Question

Ceremony attire

Answer

For the religious wedding ceremony, formal and conservative attire is required. Our guests will be sitting on the floor during the duration of the ceremony, so please wear pants or a dress that would allow you to do so comfortably. If you choose to wear a dress, please keep legs and shoulders covered. If you are interested in wearing an Indian outfit, feel free to contact the Bride, Groom, or your Indian friends to borrow or to get help to purchase an Indian outfit.

Question

Covering your head & Removing shoes

Answer

During the wedding ceremony both men and women will be required to cover their head and remove their shoes upon entering the wedding hall. There are plenty of shelves where your shoes can be stowed. Feel free to walk barefoot or in socks. Gentlemen, you will be provided with a rumaal (bandana) or you may bring your own. Ball caps and beanies are not considered acceptable types of headwear. Ladies, we ask that you bring a pashmina scarf or shawl, also referred to as a chunni or duphata, to cover your head and shoulders while you're in the ceremony hall.

Question

Entering the wedding hall

Answer

When you enter the wedding hall, you will notice that members of the Sikh Community walk towards the altar at the front and bow before the Holy Book (Guru Granth Sahib). They then provide a small monetary donation for the Temple. Non-sikhs are not obligated to bow; you may simply offer a donation and take your seat. If you do wish to participate, you are most welcome to do so. During the Sikh Wedding Ceremony, the Bride and Groom will be seated front and center of the altar. As a sign of respect, please do not turn your back to the Holy Book.
