CHANDIGARH: The big fat Indian wedding in US, which will be attended by the who's who in Punjab politics, promises to beat even the Bollywood
flicks. The sprawling 30-acre ranch in Wisconsin, USA, will play host
to the political bigwigs of both America and India, even as guests are
treated to Punjabi delicacies and bhangra.
Guests to the high profile wedding, which includes Punjab chief minister P S Badal, Speaker CS Atwal, several Cabinet ministers, former Union minister Balwant Singh Ramoowalia can expect to witness a lavish extravaganza on Darshan Singh Dhaliwal's ranch in Mequon, near Chicago.
Dhaliwal, who owns several hundred gas stations in the US, rubs shoulders with top politicians in the US, and hosted former US president Bill Clinton at the same ranch which is now the venue of his daughter's wedding.
The bride, Tina Kaur, a psychologist, will tie the knot with her American beau, Joshua, at the wedding which will be performed as per Punjabi tradition. The celebrations for the wedding scheduled for August 11 will begin on August 6 itself with a three-day Akhand Path organized at the expansive six-bedroom bungalow of the family.
Religious gurus like Baba Kashmira Singh and Baba Ram Pal Singh are flying to US to bless the couple at the bhog of the Akhand Path on August 8.
Elaborate arrangements have been made for the guests to stay in the upmarket hotels in Mequon. Guests will be treated to a lavish feast of Punjabi butter chicken, Amritsari channe kulche, makki ki roti and saag along with continental, mughlai and Italian spread.
After an Anand Karaj in the morning, the Dhaliwals will give a send-off to their daughter at a reception party on August 11 which will see a full Punjabi cultural extravaganza. Gurdas Mann, a legend in his own right, will mingle with the guests along with contemporary singers Daler Mehndi and Harbhajan Mann.
Guests from Punjab are also taking expensive gifts, showcasing their native heritage, for the newly-weds. While most of the guests have opted for gold and diamond jewellery in traditional designs, ivory statues, too, are among the gifts bought for the couple.
