I was concerned because my perception of Indians is that of a very cultured group with many formalities. I appreciate your sharing the information that I won't be expected to sit on the floor; I had visions of not being able to get up gracefully. Thank you also for explaining that I don't 'bow' down my head because I am the groom's Mother. Your advice about researching the meaning behind all the rituals is so accurate. I've been doing an inordinate amount of research regarding the ceremony and I love knowing the meaning of each ritual. It's such a meaningful ceremony and I'm really looking forward to it. In closing, I appreciate your telling me not to worry and to have a good time...that's excellent advice and I will definitely heed it.
