WAEL AND LAURA, OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, USA:

We're pleased to be able to share a little of our special day with you. We got married in the backyard of our house to save money. We had about twenty five guests, only our closest friends. Wael's friend Ardeshir recited from the Qur'an, and then Amir Abdul Malik Ali from Masjid al-Islam gave a wonderful talk about the meaning of marriage in Islam. Then the contract was signed, everyone ate dinner, and that was it! It was a wonderful day and we wouldn't change a thing about it. Why do people think they have to spend a small fortune to get married, even when they can't afford it?
