"The marriage began with a civil ceremony followed by the Hindu custom of Kanyadan (the bride’s parents giving away their daughter to the groom). This essential ceremony became even more holy when the chanting of the mantras divinely amalgamated with the sound of the Azaan from the mosque. 'Love conquers all' only read and heard but looking at you guys it made us believe as well! Wishing you both a very happy and blissful life together. May God protect both of you from all the Buri Nazar!"
