...Loved Raga's wedding invitation card...it said 'we r tying the knot' and there was this knotted satin piece...
Tying the knot(physically) in a marriage has been a very Indian custom...surprising (mebbe it has no relation to the indian custom) it has found its way to the english language...

not very surprising actually..
before engagement rings came around.. couples wore knotted beads/cords around various parts of their bodies.. to show their union..
even durin catholic weddings.. if u notice.. the old custom was.. when the priest makes the groom n bride recite their vows.. their hands r held together.. n the places a sash over their hands.. i suspect in earlier times.. it must have been an actual rope tat bound them.. but with time.. it became a more civilised sash..
im sure if u look around further.. more cultures still have some form of "tying the knot" to symbolize marriage..
enuf of the gyaan .. hey sam.. wens raaga's wedding re???
ho gaya kya???
