Nikah ceremony celebration
An Islamic wedding centers on the nikah, a marriage contract between bride and groom witnessed by family members and an imam or other officiant.
The ceremony typically includes recitation from the Quran, agreement to a mahr (gift from groom to bride), and the couple's public consent to marry.
Celebrations vary widely by culture, from elaborate multi-day festivities to simple gatherings, but the contract itself is the religious and legal essence: They had a traditional Islamic wedding at the mosque.
