This ceremony took place in the large outdoor balcony facing the sea where the Guru Granth Sahib had is place of prominence, where the marriage ceremony took place.
The bride and the groom sit side-by-side facing the ocean and the Guru Granth Sahib. The wedding ceremony started with the couple and their parents standing up to offer Ardaas to ‘Waheguru’, after which singing of Shabads or hymns is done. The Amritdhari Sikh explained to the couple the significance of the marriage, the duties that each need to perform within the sacred relationship, and the general idea of leading a pious life according to Sikh tenets. The couple bowed down before the Guru Granth Sahib.
After this the father of the bride placed a saffron coloured scarf on the groom’s shoulder and the other end of the same on his daughter’s hand. The Lavaan Pheras which conducted the marriage ceremony recited the four Lavaa or stanzas from the Guru Granth Sahib. After the completion of the reading the first stanza, the couple stands up from their seats and slowly walks around the Guru Granth Sahib in clockwise direction, with the groom leading the bride. After completion of the round they when back to their positions but remain standing for the remaining three hymns. The process of circumambulation is repeated three more times after each Lavaa.
