SAPPHIRE FUNCTION CENTRE SIKH-PUNJABI-WEDDING-RECEPTION-AUBURN-SYDNEY

Alka and Gursewak's Wedding Reception at Sapphire Function Centre, Auburn






Running through a series of functions/ceremonies on the day, we arrived to the most awaited part - the reception dinner, which was held at THE SAPPHIRE FUNCTION CENTRE, AUBURN. The arrangements and the stage looked as wonderful as the couple. The couple's love story goes back many years. The bride was such a sweetheart and loved to chat. She had an amazing smile that added a silver lining to all photographs. The groom was initially a little conscious in front of the camera, but we made sure to crack a joke or two just before the click to have a smile on his face - only kidding. They made a lovely couple - truly made for each other.















Carrying on with the formalities of the evening, the bridal party had a grand entrance and a special music for the same. Shortly after their entry, they performed the cake cutting ceremony. It was a beautifully decorated cake, quite tempting. Later, they had a few performances which were outstanding. This was followed by a chain of music and dance combo which lasted the whole evening. Their circle of friends comprised people with enormous energy that provided non-stop performance. It was a great pleasure to capture everyone's dancing face.

This gives everyone a chance to know who is going to be the groom of one of the girls of their village. This ceremony is usually a symbol of pride for the bride's parents who are very proud of the to-be son-in-law and would like to advertise this emotion to the entire village. However, Fuleku (namesake only) tradition for the below blog is where the bride (to-be) is invited for dinner to her sister's (or some other female relative like aunty) place prior to the wedding. This is supposed to be a very casual evening with lots of dances, extensive palette of cuisine and lots of banter between the sisters and their husbands.  Hemangi's wedding was in the town of Jamnagar in the state of Gujarat.
