Everybody is invited to the wedding reception (the more fun event!) on Dec 15th, but due to venue restraints on religiously approved dates, we have elected to have a small and simple wedding ceremony on Dec 14th. Since ceremony space is limited, we reserved invites for immediate family and those travelling a long way, many who have not seen a Hindu wedding before. Regardless I don't want anybody feeling left out or excluded; if you want to attend the ceremony too please reach out to me and I will try to make room.

Dress Code
Dress code for the both events is formal attire. It is not required to wear an Indian suit or dress; any formal attire is fine. For both wedding and reception we ask not to wear pure white. For the wedding we ask not to wear pure red or black (black suits for men are fine). A mix of these colours with others are fine, as long as they are not the dominant colour of your outfit.
