An Islamic weddings consists of, well first the engagement. Then comes the mehndi (henna ceremony), and then the barat (wedding day), and last but not least the walima (feast).
People apply mehndi on the groom/bride's toes and hands. They feed her sweets and sing traditional songs teasing the bride's/groom's appearences. The bride mostly wears something sunny, like orange, yellow salwaar kameez.
The barat is the day where the wedding actually takes place. It can be anywhere, in a hall, tent, etc. Most commonly the bride wears red lenghas (a skirt secured to the waist.) and choli (blouse). At the near ending of the wedding, the groom takes the bride away.
The waleemah is a place where you can just have a big dinner and laugh and talk with your family.
(I must honestly say, it's much better then the Christian/catholic weddings. There are a number of days in Islamic weddings before the real wedding begins.)

tassan Ratri_Cat @tassan: why are weddings prohibited in that month? well in the month of Moharam weddings are prohibited because that is the saddest month in the year because alot of people were died!! (they had got shahadat but duno how to say it in english) and for that reason listening to songs(marriage songs) is haram so no body does marriage in that month!! other reason can be that when islamic weddings are done in my neibourhood the baraat could be the reason for prohibiting marriages in moharan since shi'a muslims make rallies on the day of 21 Moharam and a few other days!! so that the saddest rally does not see the happy baraat!! i guess this would be the simple answer to it!!
what month would that be in English...?
i'm really lost now. sad |

The Dead Terrorist Achmed tassan, I think you guys forgot that poor Ratri hardly knows any Arabic. I think all she knows is "inshallah" and one swear word xd I know I occasionally get lost in all the 12th century jargon. We go by a lunar calandar, so the months always change. but just say for example Moharam is currently in the month of ______ for this year. That's what I think she's asking.
it was in January in this year!
it is passed!!
and that was the reason i did not celebrated new year!!
by celebrating i mean sending emails to people of happy new year! ^_^ |
