The burning of engagement before the wedding took place at Buckingham Palace and St James Park was at this time the opportunity is limited and we had to deal with rapidly changing weather conditions, but we managed some nice shots and have fun in the process.

Traditional Muslim Wedding Gift

Via : Islamic Marital Practices

Muslim weddings

China
China_Muslim_Wedding

Prominent Muslims in China, such as Generals, followed standard marriage practices in the 20th century, such as using western clothing like white wedding dresses. Chinese Muslim marriages resemble typical Chinese marriages except traditional Chinese religious rituals are not used.

India_Muslim_Wedding

India

Muslims in India normally follow marriage customs that are similar to those practiced by Muslims of the Middle-East, which are based on Islamic convention. These Islamic traditions were first handed down to medieval Indians by propagators of the Islamic religion that involved sultans and Moghul rulers at the time. The blueprint is the same as the Middle-Eastern Nikah, a pattern seen in marriage ceremonies of Sunnis and Shias. Traditional Muslim Indian wedding celebrations typically last for three days. Prior to the observance of the wedding ceremony proper, two separate pre-wedding rituals, which involve traditional dancing and singing, occurs in two places: at the groom’s house and at the bride’s home.

On the eve of the wedding day, a bridal service known as the Mehndi ritual or henna ceremony is held at the bride’s home. This ritual is sometimes done two days before the actual wedding day. During this bridal preparation ritual, turmeric paste is placed on the bride’s skin for the purpose of improving and brightening her complexion. Then henna or mehndi, is applied on the bride’s hands and feet, by the mehndiwali, a female relative.

The Indian Islamic wedding ceremony is also preceded by a marriage procession known as the groom’s baraat. From this convoy arrives the groom, who will share a sherbet drink with a brother of his bride, while at the place of the marriage ceremony which could either be at the house of either groom or bride or another venue. This drinking ritual happens as the sisters of the bride does some tomfooleries and playfully striking guests using flower-filled cudgels.

The wedding ceremony, known as Nikaah, is officiated by the Maulvi, a priest also called Qazi. Among the important wedding participants are the Walises, or the fathers of both groom and bride. and the bride's legal representative. It is the bride's father who promises his daughter's hand to the groom, a ritual known as the Kanya-dhan. Also in this formal occasion, particularly in conventional Islamic weddings, when men and women typically have separate seating arrangements. Another common practice are wedding sequences that include the reading of Quranic verses, the groom’s proposal and bride’s acceptance parts known as the Ijab-e-Qubul or the ijab and qabul, the decision-making of the bride’s and groom’s families regarding the price of the matrimonial financial endowment known as the Mehar or Mehr (a dower no less than ten dirhams), which will come from the family of bridegroom. Blessings and prayers are then given by older women and other guests to the couple. In return the groom gives salutatory salaam wishes to his blessers, especially to female elders. The bride also usually receives gifts known generally as the burri, which may be in the form of gold jewelries, garments, money, and the like.

The marriage contract document is known as the Nikaahnama, and is signed not only by the couple but also by the Walises and the Maulvi.

After the Nikaah, the now married couple joins each other; to be seated among commonly separately-seated male and female attendees. The groom is customarily brought first to the women's area in order for him to be able to present gifts to his wife's sister. Although jointly seated, the bride and the groom can only observe one another via mirrors, and a copy of the Quran is placed in between their assigned seats. With their heads sheltered by a dupatta and while guided by the Maulvi, the couple reads Muslim prayers.

After the wedding ceremony, the bride is brought to her new home: the house of her husband, to be welcomed by her mother-in-law who will be holding a copy of the Quran over the bride’s head.

The wedding reception hosted by the bride’s family is known as the Valimah or the Dawat-e-walima. Then, as custom dictates, the groom will stay in his wife's home overnight, but will be lodged inside a separate room and not with his wife. On the fourth day after the Nikaah, the bride performs the Chauthi, a trip to her parents' house.

Malay

Malay wedding traditions, such as those that occur in Singapore, normally include the betrothal, the determination of the bridal dowry known as the hantaran agreed upon by both the parents’ of the groom and the bride (usually done one year before the solemnization of marriage), delivery of gifts and the dowry (the istiadat hantar belanja), the marriage solemnization (the upacara akad nikah) at the bride’s home or in a mosque, the henna application ritual known as the berinai, the costume changing of the couple known as the tukar pakaian for photography sessions, a Sunday feast-meal for guests, and the bersanding or the sitting-in-state ceremony of the couple at their own home. Prior to being able to meet his bride, sometimes a mak andam, a “beautician”, or any member of the family of the bride will intercept the groom to delay the joining of the would-be spouses; only after the groom was able to pay a satisfactory “entrance fee” could he finally meet her bride. The wedding ceremony proper is usually held on a weekend, and involves exchanging of gifts, Quranic readings and recitation, and displaying of the couple while within a bridal chamber. While seated at their “wedding throne”, the newly-weds are showered with uncooked rice and petals, objects that signify fertility. The guests of the wedding celebration are typically provided by the couple with gifts known as the bunga telur or “flower and egg”. The gifted eggs are traditionally eggs dyed with red coloring and are placed inside cups or other suitable containers bottomed with glutinous rice. These eggs also symbolize fertility, a marital wish hoping that the couple will bear many offspring. However, these traditional gifts are now sometimes replaced by non-traditional chocolates, jellies, or soaps.

The marriage contract that binds the marital union is called the Akad Nikah, a verbal agreement sealed by a financial sum known as the mas kahwin, and witnessed by three persons. Unlike in the past when the father of the bride customarily acts as the officiant for the ceremonial union, current-day Malay weddings are now officiated by the kadhi, a marriage official and Shariat or Syariat Court religious officer.

Philippines_Muslim_Wedding

Philippines

Muslim communities in the Philippines include the Tausug tribe, a group of people in Jolo who practice matrimonial activities based on their own ethnic legislation and the laws of Islam. Their customary and legal matrimony is composed of negotiated arranged marriage (pagpangasawa), marriage through the “game of abduction” (pagsaggau), and elopement (pagdakup). Furthermore, although Tausug men may acquire two wives, bigamous or plural marriages are rare. Tausug matrimonial customs generally include the negotiation and proclamation of the bridewealth (the ungsud) which is a composition of the “valuables for the offspring” or dalaham pagapusan (in the form of money or an animal that cannot be slaughtered for the marital feast), the "valuables dropped in the ocean" or dalaham hug a tawid, which are intended for the father of the bride; the basingan which is a payment – in the form of antique gold or silver Spanish or American coins – for the transference of kingship rights toward the usba or “male side”; the “payment to the treasury” (sikawin baytal-mal, a payment to officers of the law and wedding officiants); the wedding musicians and performers; wedding feast costs; and the guiding proverb that says a lad should marry by the time he has already personally farmed for a period of three years. This is the reason why young Tausug males and females typically marry a few years after they reached the stage of puberty.

Regular arranged Tausug marriages through negotiation are typically according to parental wishes, although sometimes the son will also suggest a woman of his choice. This is the ideal, esteemed, and considered “most proper” in the legal point of view of Tausug culture, despite of being a time-consuming and costly practice for the groom. If the parents disagree with their son’s choice of a woman to marry, he might decide to resort to a marriage by abducting the woman of his choice, run away, run amuck, or choose to become an outlaw. In relation to this type of marriage, another trait that is considered ideal in Tausug marriage is to wed sons and daughters with first or second cousins, due to the absence of difficulty in negotiating and simplification of land inheritance discussions. However, there is also another way of arranging a Tausug marriage, which is through the establishment of maglillah pa maas sing babai or by “surrendering to the lady’s parents”, wherein the lad proclaims his intention while at the house of the parents of the woman of his choice; he will not depart until he receives permission to marry. In other circumstances, the lad offers a sum of money to the parents of the lass; a refusal by the father and mother of the woman would mean paying a fine or doubling the price offered by the negotiating man.

“Abduction-game marriages” are characteristically in accord with the grooms’ requests, and are performed either by force or “legal fiction”. This strategy of marrying a woman is actually a “courtship game” that expresses a Tausug man’s masculinity and bravery. Although the woman has the right to refuse marrying her “abductor”, reluctance and refusal does not always endure because the man will resort to seducing the “abductee”. In the case of marriages done through the game of abduction, the bridewealth offered is a gesticulation to appease the woman’s parents.

Elopements are normally based on the brides’ desires, which may, at times, are made to resemble a “bride kidnapping” situation (i.e. a marriage through the game of abduction) in order to prevent dishonoring the woman who wished to be eloped. One way of eloping is known to the Tausugs as muuy magbana or the "homecoming to get hold of a husband", wherein a Tausug woman offers herself to the man of her choice or to the parents of the man who she wants to become her spouse. Elopement is also a strategy used by female Tausugs in order to be able to enter into a second marriage, or done by an older unwed lady by seducing a man who is younger than her.

During the engagement period, the man may render, although not obligatory, services to his bride’s parents in the form of performing household chores. After the period of engagement has lapsed, the marital-union ceremony is observed by feastings, delivery of the whole bridewealth, slaughtering of a carabao or a cow, playing gongs and native xylophones, reciting prayers in the Arabic and Tausug languages, symbolic touching by the groom of his bride’s forehead, and the couple’s emotionless sitting-together ritual. In some instances when a groom is marrying a young bride, the engagement period may last longer until the Tausug lass has reached the right age to marry; or the matrimonial ceremony may proceed – a wedding the Tausug termed as “to marry in a handkerchief” or kawin ha saputangan – because the newly-wed man can live after marriage at the home of his parents-in-law but cannot have marital sex with his wife until she reaches the legal age.

Tausug culture also allows the practice of divorce.

United Arab Emirates

United_Arab_Emirates_Wedding

Generally, wedding ceremonies in the United Arab Emirates traditionally involves scheduling the wedding date, preparation for the bride and groom, and carousing with dancing and singing which takes place one week or less prior to the wedding night. Bridal preparation is done by women by anointing the body of the bride with oil, application of perfumes to the bride's hair, use of creams, feeding the bride with special dishes, washing the bride’s hair with amber and jasmine extracts, use of the Arabian Kohl or Arabian eye liner, and decorating the hands and feet with henna (a ritual known as the Laylat Al Henna or “henna night” or "night of henna", and performed a few days before being wed; during this evening, other members of the bride’s family and guests also place henna over their own hands). The Emirati bride stays at her dwelling for forty days until the marriage night, only to be visited by her family. Later, the groom offers her items that she will use to create the Addahbia, a dowry which is composed of jewelry, perfumes, and silk, among others.

In Dubai, one of the seven emirates of the UAE, the traditional Bedouin wedding is a ceremonial that echoes the earliest Arab concept of matrimony, which emphasizes that marital union is not simply a joining together of a man and a woman but the coming together of two families. Traditionally lasting for seven days, Bedouin marriage preparations and celebration starts with the marriage proposal known as the Al Khoutha, a meeting of the groom’s father and bride’s father; the purpose of the groom’s father is to ask the hand of the bride from the bride’s father for marriage; and involves the customary drinking of minty Arab tea. After this, the negotiating families proceed with the Al Akhd, a marriage contract agreement. The bride goes through the ritual of a “bridal shower” known as Laylat Al Henna, the henna tattooing of the bride’s hands and feet, a service signifying attractiveness, fortune, and healthiness. The Al Aadaa follows, a groom-teasing rite done by the friends of the bride wherein they ask compensation after embellishing the bride with henna. The ceremonial also involves a family procession towards the bride’s home, a re-enactment of a war dance known as Al Ardha, and the Zaahbaah or the displaying of the bride’s garments and the gifts she received from her groom’s family. In the earliest versions of Bedouin wedding ceremonies, the groom and the bride goes and stays within a tent made of camel hair, and that the bride is not to be viewed in public during the nuptial proceedings. The wedding concludes with the Tarwaah, when the bride rides a camel towards her new home to live with her husband. After a week, the bride will have a reunion with her own family. Customarily, the groom will not be able to join his bride until the formal wedding procedure ended. The only place where they will finally see each other is at their post-wedding dwelling.

Established Bedouin wedding customs also entail the use of hand-embroidered costumes, the dowry, and the bridewealth. Islamic law dictates that the jewelry received by the bride becomes her personal property.

ALEXA CHUNG stars of the cover of the June issue of Vogue. Inside the issue, he goes horse riding with Christa D'Souza and talks obsession, Twitter, her new "secret" tv pilot and designing for Madewell. From the small screen to fashion's front row - her one-of-a-kind look inspires legions of copycats keen to emulate her trademark kooky style. Here, they look back at her fashion evolution.

The show was cancelled in 2007, but by then her style was firmly on our radar and he went on to present a considerable number of T4 special programmes before becoming of the regular T4 presenters. In the work of this time he was a red carpet favourite, winning over fashion critics by appearing in a succession of off-beat but well assembled outfits - usually with a tan Mulberry Piccadilly bag dangling from her arm.

He was 16 years elderly when he was scouted at the Reading Festival by Jane Duval who signed her up to Storm Models in 1999. As a model he appeared in commercial campaigns for Fanta, Sony Ericsson and Urban Outfitters - and appeared in music videos for The Streets, Westlife and Delta Goodrem - before beginning her career as a TV presenter on Channel 4's Popworld in 2006.

SEE ALEXA'S HAIR EVOLUTION

Such was her love for Mulberry that, for spring/summer 2010, Emma Hill designed a bag in her honour -the Alexa - which became of the It-bags of 2010 (see the Alexa on the catwalk here).

He turned her hand to designing in 2010 with a Sixties-inspired collection for J Crew's father brand, Madewell, which featured high-waisted shorts, Breton T-shirts and silky blouses worn with socks and sandals.

Following a stint on Gok's Fashion Fix as a roving reporter - for which he interviewed Roberto Cavalli, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier and Christian Lacroix and which he described as "pretty much my dream job" in the Observer - Alexa moved to New York to host her own chat show, It is On With Alexa Chung on MTV.

She is worn Chanel, Valentino, PPQ, Topshop, Acne and - before the brand went in to administration - he was often seen in Luella. He charted her looks every day for a month on our Today I am Wearing photo-blog - see her every day fashion choices here - and here they take a glance at her style, then and now.

One Penny Wedding Dress

Are you getting married soon? Do you find yourself strapped for wedding dress money? Do you have a heartbreaking story to tell? Today might be your lucky day, then, because a New York blogger recently snagged a very nice Jessica McClintock gown for the low price of one penny, and is offering to give it away to whoever emails her with the best story by October 1st.

1-Cent-Wedding-Dress

It all started when dating blogger Yue Xu went with her friend to futz around in Nordstrom Rack trying on gaudy dresses. A non-gaudy wedding dress caught her eye when she saw that it was marked down from $275 to $.01. Both women went into the dressing room to try stuff on.

Via Singlefied:

A couple minutes later, Vanessa comes out in a hot pink, one-shoulder, ruffled silk chiffon gown that I jokingly claim to not have enough “pop.” She is then astonished by my simple yet elegant wedding gown that looks so nice that we can no longer giggle about it. I exclaim, “If this is $0.01, I’m getting it”.

We rush to the nearest employee and she of course says, “This is a mistake. I will get the price for you right away.” She disappears for about 5 minutes while I’m thinking how ridiculous I look right now standing in the middle of the store cradling a wedding gown in my arms. “You can’t carry a wedding gown like a pair of Levi’s.” The associate finally comes back, walks briskly to me and whispers, “Yeah, it’s a penny” and bolts out of my sight.

Absolutely bewildered, I still don’t completely believe it. I carry the gown to the cashier and not surprisingly I hear, “This has to be a mistake.” Before I know it, 5 employees are gathered around me repeatedly scanning the price tag that repeatedly displays, “$0.01.” After much debate, a manager shows up, susses out the situation, and deliberates, “This was a price discrepancy and should have never been on the floor, however a customer caught it before an employee did, so per policy, we have to honor the price".

After getting a deal like that, I’d be tempted to keep the dress as a trophy, but Yue is a better person than me so she’s giving it away. She says she’s not planning on getting married any time soon and the dress is taking up space in her apartment, so she’s going to give it to whichever bride-to-be sends her the most touching and/or interesting story. Any broke size 4′s who want the dress should email her using the contact form on her blog. The world can be a nice place, sometimes.
