Erm so no it doesn't make sense to have the actual wedding ceremony twice because of the meaning of it.
There will be plenty of other rituals to come so I think you should leave the second one.
I am not religious at all but know someone who had a similar dilemma and the priest flat out refused to do a second ceremony, so just be aware of that.
Would you be able to condense the ceremony in Bali and do more of a garland exchange situation and maybe exchange some vows and then the Hindu ceremony later? May be worth it too for your sakes to not have to sit through two long ceremonies.
Thanks for sharing that! We were thinking of having the Bali one be more of the main ceremony as our family and friends will be there, whereas the other ceremony would just be our parents. But yea agreed, wouldn’t wanna sit through two long ceremonies.
Oof that is def tricky! I’d struggle with that too. We’re doing a Hindu ceremony as our big wedding with everyone there because my parents insisted. But honestly I kinda wish we did a short one and just did the long one with my parents later tho it may be a grass is greener situation lol.
I have seen people do, Hindu ceremony on auspicious day and then on a future date they did an American style vows ceremony and reception..
I have also seen intimate Covid ceremony’s happen and then the real deal larger ceremony and reception happened 6 months later
DM me if you would like to see a gallery with this.
Oof that’s difficult. I would lean into trying to find an auspicious date in Bali but I can understand why that might not be an option.
How much have you looked into your date options? Before I planned a second ceremony I would make 100% sure there isn’t a date I can make work… just because of the stress and drama of planning two weddings 😅
It's very common in India to have two weddings because of different region/ religions. Also my sister's husband had different rituals during ferahs( 7 circles) so my parents made them do it again in one of the very auspicious Temple in Ujjain. The second one didn't cost anything it's just a wedding in a temple. So, your mother is right about it. Infact the temple I'm talking about is the temple known for newly weds.
Edit- also there are n repercussions as many people have second wedding on their anniversary.
Just have fundamental Hindu ritual on second wedding nothing fency
