  Gurjeet & Jessie - Wedding Day
As I mentioned in the previous post about Gurjeet & Jessie's wedding weekend, they took part in just about every Punjabi & Sikh tradition. This meant a really amazing weekend...and lots of photos!

So this post focuses just on their wedding day...get ready for a bunch of photos!


We started day off around 6am...I was with Gurjeet in San Jose, Asad was with Jessie in Vallejo...talk about travelling the entire Bay Area!








The families then came together at the Gurdwara in San Jose...always a lovely location since the light is just amazing! And something I just love about Sikh ceremonies is how serene the entire wedding is. Yes, there's a lot of joy & celebration, but overall, it's a very quiet & serene time...very different from most Hindu ceremonies which can be rater chaotic.


















And so the madness starts with the doli! Traditionally, the groom comes to the bride's house to fetch her and the bride's cousins tease the groom (and try to extract cash!)


Whether it's Sikh or Hindu, when it's time for the bride to leave with her new family, it can be really emotional. As I've said before, I now think about this a lot more since my daughter came along...



For this final shot, I like to call it the ZeeTV shot since it always seems to appear on ZeeTV soap operas when there's a wedding. In this case, Gurjeet was welcomed into Jessie's home for the the Paani Bhaar.


Look for another post shortly on Gurj & Jess's reception!
