Through the Hukamnama, Guru Ji speaks and showers His blessings upon the couple, the parents and the holy congregation.

10. Tying the Wedding Knot
This ceremony is known as ‘Palle Dee Rasam’, where the bride’s relatives (usually the father) hands one end of the scarf or robe (about 2-3 meter long cloth) to the bride where other end is held by the groom.
This signifies father’s blessing & prayer for the couple in front of Guru Granth Sahib so that the couple remains committed to Satguru & hence each other
During this ceremony the musicians (Raagis) sing a shabad (hymn).

14. The Ceremony Of Bliss
Four hymns from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Ang 773 are read to solemnise the Anand Kaaraj (Ceremony of Bliss).
In these hymns, Guru Raam Daas Sahib, the 4th Sikh Guru, has described the stages / vows to attain UNION (Marriage) of the individual soul with the Eternal Soul (GOD).
The very same principles apply to relationship between the couple & all human being to develop trustworthy & Loving relationship

15. The essence of the four hymns may be summed as follows:
Devotion of the Almighty God
Eradicate EGO thro’ Divine Wisdom recieved from Satguru (by being conscious of God’s supremacy & command)
Longing (Bairaag) to experience the Lord
Intuitive & unconditional love (Sehaj) for Vaheguru.

16. During the marriage ceremony, the Granthi recites the first Laav (vow).
Musicians (Raagis) then sing the same verse, while the bride and the groom walk clockwise around the Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
When the musicians (Raagis) finish singing the verse, the bride and the groom bow and sit down.
-This above protocol is repeated for each of the four marriage verses.--
