The traditions and ceremonies in wedding strong reflect the Punjabi culture. You will see men and women singing boliyan, the local songs at the wedding. Engagement is called Mangni/shagun by Punjabis and is usually a high profile affair. The wedding celebrations start with tikka ceremony and can last for even a week. The bride's family hosts Sangeeth in which close members of the groom's family are invited. The last major function before the wedding is Mehendi.
