Schedule of Events

Bringing two traditions together makes for quite a few events! Here's a schedule of what to expect for our wedding! Please see below for more information on our Islamic, Catholic, and Secular celebrations.

Saturday, October 1, 2022

Nikkah

5:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Semi-Formal: White or pastel colored South Asian attire OR white/pastel colored button down shirts, slacks, suits and modest cocktail dresses are all welcome.

The Nikkah is the Islamic marriage vows ceremony, which is very sacred. A religious sermon on marriage takes place, followed by religious vows the bride and groom accept, and ends with a ring ceremony. Dinner will be served afterwards. This intimate event is for immediate family, wedding party, and a few close friends only.
