Segregated or not? That is the question. A good friend of mine is trying to decide. What are the pros & cons??
I mentioned that if the wedding is segregated then she won’t get to sit w/ her hubby. I mean isn’t the wedding a celebration of the two coming together? Also, her dad and bros won’t get to see her for most of the event.
And what about those weddings where the groom sits on the ladies side (is this considered segregated?). I would think this would be uncomfortable for the groom.
The family is usually with the bride and groom.Be it segregated or otherwise.So far as Iv seen.
I've never seen a wedding where the bride and groom have been segregated as such. Rather, they sit together, even when ladies and gents are separated (even if by a curtain). Never made any sense to me, because all the boys in the family migrate over to the side of the dulha, dulhan (girl's side), and then they check out the ladies anyway.
I don't like it much, myself. People should be allowed to sit with their families, and mingle.
PyariCgudia I agree. I have been to many weddings where the event had been segregated, and then a huge clan of family/others come to see the bride and groom. Then you get some people that are offended that why the segregation wasn't respected, and you get others (other family members and such) that say that why can't we go to the other side to meet with the couple.
Is it possible to have a totally segregated event??
^ nope, its just a manifestation of the classical culture vs. religion problem
I prefer mixed weddings if I'm going with a few mates, segregated are boring (no eye candy) but if my mom and sisters are going then segregated, definately.
So you dont have respect for another guys mother and sisters? I see.
Yes its very possible to have a completely segregated wedding.YOu just have to make sure the person in charge of organizing the whole event is good at what he/she does.
Its all up to your friend though.

hmmmm...
i've alwyas wanted to have a segregated wedding, coz i want to get married in pakistan, and I want my cousins and mom to have fun and dress up and look good ya kno?
but u borught up a good point..i also want to slow -dance iwt my hubby and i want my brother and my dad there. i jsut don't want random guys staring at my cousins and makin em feel uncomfy
The definite plus is that women will feel comfortable dancing and celebrating, if they wish.
But I don't have any sisters, just two brothers, and I wouldn't want them, my father, and male cousins/friends missing out. Mixed for me.
i think segregated is more comfortanle, usually groom gotta sit in women section for a while bride doesnt go to men's one i m sure grooms mostly prefer that rather than having to make their bride sit in lots of men. just sit for a while n then run its more comfortable and besides beginning a new life you should be more careful about pleasing Allah.
