This is a common occurance in for example Morocco and turkey.  In hindu traditions the bride's family pay for all of the cost for the bride and the groom. inclusing his clothing. In hindu marriages there is no actual mehndi day. see:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_wedding   Actually The tradition of mehndi comes from muslim background. It is traditional for muslims all over the world for the groom to give the bridal clothes and jewelry before the wedding, so the bride can use these to prepare for the wedding.

But at least you know your uncles. I didn't know these aunties at all. In fact, I didn't even know the bride. She was some very distant relative. In fact, when I went to a cousin's nikkah, I met so many relatives I had never seen/heard of before yet they came up to me asking if I recognized them. LOL. So yea, they were just looking to cover people and I guess it irked them that no one had smothered my face with it. Actually, at that girl's wedding, it was mainly haldi that they were using which is not so easy to get rid of so I think I narrowly escaped. :D Sounds scary. But at least you know your uncles.
