An emotional farewell as the bride leaves her parental home to start her new life
About Vidaai Ceremony
Vidaai is perhaps the most emotional moment of any Indian wedding. Modern couples are adding meaningful touches like creating time capsules with family letters, recording video messages from loved ones, and having professional photographers capture these intimate moments. Some families also create keepsake books with childhood photos and memories, making the transition both respectful of tradition and personally meaningful.
