We wanted a chance to celebrate Vicky's and the Mayor's wedding around the world! So this contest is for group entries but needs to focus on wedding attire from around the globe. This contest needs at least two entry participants, but is open to as many as wanted in a group entry. A reference picture is mandatory in this contest, and some information regarding the customs pictured is also needed.

So, the idea I've been mentioning for this contest is a Nikah, a simple Muslim wedding which is basically a groom and bride agreeing to marry and signing a contract.

There are a few main roles to portray in this ceremony.

Subscribing~

fireprincess 08-04-2014 07:43 PM

If everyone else agrees, I'd be fine with a nikah

Ascadellia 08-04-2014 07:44 PM

It looks so colorful.
I believe that gold is a main color. Gold with red or purple and gold? Or maybe green?

neller 08-04-2014 07:45 PM

It seems that Red is dominant (at least from what I've read), though other colors are included. Gold is used for accents. But there's a lot of accents.

Ascadellia 08-04-2014 07:47 PM

Mmhm. XD a lot of it. So, red and gold to be the theme~?
Which part would you like to be, Neller?

neller 08-04-2014 07:50 PM

I think I'd either like to be the bride or a family member at the dohlki. :) I'm leaning towards the family member!

bloodstainedwings 08-04-2014 08:07 PM

i actually would love to be the bride. if everyone else is ok with it?

Ascadellia 08-04-2014 08:09 PM

I am fine with those choices.~

Xogizmoox 08-04-2014 08:10 PM

hey neph! whats going on?

neller 08-04-2014 11:31 PM

Yay! Nephy will join us!!!

Is anyone willing to create male avatars? If not, I suppose I can be the husband. :)

And bsw, I love her! I'm wondering if there is red hood that would look good?

bloodstainedwings 08-04-2014 11:33 PM

i was wondering the same thing... lets see what i find

Nephila 08-04-2014 11:37 PM

I would be but I don't know how much gold that would end up costing. If it's more than the 1st place...meh,,,

bloodstainedwings 08-04-2014 11:52 PM

so... the only thing i could come up with is the golden veil... what do you think? improvement or hindrance?

Ascadellia 08-05-2014 12:07 AM

I can try my hand at being the groom. Let's see. XD
You can be a family member, Nells.
I wonder what time the event ends tomorrow.

Nephila 08-05-2014 12:11 AM

oh... I just tried it. I think different pants though.

Ascadellia 08-05-2014 12:14 AM

Different pants may be better. Would there be any?

Nephila 08-05-2014 12:17 AM

The oriental ones look like they would work well. I just have to see if they come in female.

bloodstainedwings 08-05-2014 12:18 AM

Nephila 08-05-2014 12:21 AM
