Vidaai
The bride's departure from her parents' home after the wedding.
The vidaai is the tearful end of the wedding: the bride leaves with the groom's family, traditionally throwing rice back over her shoulder to repay her parents' home. It is brief and it is the moment most families remember.
For couples who will live abroad, the vidaai is often followed by an airport, which is one reason NRI families think about where the couple will settle before the wedding rather than after.
