A wedding reception is a post-nikah celebration where family and friends gather to bless the couple. It usually starts with a grand entry of the bride and groom, followed by them sitting on a decorated stage for greetings and photos. Guests offer congratulations, gifts, and take pictures with the couple. A formal dinner is served, often featuring traditional dishes like biryani and desserts. Depending on the family's values, there may be separate seating for men and women. Photography and videography capture the event, and some families include short speeches, duas, or light entertainment. The reception ends with guests offering final blessings and farewells to the newlyweds. It’s a joyful occasion to celebrate love, unity, and the start of a new life together.
