A Sikh Wedding

Today, Ray and I went to a Sikh Wedding, and it was a wonderful first experience. My friend, Vasilis who is Greek married Ruby who is Indian. It was so cool, seeing these two cultures mesh in today's festivities. We had such a good time, experiencing and learning all about the Indian culture through this event.

At the end of the wedding ceremony, guests were welcome to congratulate the groom and bride with monetary gifts.




During the wedding ceremony, our heads needed to be covered. Also, men sat on the righthand side, while the women sat on the lefthand side of the temple.




Here is the happy couple during their reception.




It was too bad we didn't get to stay longer; we didn't even get to have dinner :-( since it still wasn't served at 9:45 pm which was pretty new to us. Nonetheless, it was truly a beautiful wedding between two people so in love.


Congratulations to Vasilis and Ruby!
