Katy Perry pierced her nose for her Saturday wedding?

katy-perry-nath.jpgKaty Perry is a "California Gurl." But she's reportedly having a very traditional Indian wedding -- henna hand tattoos, nose ring chain and white horse -- this Saturday.

The Daily Mail reports that Katy (with fiance Russell Brand) arrived at the Jaipur airport on Wednesday (Oct 20) and Katy was already sporting the Indian bridal nose ring called a nath.

The traditional nath is a gold chain attached to a nose ring, draped across the bride's right cheek and pinned to her hair. Katy was seen wearing the golden nath at Heathrow airport, so she must have gotten the piercing done in London.

Let's just hope the darn thing doesn't get infected. That could totally bum out a wedding day. Not mention the honeymoon.

According to tradition, the bride wears the nath on the wedding day. The bridegroom removes it on the wedding night as a symbol of the bride's virginity ending. Um, OK.

The couple's wedding will take place at the same hotel - the luxurious Rambagh Palace. That's where Russell popped the big question on New Year's Eve, just three months after they began dating.

The Daily Mail reports that Rihanna will be Katy's maid of honor. There will also be fireworks, a band and live music from hip-hop star P Diddy. And in traditional Hindu style, Russell will reportedly arrivie on a white horse. So that's where that came from!

Just checking out the Hindu vows to be made by the husband, we're already liking India's wedding vows better than ours:

I will consider my wife to be The better half. I will look after her just as I look after myself.

Accepting her as in-charge of the my home, I shall plan things in consultation with her.

I will never express dissatisfaction about any shortcomings in my wife. If there are any, I will explain them to her lovingly. I will support her in overcoming them.

I will always have faith in my wife. I will never look at another woman with wrong intent, nor have an illicit relationship.

I will be affectionate and treat my wife like a friend.

I'll bring home all my income to my wife. The household expenses will be incurred with her consent. I will always make an effort to ensure her comfort and happiness.

I will not find fault or critical my wife before others. We will sort out our differences and mistakes in privacy by ourselves.

I will have a courteous and tolerant attitude towards my wife. I will always follow a compromising policy.

If my wife is unwell, or is unable to fulfill some of the responsibilities or through some misunderstanding behaves wrongly, I will not withdraw support or refuse to fulfill my responsibilities towards her

Anyone else for a traditional Indian wedding?

nice vows, but just like our own traditional American-style vows, people don't really do those things.

"According to tradition, the bride wears the nath on the wedding day. The bridegroom removes it on the wedding night as a symbol of the bride's virginity ending. Um, OK."

'Um, ok': Wow, what a derogatory way to finish explaining a custom to which you're not familiar with.

It may not be a white dress, but it's still a tradition that is revered in another culture. Have some respect, mate.

Too bad in India they pierce the LEFT side of the nose!!! She could have looked into that before she went and put the hole in her face!
