Need some opinions please
I wasn't too sure where to post this but I trust I will get some good insight here
I am an American (of European descent) and I just recently married an Indian man in Mumbai. We had a fairly traditional Hindu wedding. I'm back in the states now filing for his visa to come live with me. Daily I wear red bindi, kumkum/sindoor, bangles and of course mangalsutra since our marriage. My parents are 100% fine with it but some people have displayed their frustrations with it. Their negativity has me now wondering, is it okay for me to wear these things? In your eyes would it be weird or bad to see a woman like me wearing these?

Re: Need some opinions please
These Bindi , Sindoor and Mangal sutra is called Suhag Ki Nishaani (Marriage Symbol In Hindu tradition). If you wish you can if you are not comfortable then that is your wish. You can wear you engagement ring instead of these traditional things..
Now the tradition changing a bit, In your culture is not looking nice you can avoid it as Love and understanding only make the relationship strong. Not others.. Just have a talk with your hubby make him understand about it... Hope he will agree for this.
Or.... let people to talk of it and after some time they stop bothering about it.

Be an American.
Give your husband your love and affection.
Don't bother about other things.

Wearing such tradition things are ok but I guess you are overdoing it. I guess you should observe normal Indian woman and take idea from them how they manage tradition as well as fit in society.
And don't take Bollywood movies as example.

It's OK, just do what you like, enjoy your own life and don't care too much about others.
