Friends of desi groom arrive at wedding venue in Chicago wearing saree.
By Tiasa Bhowal: A video has been doing the rounds of the internet and for all the right reasons. It has triggered a discussion on social media for breaking stereotypes around gendered clothing. What is so special about the video, you ask? Well, two men turned up at their friend’s wedding venue clad in saree. Yes, that happened. The groom was absolutely baffled to see their ethnic outfits.
The desi groom’s “best men” aced the Indian look. The duo rounded off the ethnic outfit with a bindi each. After seeing his friends, the groom burst into laughter. You can also get a glimpse of the bride who was trying to get a sneak peek into what was happening at the venue. Their androgynous dressing was on point and received a lot of appreciation online.
The video was shared on Instagram by Chicago Wedding Videographers. It shows two men getting ready for their Indian friend’s wedding. However, they ditched a sherwani or kurta for a saree. Quite an out-of-the-box choice we must say, but everyone appeared to like it.
In the video, you can also see a woman assisting these boys to wear the saree. After getting ready, they walked down to the wedding venue.Just a typical wedding morning with the groom’s 2 best men walking down Michigan Ave in sarees,” the video caption reads.What are your thoughts?
