Finally, the bride is ready for her marriage. 

Gujarati groom on the other side wears kurta pyjama, sherwani or achkan which has self work with heavy golden embroidery all over. The head is covered with a safa (turban) and the foot is covered with ethnic jootis, a type of Indian shoes worn with Indian wear. He puts bandhini dupatta on one shoulder adding color to the whole attire. These days many grooms are opting for western suits with jodhpuri collars which gives an indo-western look and is appealing to many youths today. 

The bride and the groom look god and goddess when sit together for their wedding rituals. Gujarati’s spend huge amount of money on the decoration of the wedding venue, on jewelry and on clothes. The marriage rituals in Gujarati’s are similar to any other Hindu marriage where the wife’s duty is to keep her husband and his family happy and husband’s duty is to support her throughout the life. Kanyadaan is the most important ritual where the parents of the bride officially give their daughters responsibility to the groom by putting bride and groom’s hand over each other. Thus, wedding is an occasion that every individual dreams about wishing for a perfect wedding and looking at their best.
