Sikh weddings are traditionally called Anand Karag - "Blissfull Union"

Picture

The two sides of the family greet each other with 'Waheguru Ji Ka, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh 
bestowing blessings upon each other

In epic Sikh storytelling tradition, the Groom poses as a Warrior,
arriving on a shining white Stallion, to sweep his Princess Bride off her feet
(accompanied by bagpipes in this case - owing to his Scottish heritage!)

Picture

The marriage ceremony takes place in the holy presence of Guru Granth Sahib -
​the Sikh scripture of 1,434 pages of poetic hymns

Picture

In the holy presence of the Guru Granth Sahib
the Bride and the Groom sit side by side facing the holy book
Hymns are sung and prayers are offered to the couple's parents and the couple themselves

The ceremony continues with the Groom wearing a sash over his shoulder
with the other end placed into the hands of the Bride to symbolize their union
The priest reads four more stanzas from the holy text

One final reading of a hymn before
Karah Pasad sweets are given to everyone present
