Can you proofread this please? its really short with hardly any mistakes thanks!?

The milni ceremony is performed once the groom’s barat reaches the gurdwara. The groom and all of his relatives are given a warm welcome with flower garlands by the bride’s close relatives. The girl’s close relatives give shagun to the groom’s close relatives, beginning from eldest to youngest. Consisting of his grandfather, father, uncles and brothers. Cash and clothes are gifted as the shagun.

"...his grandfather, father, uncles, and brothers." You need a comma after uncles. All of my teachers in high school told me you didn't but once I reached college it was a whole different story.

Those relatives also give Shagun to the groom’s close relatives (consisting of his grandfather, father, uncles, and brothers) beginning with the eldest and ending with the youngest. The Shagun itself is a gift of cash and clothing.





The capitalization is only a suggestion.
