wedding
Muslim wedding rituals include Ruksat where the bride’s family bids her goodbye as she leaves to her husband’s home. This is an emotional ceremony between the parents and their daughter as her father gives her hand to the husband with a promise that he will, at all times, protect her from all evil things. As the bride enters the new home, the Holy Quran is held above her head as she takes steps in the home. The bride seeks the blessings of all the elderly members in the groom’s family. following the Ruksat, the groom’s family (or both the families nowadays) host a post-wedding celebration called Daawat-e-Walima. Both the families celebrate the union of the newly-wed couple by providing a scrumptious feast to friends and family with everyone singing and dancing their hearts out to enjoy this joyous occasion. It is all about enjoying the moment as two souls come together to embark on a new journey together. The near and dear ones wishes the couple a lifetime of health and happiness.
