Sheniza - Hi friends,
I just have today to have a editing day. From tomorrow on the wedding season starts in Suriname. That's nice for the people who will party, but for me it's the most tiring month of the year.
This weekend I have two wedding shoots from tomorrow till sunday. I'm just thinking how i'll manage with my sleep.
Still today I found these nice pictures of Sheniza, moments before her Niqaah.
NIQAAH - The wedding of muslims is called Niqaah. The groom comes at the house of the bride with his family. He gets a warm welcome from the brides family.
After that they read out some holy texts from the Quran and he's asked if he wants to marry the girl. That is also done with the bride and she may ask the groom anything to make the wedding happen. Usually that's money, but I had some weddings where she asked for car, house and other things.
When the groom accepts this then the niqaah is done by telling each other three times if they accept each other as their husband/wife.
I hope to continue telling you more about my work as photo- and videographer. Hope you like my article.
With love,
Prasant Djewan
