:scratch: *waits patiently* :coolbro:

[Cristiana]

The tip is DON'T let it get mental, DON'T have a billion relative in your house and DON'T invite your uncle from Timbuktoo :up:

Don't allow it to be in ANY WAY stressful. Make it what you want it to be.

Remember that what's really BIG is from that day ONWARDS insha'Allah! :up: :inlove:

[LFC]

Hire Ibn K as the clown :D


:outta:

We should send mohyai for that. They'll never know what hit them. :D

[souljaa]

It's a wedding, not a funeral :p

[ADZ w3]

chill relax and enjoy the day n LOOK GOOD loool

w.salam

[Medievalist]

Weddings are always stressful, there's always someone throwing a wobbly **roll eyes**

However I think the waleemah tends to be a lot easier - least mine was. Wedding day everyones nervous cos they dont want jack to happen before the nikah happens, there's always the fear that summat will happen and the rishta will be broken etc. There was a case in our locality back home where two baraats came for the one house - boy did that get hugly. :rofl1:

How to avoid stress?

Kinda unavoidable I think. What I found good was having my sehra on for a few hours before my nikah - cut me off from everything so that was gud.

keeping things smooth means making sure you have everything the guests might ask for!! a good one being tissue!!! then just be happy!! and your guests will automatically be the same!!! its a joyous occasion pre planning about possible disasters and what not just makes the whole thing nerve racking!! and just pessimistic!! theres no need for it!!!
Practicality issues, like how do you ensure everyone stays segregated when their is uncle jees saying they need to speak to their wives..and how do you actually keep a wedding interesting? And what general tips do you have for the "big day"?

the wedding is interesting as it is right!! thats why they've attended in the first place!! :D

maybe split people into rooms by gender!! and a few brothers can stay in the middle of them both that could pass messages on to tell the aunty jee's that the husbands bothering them again!!?!!

And also...what do you do if there are a few Ummah members coming to the wedding insha'Allah *runs*


3 words!! well actually four! treat them with royalty!!!

this advise has been issued by the unexperienced. thank you for your time!!!

[Redmist]

Get all the 'lads' (helpers) together and decide whos doing what at the 'mashwara' so everyone knows what they're doing and everything goes smoothly on the day!

[ibn suleman]

MAbrooks :D

im sure sumones getting married ;)

[tayfah-mansurah]

recently scholars have said that when the bride groom and bride just sit together in front of everyone through the wedding, and how thats an innovation and does not have to be done

Its essential when you will establish the order at table (each person where sit) to keep in mind who with whom are closer. :) Don't put two relatives which always quarell in the same place.

no idea but congrats

[muhammed_1428]

I don't mean to assume that you're Pakistani or Indian, but this is well worth a read for anyone familiar with Asian weddings and wants to have a laugh!

http://the-alif-team.blogspot.com/2006/04/pakistani-weddings-saga-that-is.html

Also, best thing to do is avoid stress, but not in the sense that you bottle it in, geez imagine losing your nerve at the woman who tries to snatch ure shoes! Not desirable...

Just look forward to the honeymoon and holiday! And don't forget to make Du'a both before and after the ceremony (personally and with your wife afterwards if you want)

All the best and JZK brother!

[Redmist]

Whats it matter to you anyway Abu M......if there a few hitches at the wedding!

Dont worry abaat it, you just make ur wife happy :D

[Abu Muslim]

Hehe, this thread is pretty..funny. Jazak'Allahu khair for everyones decent input..and erm, I'm not stressing, I was just asking *scratch*


recently scholars have said that when the bride groom and bride just sit together in front of everyone through the wedding, and how thats an innovation and does not have to be done

Thankyou for your valuable input bro, but what on Allahs Earth has that got to do with anything? *scratch* Here, have a keebab for your time.

Make sure you have a good no wait gr8 wedding planner! Once u got that sorted everything will b a peice of cake, he-she will take care of everything from flowers to catering to even long lost weird cousins! Handilng or trying 2 handle everything urself is just gonna stress you out and spoil all the fun, cuz ul b fretting every 5 secs. Mk sure you have the seating done props, otherwise ul have a gazillion ppl all over the place cuz they just wanted say "hi" 2 each other, i think most of us know the "hi'z" go on 4 hourz! The time on wedding cards shuld b at least 2 hrz b4 u want 2 start the function, cuz every1z alwayz late! Mmm ^^^ enuf 4 now!:p

[S@Z]

my 2 cents on the Big Day ::: jet off to meccah, and get married in the haram < time & money wisely spent, no wastage of food, and no fikr of any peeping toms :up:

Alhamdulilah well thats that over and everything went smoothly without any segregation problems, except one random uncle casucally walking in and looking at the decorations and being in his own dreamwolrd, but tnot bad for a bunch of asians.

In my honest opinion, I think hiring a wedding planner ruins the fun of the wedding, well for the sisters side anyways, seems like half the fun is organising the things.

bruv whts the mandem wearing like? i dnt have no suit or anything:o n i dont have shoes either:o

Bruv, dont watch that, told you not to worry about clothes lol


i dont think abu muslim is actually getting married :scratch:

Correct you are, was fun to see the reactions though hehe.
