My “I Hate” for the week…

What’s the point of a Wedding Reception/Party?

Isn’t a very important part of this very intimate night is so we can enjoy each other and our day with our family and closest friends? How will you enjoy by being on two separate sides?!
If you choose to have a separate wedding, I guess it’s your right; it’s your night after all…it just doesn’t make sense to me what-so-ever…Religious reasons?! okay, I may be a bit dense, but it still doesn’t make sense…Once you start going to ’separate’ restaurants or ’separate’ malls, it may start making a bit more sense then!

I HATE separate weddings…

Qwaider, Where did that come from? What’s the ‘Western’ reason for having weddings then?!

The point of a wedding is to celebrate the union of two people. I understand what you mean about separate weddings seeming to defeat this purpose. But, the only reason separate weddings are separate is because the bride wears hijab, and would still like to dress up and look like a princess (with hair) on her special day. How is she supposed to accommodate those two things? If she has a mixed wedding, then she will have to cover her hair, and not reveal her vanity to other men (if that’s what her hijab means to her). How is that fun for her or even the guy? In a separate wedding, her husband can come in a few times and spend some time with her while she spends the rest of the time with her friends and family. Seems like a good compromise to me.
Ok, this is getting too long…
