Sajid and his connections taking a few pictures before the nikah - we had to stop them so we could get on with the procedure

after that it was off to the hall with me, to welcome guests and check out the preparation that the caterer, Manjra, was up to

one of the tables, with the sook-mook on each plate (this is before they put easter eggs on the plates)
and the couple eventually arrive at the hall in someone's fancy car

giving me the "stop taking pictures of us" look
walking out from the car - now hand-in-hand and legit!

aaaaaaww ... Sajid pulling out the chair ... hopefully not the last time
Bilal singing the mubarak-badi ... some kind of good wishes song
the hall full of people waiting patiently for the foody to be served

main table, with the newly weds and their parents
i managed to convince Sajid to feed Zaki, but no luck the other way around
before the show is over, some of the guests start to make their way to congratulate the couple
Zaki doing the ring thing
parents and couple - one of many many posed pictures that afternoon
and without the hat - boy it must have gotten hot under that thing
the Suleman family, with latest addition
the Suleman siblings ... for old times sake ... aaaawww again
Zaki and Sajid hold the coconut thing that got left behind the previous night ... wonder what they did with it eventually
before leaving my parents' house, Zaki feigns tears
at the threshold, my dad gives her some final words of advice
and he gives Sajid the riot act in the same breath :)
