Manzoor & Rehana

The wedding ceremonies held in Kashmir are as beautiful as the land itself. If Kashmir is the heaven on Earth, then the wedding ceremonies of the Kashmiri Muslims are certainly a match made in heaven. These ceremonies put their own twist in the traditional Muslim wedding rituals and turn it into a several days long event. From the moment that the young boy and girl choose each other as life partners, till the moment that they become man and wife, a Kashmiri wedding is full of unique, quirky and sometimes hilarious ceremonies that bring the two families together and forever unite them. These traditions are aimed at making the two families feel comfortable with ech other and develop good relations. These rituals can be broadly divided into three separate categories.
