With the ring finger of the right hand, the couple anoint each other’s forehead with sandalwood oil.

"Sandalwood emanates a sweet fragrance when it is ground into a paste. The more it is ground, the sweeter the perfume, this is symbolic of joyous effort and perseverance. It is the same with marriage, the more energy we put into it, the sweeter the results. Sandalwood is cooling and calming, it reduces fever, agitation and anger, reminding us to be patient when difficulties arise, remaining cheerful and happy, radiating sweetness and gentleness like the sandalwood."
