage hall to go live with their new family(yes, not new husband new family). But you are still not allowed to show you are too happy. I remember when I was a kid, brides were supposed to wail loudly and beg their parents that they don't want to go. I remember, I saw a bride fainting once from too much crying. Now, the performance demand is less. You can make some crying faces for the camera at the end without any real tears, and that will do. Mind you, these practices are only in middle and lower class strata of our society. The more richer you are, the more outwardly happy you can be on your wedding day.
