The wedding

Sagai

The engagement ceremony, with the exchange of rings, that fixes the match publicly.

Sagai (mangni, nischitartham, sakharpuda, kurmai — every community has its name) is the formal engagement. Rings are exchanged, the families feast, and the wedding date is usually announced or already set. It can be months before the wedding or a day.

Between roka and sagai is when most of the practical questions — where to live, whose family is nearer, the wedding's scale — get settled.
