Re: sisters ONLY - it's about bridal dresses - brothers fear Allah

I would like to wear the niqab one day inshaAllah, altho I am of the opinion it is recommended rather than obligatory.

I've been wearing the hijab for a few months now alhamdulillah, my family are still freaking out over that for now so I don't want to push my luck by wearing the niqab.

Ah ok. Hijab as in abaya/jilbaab?

I know, also when you think about the wedding videos and pictures which are so popular particularly in Asian communities - would be difficult with cameramen and photographers all over the place.

I've said I'd like a segregated wedding - if not that then probably I would wear the niqab.

Niqaab and free-mixing does really mix well if you know what I mean??

Yes, at the moment I wear the abayah although I'm thinking of going onto jilbaab - I like the coverage of them more.

Well not free-mixing to that extent.

In non-segregated weddings I've been too the men be on one side of the hall and women be on the other, they can see one another but they don't interact much. Or if it's done in the house the men and women are separated but there's a lot of coming and going as people pass through rooms. I'd prefer a completely segregated wedding but if not then I'd wear the niqab if the arrangement was like that.
