Baraat
The groom's procession to the wedding venue — traditionally on a horse, with a band and dancing.
The baraat brings the groom and his family to the bride's family, who receive them at the door in the milni, where the two families' relatives are matched pair by pair and garlanded. It is the moment the two sides formally meet on the wedding day.
Abroad, the baraat happens in hotel car parks and gurdwara forecourts, horse optional.
