A Prayer for My Pumpkin
So special his colours, shades and timing
Comes to me first in blossoms then patches
Watches, was waiting so cautious
He knows his day will come
My Pumpkin’s only fate is fun
So I'll carve him up good!
Bake, cook, soup, its all, well good!
Gouge his inners, scratch up the skinners
Of course it’s all for B-mine, oh I mean, benign benefit ;)
Lighting up beautiful insides, shining through what’s yours and mine
Thank you
My beautiful country bumpkin, pumpkins.

Brief notes on Sikh Weddings
(excerpts from: Sikhwiki.org Attending a Sikh Wedding)What to wear
At most Sikh weddings the men will wear a western suit usually in dark colour like blue, brown, grey, some might even choose to wear a lighter colour such as lime, beige, etc. Some men will wear traditional Punjabi or ethnic clothing. Most women will wear traditional Punjabi dress in bright colours the preferred being blue, orange, brown, green, multi-colours, pink, etc.
Modest dress is the order of the day; bare shoulders, plunging necklines and short skirts will be out of place at a religious venue but will be fine for the reception which normally does not take place in the Gurdwara. Some ladies prefer to take a shawl that they can throw over their shoulders, and wear pants to the Gurdwara and then wear a skirt to the reception. That way your outfit is acceptable at both venues.
Covering the head
At a Sikh wedding you will be require to cover your head when you are in the Gurdwara (temple). Carry a long scarf or a pashmina stole, which can also be used to cover up bare shoulders or arms, if necessary. Men usually wear the head covering provided at the temple or carry a large white or coloured handkerchief to place over their head.
Removing shoes
Also at the religious places you will be required to take off your shoes and place them in the designated space before you enter the sanctified area. While some places may require you to be barefooted, usually wearing socks or stockings is acceptable.
For the religious part of the ceremony, you will need to sit on the carpeted floor. You will be expected to sit cross-legged or otherwise on the floor for at least 45 minutes and this will prove difficult in tight or short clothing, so dress accordingly.
