Colour Red And Gursikh Wedding...


Recommended Posts

And you contemplate on bani a lot.

In reality what you think you contemplate is still not even close to 1%

I admit I do not contemplate much but in your post I see hankaar.

What if I want to swim in my ignorance? Will that hurt you? Will that stop your bhagti from going forward? What if I want to stay ignorant for the next 100 janams?

So if the 4 lavan are not for marrige then how should we perform our marrige rights? According to Hindu Snatan matt?

I'm sorry if I hurt anybody's sentiments cause that's not what I mean to do when I wrote.

You are correct that that I contemplate bani a lot, that I have lots of hankaar and haumai, and that I have yet to learn a lot about gurbani still.

You are right, you have the right to stay ignorant for 100 births and that won't effect me.

You are right, we will have to do marriage according to some other way, perhaps Hindu snatan mat, if Guru Ramdas ji's Lavan are not for wordly marriage.

But you are wrong about hurting my or anyone's sentiments. You don't have to be sorry bro. I showed some tough love and you responded like a brother would. No need for apologies.

Ok so I changed my colour scheme to tea pink, onion pink, gold..

Those are stupid colours. :P

Go. for. Red! Go. for. Red! Go. for. Red!

Give me a R

Give me a E

Give me a D

Isn't it interesting that the word Lal which means Red is also used to refer to one's beloved. In this case for Guru Arjun Dev ji it was Waheguru.

ਸਦਾ ਰੰਗੀਲਾ ਲਾਲੁ ਪਿਆਰਾ ਏਹੁ ਮਹਿੰਜਾ ਆਸਰਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

My Beloved Lover is always and forever beautiful. He is my hope and inspiration. ||1||Pause||

I am sorry if I hurt you. I do not like to make somebody feel like shit and I ask for forgiveness for using wrong words and harsh full tone.

Sorry I have already settled on the pink now thanks to a bunch of people at the gurdwara Sunday telling me how pink was my colour... (I wore the suit that I am wearing in my avatar pic, so you can see it's a pale tea pink colour). I'll attach the actual pic so you can see... Red actually might be too hard on me, only because I have such pale skin. Pink seems to work better anyway, and then I won't have to worry about the red/green thing. But...nobody answered my question about Amritdhari Sikhs who serve in the army?? Army uniforms pretty much everywhere in the world wear green! Is it overlooked among any Takaslis who join the army? Or do they just not join the army? I'm lucky I'm in the Navy and my uniforms are dark blue for work dress and black/white for dress uniform.

So seeing the pic of the pink suit on me, and the colours we chose are similar (only the fabric will be satiny silk brocade fabric and there is heavy embroidery on the suit) I think pink will work... just need to get pink turban material to match for him. I'll wear a white dastar under. And he can wear white sherwani. So we will match :P

Those are stupid colours. :P

If you want to know about spirituality you ask a guru.

If you want to know about colour you don't ask your mates in a gurudwara or ask from "debate-specialists" on forums.

If you want to know about colour you ask an artist.

I'ma leave this quick photoshop right here...

I know it's messy but it gets the point across. Pale skin is actually perfect for wearing such colours. Pink and pale skin don't match because they are both pale. (Pink is a pale red.)

Pink is pale, white turban is pale, your skin is pale... too much pale bleh :wacko:

Wear bright red and bright yellow pagg. And make sure you get some yellow designs on the red suit and try to match the turban with the yellow designs.

Wear some red and yellow bangles as well.

BOOM!

I hope I ruined all your plans. :P

Guru Gobind Singh ji wearing the same colours

Ok it's been awhile and I have been looking all over for different ideas... I know I said I was set on pink but I found this online, it's an anarkali, heavy embroidered, beadwork etc and it's shades of blue. Though they do say they can make in different colour schemes on the site but I am not sure since it specifies blue. I think these might be semi-stitched suits. But just want opinions... and don't have anyone to ask, least of all him because I want it to be surprise at least till closer to the wedding). I really like this style of anarkali... shorter style (I'm short so the floor length ones do not work on me) and I really like all the embellishments on it. I can't find much like this online... I know they exist and I have seen photos of gursikh weddings where the girl is wearing an anarkali similar to this in blue, or I saw one with a very dark blue accented on a cream coloured suit... where can I look for this style of anarkali online? Most seem to be just regular anarkali with a little bit of embroidery but not for wedding... This even has the heavy work chunni. The blue scheme would work with a navy blue dastar....

Dear bhenji,

The suit in the picture above, looks fantastic. I think it would look great on you.

Although, do make sure that the dupatta is wide enough so that it doesn't look awkward when you have worn it over your dumalla.

Also, if hubby and in-laws aren't fussed, don't worry about the colours. Do make sure that the colours match the hubby's outfit. Nothing's worse than an un-matched wedding couple where the colours don't complement each other.

P.s. I wore an orange suit with blue dumalla on my wedding and hubby had a blue chola with orange dumalla.

I plan on wearing a white dastar with the blue suit above, and getting him to wear a blue dastar with white. That way we will match and be kind of opposites :)
