Interracial Weddings

African-American Christian Bride, Pakistani-Indian Muslim Groom

Hello! I'm planning my wedding and I wanted to know if anyone has some fun and creative Walima ideas. Typically, I'm used to wedding receptions with lots of music and dancing which is typical in the African American tradition. Since we may not have much dancing (if any), does anyone have entertaining ideas for their Walima that does not involve dancing? My relatives are very unfamiliar with Muslim weddings as well as South Asian culture(I have quite a bit to explain), so I'm hoping for it to be a creative and engaging experience for both cultures:)

  • Hello!   Congrats on your engagment:)

    Pakistani weddings typically have four days and the Walima is the last day.  It is the final celebration the day after the marriage. My fiance is a first generation American but his parents are from India and Pakistan.

    I have visited the South Asian board, maybe I'll repost this there as well:)
