The friends are served a special Kashmiri tea known as 'kehwa'. Kehwa is a herbal tea brewed in by copper pots. Kehwa is served with 'Shirmal' a special type of Kashmiri roti. On the day of the engagement the girl is made to change her 'lehenga' three to four times. In the past the Kashmiri weddings use to take place at midnight, but these days due to uncertain circumstances weddings are held early in the evening.
Dinner is served early, for the convenience of the guests.
The food served is the same 'vazvan' food served with Kashmiri phirni, halwa and kulfi. The ladies and men are seated separately. The close relatives of the boy can enter the shamiana where the girl is seated. The relatives take a look at the bride and also give her gifts. The engagement period can be for a couple of months extended to a couple of years.
