My Sister's wedding highlights:Wedding Day - Anand Karaj (10min)

Anand Karaj: The families and friends of both the bride and groom gather in the Gurdwara, or a wedding hall, for the Anand Karaj Sikhism marriage ceremony. They assemble together in the presence of the Guru Granth. Hymns are sung as men and boys sit to one side of a central isle, and the woman and girls to the other. Every one sits on the floor reverently with legs crossed and folded.
The bride and groom bow before the Guru Granth, and then sit side by side at the front of the hall. The couple and their parents stand up to signify that they have given their consent for the wedding to take place. Every one else remains seated while a Sikh offers Ardas, a prayer for the success of the marriage.
The musicians, who are called ragis, sit on a low stage and sing the hymn, "Keeta Loree-ai Kaam", to seek God's blessing and to convey a message that a successful marital union is achieved through grace.
The Bride and groom, affirm the acceptance of their marital obligations, and bow together before the Guru Granth Sahib(Holy Book). The bride sits to the left of the groom directly in front of the Guru Granth sahib(Holy Book).
