Wedding

Nov 16

A harmonious blend of Lamia and Abdullah’s Muslim South Asian heritage and American identities, from the intricate flower curtain framing the aisle to the full veil worn by the bride, each element was a nod to the centuries old customs of a traditional Nikkah ceremony seamlessly interwoven with the familiar sights of a Western wedding. Symbolically, the Nikkah ceremony represents the joining of two individuals in a lifelong commitment to each other and to the principles of Islam. It is a solemn and joyous occasion celebrated with prayers, blessings, and the exchange of vows, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of the bride and groom as they embark on their journey together as partners in faith and love.
