FAQs

Question

What is a Baraat?

Answer

The Baraat is the reception of the groom, his family and friends traditionally in the bride's home. Seeing as we are having our wedding at a venue, this is the tradition leading up to the ceremony. It is the formal ritual of the wedding. The groom historically rides a horse while leading the way for his friends and family dancing on the beat of the drums. Our wedding venue unfortunately will not allow a horse so Alex will be making a grand entrance with his groomsmen and family

Question

Is the Bridal color different at a Pakistani wedding?

Answer

Most western/American weddings see white as a bridal color which was popularized by Queen Victoria in the 19th century. The traditional bridal color in South Asia is red. If you would like to abstain from wearing a "bridal" color, please do not wear red on Saturday.

Question

Will the Waleema be more Americanized?

Answer

The Waleema will be our version of an "americanized" wedding. The Bride will be in a white wedding dress and the groom will be in a suit. Feel free to wear your best take on the roaring 1920's.

Question

Are kids welcome?
