The wedding morning will commence with the Milni Ceremony. This is where the bride and groom's family will formally introduce themselves in front of the wedding guests. The fathers will kick of this event by placing a garland around each-other and other family members will follow. We will then proceed for breakfast followed by the Anand Karaj. An Anand Karaj is a traditional Sikh wedding ceremony which is to take place in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and it is a sacred ceremony that binds a couple in a spiritual union as equals. The lavaan make up the main portion of the ceremony. They include the singing of shabads whilst the couple will circle Sri Guru Granth Sahib, and once completed will announce the couple married. We will then proceed downstairs to the langar hall for lunch to complete the wedding ceremony.
