I hate separate weddings.. I hate wedding parties to start with.
I’ve already decided that I won’t have a wedding party anyways

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

Iman, i have a “constant missing” to chicago, but not when it is so so cold!! although i love X-Mas time and shopping during this season. I am happy to be here when it is warm and nice, despite the explosions! it beats any cold

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…
