For days prior to the wedding, the Family will dance throughout the street, also the sisters of the groom will block the door of the home, and demand money from the groom in order for the bride and groom to enter.
The wedding itself takes place mainly in a tent called a mandap which is beautifully decorated with flowers. The ceremony is quite an elaborate affair that lasts for several hours. The ceremony is attended by a large number of relatives and friends.
