mine took almost 8 months before wedding........... it had to be a separate function in hall......but my mamu died just 15 days before taht so we ended wth a simple cermony at home wth only immediate family member wth casual dresses
i had my nikkah in the masjid in front of all my guests and then after we had the reception in a banquet hall, which was right next door. It worked out great, alhumdulillah.
Like most of the girls here, mine is also going to be on Mehdni day inshaAllah :) and its going to be in the banquet hall we've booked for mehndi function. It also helps you in the photo session if you don't feel comfortable in taking photos with a stranger (your fiance :P)...because then he becomes your husband religiously speaking, so nobody can have any objection.
I wasn't comfortable with having one of those public nikaahs so I had mine at a mosque around asr time the day before my mehndi (2 days before reception).
I had always wanted mine to be a very intimate/low key event with only the closest of family members in attendance.
alhumdulliah that is how it happened ... 4/2010 calif USA
ruskhsati is to be in 11/2010 Lahore, pk ... inshallah
mine is going to be in the masjid the day before the mehndi. Thats how I wanted it, and my fiance wanted it that way as well. That way, when we take pics at the mehndi, no one can say anything, cause religiously speaking, we are already married!

2020? Wow that's a long time. Was your nikkah done at home or at the masjid?
^woops ... that was a typo! ... :D .... that is a long wait indeed. I meant 2010.
nikah was in a hotel .... we had a large conference room emptied and re-organized/furnished/decorated according to our wishes.
it was lovely and peaceful ...and focused mainly on the enormity of the commitment I had just agreed to taken on! ... yikes!
I had my Nikkah done in June of this year at home on a friday. It was a small affair but my sister decorated the living room very beautifully for the event. My sisters and cousins worked so hard to make this one week decision a memorable day. My cousin did my mehndi, my khala made my flower garlands, my sisters/cousins/brothers all helped with the assembly of the 'mini' stage for the function, my cousins/sisters helped with my dupatta. The intimate feeling you have with a small function cannot be felt with such an overwhelming function with hundreds of people all bickering and just criticizing. That can be saved for the rukhsti. :)
It didn't matter to me how many people attended the function or where it was held what matters in the end are the people who love you and who take the time from their hectic schedules to take the week off to sleep over in your living room all over the place a week before your nikkah to help with the decorations, chairs, moving of the sofas, mehndi designs, ironing and cleaning. I mean only 65 people attended the Nikkah and it was one the best nights for everyone.
my hubby was in pakistan, so they have sended us the nikkah forms from there,
ihv signed them here at my home so after 2 weeks my father went 2 pakistan and th completed nikkah was performed in masjid
so we just invited my cousin's family, the 2 witness of nikkah and we didn't make a party out of it.
my father invited the rest of the familiy in pakistan for our nikkah
and on my nikkah it was my father's bday and jumma tul wida in ramzan
it has been performed after jumma prayers
it was on 26.09.2008
all my realtives are in pakistan so the rest we did in pakistan
We had a huge nikah in Lahore pakistan because my husband's family was all in pakistan at that time and decided that for his side we would do a big function in pakistan. This was in 2005. I came back to U.S and applied for his immigration and he came in 2008. We got married that year in U.S and had our valima here.
