Suneet & Sukhi Are Taking Care of Business. The Punjabi Way

But before that, Suneet is having a really good time with the talented Sonia Sajnani:
 Tanveer will get married soon and she wants us to be her photographers. I hope this picture is not going to make her change her mind:
 Final touches:
 And voila:
 In the same time I'm with Sukhi and he's having his morning power drink:

 His sister - Simi - is doing the sehra bandi:

 His aunty gives him the agenda with today's schedule, so he doesn't forget what he has to do:
 Leaving the house for the last time as a single man:
 Pretty much everything he does now is for the last time as a single man, including the Legends limo ride:
 And the horse back riding. The baarat arrives at the Singh Saba Gurdwara:

 Bella, the white mare, told me she was going to retire next year. Will miss her:
 Sukhi wants to check if he's in the right place:
 He sure is, because the milni starts soon:
 Inside the temple, the groom's sisters are reversing the sehra bandi process:
  I don't know what else to call the fact that they are taking off everything they put on his head at home:
 Finally, Suneet shows up:
 It would be kinda difficult to have a wedding ceremony without the bride:



The ragis sing compositions of Lavan for each time the couple goes around the altar of Guru Granth Sahib:
The second verse refers to the stage of desire and love for each other.


 The Sikh holy scripture is covered at the end of Anand Karaj - ceremony of bliss:
 Time to take care of business. I'm not sure why Sukhi takes one last look at Suneet before he signs the marriage certificate. I let you speculate:
 They share their first meal as a married couple. That's so sweet! Well, the food is mostly salty and greasy, but you know what I mean:
 I can't hide my excitement when I find out we're going to the Matrix Hotel for some pictures:
 Too much?




 Beautiful bouquet:
 But the bride doesn't need it anymore:
 We're back at Suneet's house and her mom is waiting for Sukhi to come and claim his wife:
 He's here and he brought his men:
 Suneet's sisters have a deal he can't refuse:
 Actually, he can and he does, but not without consequences:
 Eventually, the money shows up:
 And we go inside:
 Grandma is saying goodbye:

 Suneet is following her husband. She has to because he's still holding on to the chunni:
 All her stuff is packed and ready to join her:
 Her father knows she'll be in good hands:
 As they leave, Sukhi's dad showers them with money. It can't be for gas, cause they wouldn't go far on that:
Congratulations one more time, Suneet and Sukhi! We had a great few days with you and your families! So sorry we couldn't party with you in Montreal!

  3. Dear cosmin at wedding ceremony pic u made a caption "I don't know what else to call the fact that they are taking off everything they put on his head at home" so i am telling the reason- Actuly those thing they were removing are known as SEHRA and KALANGI. A sikh groom cant wear these things in front of our Holy Granh...because only 6th and 10th guru of sikhs have wore them. No one other can wear them in front of Shri Guru Granth Sahib...so it is a ritual to remove them in Gurudwara Sahib before the Anand Karaj starts...Hope next time u'll not be confuse...thankss
