As Salman Khan famously said, "Do whatever you want to do man but don't trouble your mother", so wear whatever you are comfortable with. Wear whatever that allows you to dance from "Ranjithame" to "Jhoome jo Pathaan". The bride and the groom will be wearing VERY VERY VERY expensive Indian-styled clothes for both functions.
Please add all the songs that will bring out your inner Nora Fatehi/Hrithik Roshan/Dharmendra (for Shalin)/Thalapathy Vijay/Rajnikant/Madhuri Dixit/Aishwarya Rai/Kamal Haasan.

There is a parking lot at the temple for the morning ceremony. For the reception, the venue is close to downtown and you'll easily find street parking. Purchase insurance, after all its Seattle!
Yes, we love gifts! We would prefer you refer to the registry but if you plan to bring gifts then please bring them to the Reception.
