Question

What should I wear?

Indian attire is encouraged but wear what you're comfortable in!

Question

What will our Hindu & Western ceremony entail?

Answer

We’ll begin with a Hindu ceremony that includes: Ganesh Puja – a short prayer for blessings and the removal of obstacles. Jaimala – the exchange of flower garlands to welcome and honor each other. Modernized Kanyadaan – instead of the traditional “giving away” of the bride, both sets of parents will take part, symbolizing both families joyfully supporting and blessing our union. Mangal Fera / Saptapadi (Seven Steps Around the Fire) – we walk around the sacred fire, taking seven symbolic steps that represent shared vows for love, trust, and partnership. Sindoor & Mangalsutra – symbolic gestures that mark the couple’s commitment to one another. Ashirwad – receiving blessings from our families and guests. Then, we’ll transition into a short Western ceremony with about 15 minutes of spoken vows and the exchanging of rings, followed by our formal pronouncement as a married couple.
