[quote=Anonymous]Context: both DH and I are Indian; our parents are Hindu

- threw an engagement party for me and DH and physically dragged me around their house during the party telling me to touch all of their friends’ feet (they said it was a custom in their family; later found out the custom is not for women, and definitely not physically something to be forced upon someone)

- at the wedding ceremony brought this weird head covering for DH to wear and then a fabric head covering for me that they put on during the ceremony that covered both of our heads even though I asked beforehand if there were any customs they wanted to follow and they said nothing. All of our wedding pictures are ruined.

- drove down their own priest to our wedding hosted by my parents - he grabbed the mike from the priest that my parents hired to do the ceremony after it was over and started chanting in Sanskrit (guests and all of us were horrified)

- at the wedding reception hosted by my parents told the dj that it was DH’s mother’s birthday that day and that he should make an announcement to sing her happy birthday (he did and guests proceeded to sing her happy birthday at our reception)

- took one of the wedding gifts that was meant for me and DH and texted me to send a thank you note for it

This is just the stuff related to our wedding. So much more that I could on about.
