The wedding ceremony may last about 4-6 hours. It includes several traditional rituals performed by a priest.
What should I wear to the wedding and reception?
Nepali weddings are colorful, and guests are encouraged to wear traditional attire if possible. For those unfamiliar with Nepali clothes:
Women can wear saris, kurta sets, or lehenga.
Men can wear daura suruwal, kurta pajamas, or suits.
If you don't have traditional Nepali attire, semi-formal or formal Western attire is perfectly fine.
Here are some websites with traditional attire available:
- Hatkay.com
-Amazon
