Mehendi
The Mehendi is traditionally an event for the ladies during which henna (mehendi) is applied to all invitees. Some song and dance is also included. We have decided to invite the men as well to enjoy the fun!
Baraat
The Baraat is the most famous part of an Indian ceremony - when the groom rides in on a white horse!
Friends and family are encouraged to celebrate and dance in front of the horse in a processional to meet the bride.
Milni
The Milni is the meeting of the two sides of the family. The members of each family meet their counterparts in celebration of the union.
Indian Ceremony
The ceremony will be in Sanskrit with English translation narrated by family of the bride
Sangeet
The Sangeet (traditionally held before the wedding, but we like to be different) is an opportunity for the families to poke fun at one another through song and dance, skits, or other performances. We have decided to make our Sangeet double as the Indian reception because we want everyone to join in on the fun!
