FAQs

Question

What is your COVID-19 policy?

Answer

We ask that everyone tests for COVID-19 before coming the weekend of the wedding, regardless of vaccination status. If you feel sick but still test negative, we ask that you please stay home. Weather permitting, most of the wedding will be held outdoors. That being said, you are not obligated to come if you do not feel comfortable! We will miss you, but we totally understand.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We ask guests to dress in formalwear. Both Western and Bengali attire are welcome — please wear whatever is most comfortable! Keep in mind that the event will take place mostly in the evening, so dress appropriately for Florida weather in December.
