women pray at St Mary's Catholic Church in Sri Lanka

BATTICALOA, SRI LANKA - JANUARY 9: Sri Lankans pray during Sunday mass at St. Mary's catholic church January 9, 2004 in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka.

I am in Sri Lanka and would like you to answer my question as soon as possible.

I am a Malay Muslim man in love with a Catholic woman, and planning to marry her.

I have suggested her and her family to have a nikah ceremony and thereafter have a reception. Her parents have agreed for this, but they want to have the engagement in the church where there won't be any signing, and only have a half mass. They want to show their relations.

Is there any problem in having the engagement in the church?

My question is about the wedding celebration. I would like to know if mixed wedding celebration meaning men and women in the same room is forbidden in Islam and the bride and groom are dancing.

Another question is about slow dancing between the husband and wife in front of people during their wedding celebration, is it haram?

I am planning to get married in November. My partner's two brothers got married last week and we have been told by one of his relatives that you cannot have three weddings, in one family in an Islamic year.

Just wanted to know if this is true?

Slightly concerned as this is the first I have heard of it. If so, what are the reasons why?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards
