WOW they look so happy, true they seem to be funny to, really i do agree with the others that it does not seem to be all bad about arrange marriage and things like that, people do put you down when they do describe abot their experiences; though i have a long way to go i do pray and hope my life be the same as the couples, have a phat life x

I think the SIkh religion is so beautiful. The weddings are very meaningful. I am proud to be a Sikh living in America.

I am British and proud to be British, Sikh's beleive in freedom for all, protect the weak ,but most of all fear god. May peace be with you.

awww how sweet! See, it isn't all as bad as people think is it? They've fallen in love out of an arranged marriage, but most of the time in this day and age, that type of arrangement is quite rare anyway. It's so much easier than that for the majority of Sikhs to meet fellow Sikhs, without the awkwardness of only having seen a picture of them. Just think of it as a glorified dating agency, but better coz your parents, close relatives and people who know you best, are usually the ones who find you matches. What better way?

An excellent video. In just a few minutes I felt I knew that Sikh couple. The look so happy and it seems the Sikh religion is very modern and tolerant. I use to admire the Sikhs at university, very intelligent, clean, good looking and honest.
