Depending on how religious they are, have two ceremonies! My cousins are Sikh, andmy older cousin married a Hindu girl. They had the Sikh ceremony in the morning, lunch, Hindu ceremony in the afternoon, cocktail hour, then reception. It was a hectic day for sure, but in the end, both families saw their traditions honored in a "traditional" way.

@sonnysprincess:It's doable, but might be really hard to do. I don't know how familier you are with a Sikh ceremony but it's VERY symbollic and not at all like a western ceremony. For our wedding, we're having it in a Catholic church, but we're having a Buddhist monk share a homily. You can write in however you want, but you do run the risk of completely alienating your side with the Sikh ceremony elements and vice versa. Also, I don't know how it is were you live, or how consrvative your FI's family is, but having a ceremony in a Gurdwara is a really sacred thing.

Maybe try to mesh the elements of a Sikh ceremony you want (there's a really pretty part about "brothers" giving the bride away that I really love) and Western elements and have one ceremony in a non-religious site?
