WARDA & SALMAAN
The marriage between +Salmaan and +Warda took place on Sunday past. The Wedding proceedings started out with a one hour Dhikr by the Naqshbandi order headed up by +Dr Yusuf Da Costa, the Southern Africa Khalifah of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Haqqani of Cyprus - the head of the worldwide Naqshbandi Order. Salaam the groom is his grandson, the son of his daughter +Latifa, a prominent practicing dentist. I am a Wedding Photographer As can be seen by the photographs below, Dr Yusuf Da Costa is presiding over the Nikah which took place at Taronga Road Masjied. The mosque was very well attended and the traditional breakfast for men after the Nikah in the adjoining hall was however attended by both men and women as can also be seen on the photographs below. There was lots to eat and drink from traditional koeksisters to samosas, to pies, to cocktail pizzas, to spiced beef rolls and sausage rolls.The female guests also witnessed the Nikah from the back of the mosque sitting alongside +Warda the bride of +Salmaan. She was really beautifully dressed and in my opinion, her morning Wedding dress was far more dashing than her afternoon Wedding Gown. Warda looked like the picture-book version of +Cinderella after the glass slipper fitted her foot qualifying her to marry her prince charming. Her bridesmaids look really beautiful, each had a white umbrella which was really apt considering the sun was so intense on her Wedding Day.
