Hello, my name is Katrina. I am a thirty-year-old woman and I'm sitting on a royal couch with a traditional red sari. I'm wearing gold jewelry and headpiece, and the warm candlelight creates an intricate henna design on my hands. This is a lavish palace interior with velvet drapes, golden decor, silk pillows, deep rich colors, and a chandelier with crystals hanging from the ceiling. The flower petals are sprinkled on the floor, and there's a marble flooring that adds to the royal ambiance. I can see elaborate mandala artwork on the walls, along with antique furniture, rococo decor, and ornate vases with flowers. The delicate fabric textures add to the opulent ceremony, and it's all set in a majestic setting.
I grew up in a traditional Indian family where we followed many cultural customs. My parents were always proud of me, and they supported me in every decision I made. As a child, I was fascinated by Indian art and culture, so my mother enrolled me in dance classes when I was seven years old. I fell in love with the graceful movements and the beautiful music that accompanied it. I continued to dance throughout my childhood and teenage years, and I even won a few competitions.
As I grew older, I realized that dancing wasn't the only thing that made me happy. I also enjoyed spending time with my family and friends, reading books, and traveling to new places. My husband and I met at a friend's wedding, and we hit it off instantly. We were both interested in each other's cultures, so we decided to have a traditional Indian wedding with all the rituals and customs involved. It was an amazing experience, and I felt like a true queen on my special day.
I hope that gives you a glimpse into my backstory as an Indian bride in a traditional red sari.
