My Wedding - Speech or Presentation Example

It takes devotion and discretion for any marriage to make it nowadays, and mine isn't any different. Ours was a customary Muslim marriage arranged by our family before we even met. As Muslim custom dictates, he came over and everything was settled between him and my parents, and during the entire process my face was to remain covered. Later in the evening, my female relatives and friends were invited over for dinner during which my husband would see my face for the first time in front of them.

The wedding finally took place in the summer on 11th June 2014. We were still in the US at the time, so all the wedding arrangements were made by my family. On the wedding day, Ali went to the barbershop during which he would bond with his male counterparts. There was lunch at the farm for our family and friends as we waited for the actual feast in the evening. In my case, a day prior to the wedding, as Muslim custom dictates, my female friends and high would bond while we put henna on our hands and feet.

I woke up very excited on the wedding day, put on my white dress and went to the wedding venue to wait for my husband. The parties were held separately, and I felt overwhelmed with all the love and support I received from my friends and family congratulating me for my wedding and expressing their happiness. Later in the evening, the groom’s party finally joined us, and the festivities continued up to 3 a.m. with people mingling, dancing, taking photos and feasting in the variety of food.

The wedding day is then followed by the Subahia, a small party is held in which the bride and the groom receive gifts from their family, friends and relatives.Everything turned out to be a success given the support I got from my family and friends on this special day.
