Re: What is Islamiee

Islamiee is wht people give u n ur bride in the form of money..

Re: What is Islamiee

This is salami not islami, this is the money in an envelope given to groom on barat day from the relatives and friends of girl and given to bride on valima day from groom side relatives, close relative of groom give gold items or sets or gifts to bride instead of salami, the friends and some relatives (not closer) give salami.

Re: What is Islamiee

Re: What is Islamiee

^^ You are right Sehar .. my bad :D

Re: What is Islamiee

What if ya have seen that face before ?

Re: What is Islamiee

^ It's a tradition. People still do it, even if they've seen the face. A private gift from the groom to the bride. Though, not too private -- most people will ask the next day what he gave her.

Re: What is Islamiee

Re: What is Islamiee

Salami is the money u get from friends and family. The best part isn't it as you can njoy after the weddin,lots of savin done for the honeymoon :D

Salaami rasaam

Salam guppies...

Mum is wondering how to perform the Salaami rasaam at Baraat day and Walima day. What is normal for the parents to give to the bride and groom?

Mum was actually thinking of giving a watch and a ring to the groom. Should mum give the ring and dad give the watch? What amount of money is normal to give to the bride at the same time? I`m talking about U.K.

What amount of money is normal to give as salaami at Walima?

How did ur parents do this rasaam?

Very thankfull for ur replies....

Re: Salaami rasaam

Hey, I'm not sure, but I think the best thing would be for your parents to ask their peers.

Maybe ask your uncles/aunts who've married their kids off in the UK?

Salaami/Wedding gifts

What happens to the salaami (cash) or wedding gifts that bride and groom receive on their wedding? Do the parents keep them, bride and groom keep them, or are they given away?

Re: Salaami/Wedding gifts

i have my all salami gifts n cash in bank...coz alhamdullilah my parents n In laws dont need my money r things

From my experience, it goes to the bride and groom.

Re: Salaami/Wedding gifts

i think it goes to the bride n groom
and if bride was given certain salaami she should get to keep it....
unless some circumstance where the parents are not financially well off and then maybe give it to your parents as a share in the wedding...not sure
i kept mines

Re: Salaami/Wedding gifts

it goes to the bride and groom, and they can do whatever they want with it, give it to relatives, give it to charity, use it themselves etc.

Re: Salaami/Wedding gifts

well in my family it depends on who spends the $ on the wedding. Wedding gifts are different than Saalamis. The bride and the groom get to keep the saalami but the gifts such as $ given to the birde and groom as wedding present goes to the person who spends $ on the food and the hall. If the parents spend the $ it goes to the parents and if the groom spends $ on the valima all the valima day $ goes to the groom in a way the person who spends all the $ somewhat gets reimbursed for wut they spend which seems fair to me since wut they spend is in thousands of $ range

Re: Salaami/Wedding gifts

At my wedding, people gave salamis to us and seperate envelopes/ gifts to my parents. We kept what was given to us and my parents kept what was given to them.
