Dear community members, Namaskaram to all!
I am a Tamil Iyer bride-to-be, engaged to a wonderful Tamil/Telugu Iyengar groom (Father is Tamil Iyengar and Mother is Telugu Iyengar) and we are currently residing in Canada, away from our famillies. As we prepare for our wedding with our families in Canada, we are committed to honoring traditional Tamil Iyengar Rituals. However, both of our families are not well-versed in these customs, and the local priests we have consulted have mentioned that Iyer and Iyengar weddings are the same. We were under the impression that there might be distinct differences and wish to understand them better. We are particularly interested in understanding the specific order of rituals in a traditional Tamil Iyengar Wedding. Could you kindly provide a detailed sequence of the ceremonies and any insights into how these may differ from Iyer wedding practices? Your guidance will be invaluable to us as it will allow us to better communicate with the priests and authentically incorporate these traditions into our ceremony.
Thank you in advance!
