About Wedding
A wedding celebrates the marriage of two people and the start of their life together. In India, weddings often bring families and communities together over several days of rituals, music and food.
A wedding marks the day two people marry and begin their life together. It is one of the most important celebrations in many families, bringing together relatives and friends to bless the couple.
Weddings take many forms. Customs differ by religion, region and family, and each tradition has its own rituals, clothes, music and food.
How it is marked
Many Indian weddings include events such as haldi, mehendi and sangeet before the main ceremony, depending on the community. The ceremony may be a Hindu wedding with pheras, a Sikh Anand Karaj, a Muslim nikah, a Christian church wedding, a court marriage or another tradition. Guests bless the couple, give gifts or shagun and join the celebrations, and friends who cannot attend often send wishes by card, message or video.
A reception often follows, giving the couple a chance to meet guests from both sides.
What to write

- Wishing you both a lifetime of good chai, fair fights and someone who always saves you the last gulab jamun.
- Sorry I couldn't be there. Watched the pheras on the video call and cried like a fool. All my love to you both.
