In reply to tuhadadaas how do you know the man is willing to add Singh to his name?i have no problem with inter racial marriages and I am not a racist!what I do have a problem with is doing pakhand in front of guru sahib it is BEADBI of our guru if you are doing anand kharaj and have no understanding of what the bani means ,it is just a mockery of Sikhi and that these people use it to there advantage to show there real Sikhs? if you followed the teachings of guru Granth sahib JI you would know its more than just about getting married it's your promise to guru sahib and a way of life ,also the man in question is not a Sikh and so can not be married in front of guru sahib so stop trying to twist what I'm saying , I bet the man doesn't even know the gurus names and what each guru contributed?from your post you seem to know the person in question as you said he is willing to add Singh to his name.so are you a family member?were you at the civil ceromony?
