Balla told me that we could have two ceremonies if it made me happy. The Muslim wedding was very simple it but unique. The ceremony included my husband and I, two witnesses and the Imam. One of the witnesses told Balla that he had to give me a dohry to make our union one. A dohry is a sacred gift that a man gives his wife and she have to accept it. During the ceremony I was behind a large green curtain, while my husband, the witnesses, and the Imam read scripts from the The Holy Qur’an.
was not interested in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. I was very surprised by his question, but I did not want to laugh at him. I basically I told him no. I was not even thinking of him as a marriage candidate because he was a Muslim, but I was definitely impressed by his s
