Nikkah Ceremony

This ceremony will be the first of two wedding celebrations marking the beginning of our marriage. The Nikkah is a traditional Islamic wedding ceremony that we are honored to share with you. If you don’t know what a Nikkah ceremony is, here’s a brief explanation! A Nikkah is a sacred union that celebrates love, commitment, and faith. During the ceremony, the bride and groom formally express their consent to marriage in the presence of family, close friends, and witnesses. An officiant recites verses from the Quran and offers prayers of blessing for the couple. A key part of the Nikkah is the signing of the marriage contract (Nikkah Nama), which outlines the couple's responsibilities and includes the Mahr—a gift given to the bride as a token of respect and support. We are excited to share this special moment with all of you and look forward to celebrating the beginning of our new journey together!

The wedding ceremony will take place at the Surety Hotel. For your convenience, we have arranged a discounted room block for our guests.

The discounted rate ends April 23, 2025, so we suggest booking before then!

If you are flying in to celebrate our wedding, we recommend using Des Moines International Airport (DSM). It is the closest and most convenient airport to the venue.
