How do weddings in Pakistan happen? It depends on how lucky you are. This beautiful country is a paradise for all kinds of tourists from all parts of the world. If you are interested in arranging your wedding here you can be sure that it will be a beautiful and memorable day for both the bride and groom.
A wedding is a very auspicious day for the bride and the groom. The bride gets married only once and after this day she cannot remarry another man. There are certain rituals that have to be followed by both the bride and the groom before they proceed any further. So, it’s necessary to plan your event in the right manner. It would be better if you could plan your event as per the wishes of your guests.
You must make sure that you arrange for the right venue for the wedding. The bride and the groom need to decide a date and get married on this day. The wedding ceremony will start at a specific time and the guests will have to be ready for it. Also, the bride needs to dress formally as this is one of the most important days in her life. A lot of importance is given to the looks of a bride, so planning your wedding properly is very important.
The venue for the wedding of the bride is decided at the time of marriage. If you are getting married in the holy month of Ramadan, then the wedding venue needs to be in Islamabad or in Rawal Lake. The bride and the groom can have a small meal during the day and then proceed to the reception hall for the big meal. On this special day the wedding ceremony will be carried live on TV by the mullahs.
It is not compulsory to get married in the holy month of Ramadan. If you and your partner want to get married during this month then you need to book your wedding venue early. Most of the Mulsains (clerical Muslims) regard it as religiously improper to get married on the day of Ramadan.
The first ceremony is the ‘Nauhar Biryani’ where the bride’s father gives thanks to Allah for granting her a special day of happiness. After this the bride steps into the holy fire which is accompanied by her groom and their followers. This is the moment when the vows are taken by both the families for their holy bond.
The wedding ceremony in Pakistan can be a simple, straightforward affair or it can also be very extravagant. As mentioned earlier, the bride and the groom need to plan the wedding well in advance. So, you can choose to get married during a popular festival like Eid-ul-Fitr. There is a huge rush for brides to come to Pakistan and get married during this festive period so if you don’t have a back up plan you might find it very hard to arrange a wedding on such an auspicious day. So, if you are looking for a special day to get married, try and arrange your wedding sometime before or around this special occasion. This way you can avoid any last minute hassles and make the whole process much smoother.
The wedding contract is one of the most important papers that a bride needs to finalize. It clearly states the duties, financial commitments and other details about the marriage. The contract also includes the dowry payment, which is usually paid by the bride’s family to her groom. Many times the dowry payment is non-refundable, which means that the bride’s family has to come up with the money in the event that the bride’s family does not agree to pay the dowry.
