This is an Indian tradition, dating back to when the groom's parents would arrive at the bride's house. There is lots of laughter and cheering, the family elders exchange flower garlands welcoming each other into the family, and the bride's sister offers flowers and sweets to the groom.
This is a Hindu ceremony, signifying spiritual union between bride and groom, as they become husband and wife. There are prayers welcoming the groom into the bride’s home, followed by the bride and groom taking seven steps around a fire, symbolising seven vows they will make to each other.
This is where the bride and groom will make their vows to each other in front of their most beloved. They will walk down the aisle, exchange rings and say the “I do’s!”
Your presence at our wedding is our present!
