Why does the wedding span 3 days?

We chose to have a multi-day wedding to allow us to savor each moment, honor traditions from different cultures, and create lasting memories with our loved ones over an extended period, making it a truly special and inclusive celebration.

What is Mehndi and Sangeet?

The "Mehndi" ceremony is a traditional pre-wedding ritual in Indian weddings where the bride's hands and feet are adorned with intricate henna designs. It is a festive gathering where family and friends celebrate by applying henna to the bride's skin, and often to their own as well. The designs symbolize beauty, auspiciousness, and the bond of love. The "Sangeet" ceremony is a lively pre-wedding celebration, typically held a day or two before the wedding. It involves music, dance, and performances by family and friends from both the bride and groom's sides. It's a fun and joyful event where the families come together to celebrate the upcoming union through song and dance performances. It's essentially a big pre-wedding party filled with entertainment and merriment.

What is the Haldi Ceremony?

The Haldi ceremony is a traditional pre-wedding ritual in Indian weddings. During this ceremony, a paste made from turmeric (haldi), sandalwood, and other auspicious ingredients is applied to the bride and groom's skin. This paste is believed to cleanse and beautify the couple, while also symbolizing the blessings and protection of family and friends. It is typically a joyous occasion filled with singing, dancing, and celebration as both families come together to prepare the bride and groom for their upcoming wedding day.
