what abt toe rings

Can't wait for my cousins wedding next week! Traditional Indian wedding. This was very refreshing to read.

Indian weddings can go all out when it comes to the wedding but in recent weddings I have attended, I have seen brides wear artificial jewelry and I can tell by the number of Jems. You see the jewelry in these images is actually artificial because if a bride were to where real necklaces, notice the plural, she would suffer major neck cramps and typically no one really has SO many real gems on their hair, ears, nose, neck, forehead, hands, arms, and feet it would hurt trust me I have felt the pain. Obviously I was not wearing some jewelry item in everyplace I have mentioned but I have in quite a few. I'm not saying it's a bad thing though I prefer real, but it's the next thing you have
