The Wedding: Sr. Win & Br. Ryan Welton

First wedding ceremony.... beautiful... khidmat, and well organized.
Date: December 1st, 2007
Venue: Masjid Ar-Rahmah, Redmond, WA

Salah satu anggota Masjid Ar-Rahmah menyatakan ingin mengawinkan putrinya di masjid Ar-Rahmah. Alhamdulillah usulan ini disambut dengan positif dan entusias oleh Ustad Joban. Beliau pun dengan semangat membentuk panitia pernikahan aka the wedding commitee. Kepanitiaan di bentuk 2 bulan sebelum D-Day terdiri dari panitia dekorasi, makanan, bride-groom, dokumentasi sampai urusan detailnya. Rapat biasanya diadakan hari Minggu setelah sunday halaqah yang dimonitor langsung oleh Ustad Joban.



Semalam sebelum D-Day, calon pengantin putri mengadakan tradisi henna sambil mengundang kerabat dekat dan kawan-kawan. Setelah acara Henna, panitia dekorasi yang dipimpin Sr. Faridah mulai membereskan ruangan masjid yang akan disulap menjadi tempat akad sekaligus resepsi pernikahannya. Pengaturan dekorasi berlangsung hingga pukul 1.00am ...... thanks to dedicated yet committed volunteers.
