What to Wear
Wear your loveliest wedding appropriate outfit, whether it be Indian or American. The Anand Karaj will be held in the Gurdwara and therefore we will be seated on a carpeted floor for the ceremony, so please wear something you can sit "criss cross apple sauce" in! You will also be removing your shoes and covering your head (with a scarf - provided by us if needed) before you enter the temple, so wear your most fun socks and don't worry too much about getting your hairdo 100% perfect.
