The singer-songwriter recalled, “There's this one moment in Indian weddings where the bride and groom are lifted on the shoulders of their family members and there's sort of a game that's played where this garland is put on each other. They try to be the first to put the garland on the other. And it's surprisingly difficult, especially when you have someone as competitive as me and Pri. But whoever is the one to put it first, that side of the family is the more dominant.” He added that the game was “really fun” and a good way for the families to connect with each other.
