Nikkah - Shaadi/Baarat

Yeh, most couples have it during the shaadi function in front of all the guests. But what to do when you don’t want 300-500 random people at your nikkah? Doing it in advance makes sense then, and doing it in the mosque just makes it more of a special moment.

I guess the purpose of splitting it up is so that the nikkah can be in the mosque.

No offence to the OP, but I don’t see the point of conducting the nikkah in the mosque and then having a regular pakistani function later on with all the things it entails.

**I understand your perspective, but sometimes you have to work with what you have. I personally want a separate nikkah because I want it to be private with only close family, followed by a valima. My fiance, however, really wants to have a Baraat function because his family is particular about the rasams it entails. Thus we’ll probably be having the separate nikkah, followed by the baraat reception, and a small valima the next day.

Just because you have a nikkah in the masjid doesn’t mean you can’t have a reception as well.
