The Sikh wedding ceremony is known as an Anand Karaj which means "Blissful Union". The Anand Karaj is a unique ceremony in which two individuals are joined in a partnership of two equals. It is not merely a physical and legal contract but a sacrament - a holy union between two souls. The spiritual goal of any Sikh is to merge his or her soul (atma) with God (Parmatma) and in marriage, the couple vow to help each other towards this goal.

Harman Riva Engagement Proposal _NPS9465 edited.jpg

Just for Fun

We asked a sample of our friends & family a Simple question:

"If Harman & Riva were condiments, who would be peanut butter, and who would be jelly?"

Here are some of our favorite responses:

Riva: Peanut Butter
Harman: Nutella
"Is this a trick question? Do I get to ride elephants at your wedding if I'm right? ;)"

Riva: Jelly
Harman: Peanut Butter
"Weirdos"

Riva: Jelly
Harman: Peanut Butter
"Harman loves Reece's PB cups and is the perfect salty balance to Riva's sweet!!"

Riva: Stonyfield yogurt
Harman: The fruit that comes at the bottom of the yogurt. Qualitatively different than Jelly
"Both work really well as breakfast foods, so much that people can go their entire lives just subsisting on one of em, but when you have em together, each mutually changes the other and they together fill out whatever the other missed out on, and it becomes the kind of food that people brag about eating (though casually and informally and only really when prompted); nah-mean????"

Riva: Jelly
Harman: Peanut Butter
"Riva is sweet, and Harman is slick"

Riva: Speculoos
Harman: Peanut Butter
"Riva is speculoos bc she's super sweet, original, and trendy! Harman is peanut butter because he is a little nutty (jk) and always good/reliable"

Riva: Peanut Butter
Harman: Jelly
"Peanut Butter's job is to provide a good solid foundation and base for a creamy, crunchy, sweet, and salty sandwich lasting for a lifetime and jelly will be the cherry on top. Peanut butter will be the fixed foot of deep roots and jelly will be the revolving foot, but always anchored to the roots. Oops! I'm so last generation. For fun trivia, wait for answers from your generation"😋

Fun Fact: ~13% of respondents had Nutella in their answer!
