Wedding Ceremony

This is the main event! Our ceremony will be a traditional Hindu ceremony. It all starts with the Baraat/Jaan (9:30 AM) where the groom rides a horse surrounded by all his friends and family progress to the the front door where Khushboo's mother will be waiting to bless and welcome Mikhail to the mandap (alter) for the ceremony. The actual ceremony consists of multiple poojas (blessings) so you will see different people get up and join the couple on the mandap for the ceremony (10:00 AM). Please feel free to get up and (quietly) talk to other guest and enjoy the snacks and drinks while the ceremony is going on, you do not have to sit still the entire time! Lunch will be provided.
