So I'm going to a Sikh wedding and I'm wondering what to expect. Anyone know what all of this means?
Sehora Bandi 9:00am
Barat 10:00am
Anand Karaj (Actual wedding, I think)
Lunch 1:00pm
Doli 3:00pm
OK, lunch and the actual wedding are clear enough but what's that other stuff? Are some just for family or is everyone expected to attend all functions? I'm unsure of the traditions and expectations so any help would be appreciated.
Also the reception is the next day in L.A. so I'm going to have to travel from San Diego to Sacramento then down to L.A. the next day then back to San Diego. It should be a busy weekend full of flying. Is there anything I should know about the reception? Is it like a western reception or are Sikh receptions different?
I've been to a couple. Most of those seem to involve being fed and plied with tea. Then there's the wedding stuff and speeches. Then there's the lengthiest section which involves drinking a lot of bacardi and scotch and dancing around to bhangra while waving your arms in the air before falling over. It's a sacred rite.

My mom is Sikh but I know very little about the religion. Make sure to wear a Turban, grow out your beard, and bring a Kirpan (ceremonial religious sword) in order to slay your enemies.
There's only one of me, and I'm not going let alone on top of his head.
I'm consitently stupid- Japher I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned
