Today, brides<span> prefer to </span>have<span> their </span>henna<span> done prior to the mehndi night so that they can enjoy the festivities and also </span>have<span> a deeper stain by the wedding day. Tradition holds that for as long as the </span>henna<span> stain appears on the </span>bride<span>, she doesn't </span>have to do<span> any housework!</span>
