KOKO Weddings: 5 Things To Do To Have A Perfect Ramadan Wedding

Our feature today is dedicated to all our muslim brides-to-be and since its the month of Ramadan, lets start with a Ramadan Mubarak! Today our topic of discussion is quite unconventional as many don’t even consider it a possibility and its none other than a Ramadan Wedding. Although weddings in Ramadan are not common there is nothing in Islam that forbids getting married during this time.
In fact, you can pretty much get married on any day of the year unless it is forbidden in the mazhab (school) that one follows. Although the issues are more cultural, the most obvious issue is the fact that one cannot eat or drink from dawn to dusk. Along with that, married couples have to refrain from consummating their union during the same hours. Asides the fact that your ceremony will have to be done in the evening, there is nothing wrong with getting married in Ramadan.

In case you could not squeeze in a pre-Ramadan wedding and don’t want to wait for a post-Ramadan wedding, here are 5 tips to plan your Ramadan wedding.
Have The Nikah Just Before Iftar: Like we said earlier, serving your guests meals is one of the major things to consider if you are planning a Ramadan wedding. Having your Nikah just before Iftar will ensure that the ceremony moves along smoothly and Iftar isn’t disrupted as well.
