Yes, we take pride in getting married under the beautiful Hindu rituals to become husband and wife!
Formal Attire - For our wedding, we would love to see a mix of Indian and Non-Indian formal attire. Either choice is appropriate and appreciated so whatever you feel best in, is what you should wear. Just make sure it is something you can dance in! (:
Traditionally, Indian culture avoids the color Black to the religious wedding ceremony. However, Black suits for men are an acceptable attire. Black color attire is acceptable at other events as well.
