Nikah celebrations in Malawi has been hijacked by a number of undesirables. How should an Islamic wedding celebration be conducted?

Question

Islamic wedding should be conducted in a manner the Shariah permit and keep away from the things which are forbidden such as: Mixing of men with women, dancing as evidenced in our recent times, the bridegroom going to where women are in order to take his bride. Women wearing revealing, tight or short clothes. We should avoid spending extravagantly, the husband and wife exchanging rings and thus imitating the non-Muslims, who believe that this increase the husband’s love for his wife and vice versa. Finally, both partners (The husband and the wife) should know that the more the Shariah is followed, the more blessed their marriage will be Insha-Allah.
