What is the dress code for the Wedding?
The traditional wedding will be held outdoors by the beach, so please wear light and comfortable formal clothing suited for the weather. Nepalese weddings typically feature ladies in Sarees and gents in traditional attire like Daura Suruwal. If you don't have Nepalese clothing, formal attire is recommended to match the occasion. Choose elegant and modest outfits that reflect the celebratory spirit of the event.
What is the dress code for the Reception?
Dress to impress and get ready to celebrate in style!
What time should we arrive?
Wedding - 15:00 - 22:00
Reception - 17:00-00:00
Do I need a visa to enter Dubai?
If you're traveling to Dubai from the UK, USA, or Australia, you won't need a visa for entry. However, visitors from Nepal must obtain a visa before arrival. Nepalese citizens typically need to apply for a tourist visa through the UAE embassy or consulate. It's always best to check official UAE government sources for the most up-to-date visa requirements before traveling.
What’s the weather like in Dubai in November?
31° / 20°c with no chance of rain
Do you need to stay in the venue where the events are happening?
You are not required to stay at either of the event venues, and no special accommodation rates are available for them. We have compiled a list of conveniently located hotels, but you are welcome to choose any accommodation that best suits your preferences. Additionally, there are many reasonably priced Airbnb options near both venues.
How many days do I need to be in Dubai?
For a complete experience of Dubai, we suggest staying for 5-7 days to fully explore the city. However, if you are traveling specifically for the wedding, we recommend arriving on November 28th and staying until December 1st.
Gifts?
We are absolutely delighted that you will be celebrating our dream of a destination wedding with us, your presence is the greatest gift! However, if you do choose to give us a present, please avoid boxed gifts and flowers as we all have luggage limitations while traveling, and transporting them may be difficult.
Are there any cultural traditions we should be aware of?
Yes! As both the bride and groom are Hindu Nepali, our wedding will include a number of beautiful and meaningful traditions. While you don’t need to know all the details to enjoy the celebration, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Ceremonial Customs: The wedding ceremony will include several Hindu rituals, such as the saptapadi (seven steps around the sacred fire), blessings from elders, and symbolic offerings. These are deeply rooted in love, respect, and family values. More details will be provided in the Wedding Programme.
Joyful Celebrations: Expect music, dancing, and lots of vibrant energy! Nepali weddings are full of joy, and we’d love for you to join in the festivities.
If you have any questions or are curious about anything during the day, don’t hesitate to ask.
Will there be any pre-wedding events or gatherings?
There may be a small, informal gathering for close family members from both the bride’s and groom’s sides at their respective accommodations on the day before the wedding. On the 28th November. More details will be shared closer to the date.
