Ever been to one? I found this on vimeo…
Very great video coverage and beautiful wedding. They seem like they love each other and are a nice couple. May Allah guide them.
Re: Muslim and Hindu wedding
OMG! That is adorable! And I love how colorful everything was.
Re: Muslim and Hindu wedding
Love the video. Never been to one personally...lol I can already imagine what my mom would be saying "Ismaeli hoga ladka hmpph"LMAO.

She does make a religious point though. However, they might not be very religious. I guess to each their own.
In terms of the video it has been nicely made. The event seems quite fun.
Re: Muslim and Hindu wedding
Even then...its very uncommon. I can only think of Noorjehan's grand daughter as another example. Seems pretty common with the b-wood starts though. But yeah "to each their own"!
Re: Muslim and Hindu wedding
yup, i've been to one muslim/hindu wedding....groom was muslim...
they did a small, quiet nikkah FIRST and then
a HUGE Punjabi Hindu wedding, complete with saat phere under the mandap! the groom said he was sooo nervous the entire time, and was reciting pehla kalma in his heart!!
the couple has two daughters, now in their teens, who are raised muslim, as the bride converted! they are the cutest couple, and still maintain very close relations with her family....the brides parents respect the SIL and accepted their daughters choices in leaving her religion and accepting his.

Bollywood theme is what you dream of as well I bet :p
There are a few Pakistani girls married to Hindus. Sonya Jehan being one of them, yes.
Re: Muslim and Hindu wedding
I know the couple in the video. The boy's side is moderate-liberal and I don't think either converted.
I went to one other hindu-muslim wedding where the girl was muslim and from a pretty "conservative" family. Anyways, it was a really odd wedding in general. There were NO aunties/uncles or anyone from the girl's side. Just her immediate family and then like 10-15 college friends (in which only 2 of us were Muslim). His side however had the typical desi "feel" in teh sense that his parents, extended family, friends EVERYONE was there. It was just really off-balance. And then, there was no religious element of any kind present. They walked in dancing, took pictures, served food, cut cake and that was it. I know I might be of a traditional mindset but I've always thought weddings in ANY culture/religion were a spiritual event so it was SO odd to go somewhere that was completely void of it.
My personal opinion on hindu-muslim marriages aside, it was a verrry awkward wedding.

it's okay. My parents heard about the wedding and were like "everyone should've boycotted"
Re: Muslim and Hindu wedding

Re: Muslim and Hindu wedding
I dont really wanna comment on Hindu/Muslim mixed weddings, but this video was really sweet, the song was so appropriate too. At least they looked happy anyways

Re: Muslim and Hindu wedding
islamically, any marriage between hindu and muslim is considered zinna.

Re: Muslim and Hindu wedding
Dear Deeba 1234,
Since I have never mentioned religion anywhere on my blog, I find it strange that you came to the conclusion that I was Muslim (or, more hysterically, "mixed religion," whatever that means). However, your assumption was incorrect. I am not Muslim. And therefore, my wedding was NOT an example of a Hindu-Muslim wedding. It was a secular wedding. As such I request you to remove my links from this thread.

I'm sorry, it was an honest mistake.
People do mistake others' religions all the time. There was no negativity or maliciousness in my post so not sure why you had to comment on that one phrase as being 'hysterical.' I only linked to your blog (as many others on this forum have done to other blogs) as I thought others might be genuinely interested in seeing the different traditions and so on. Again, I'm sorry if I offended you.
