Following the wedding celebrations, Yasir took to Instagram to advise his followers to keep their weddings simple and easy.
“Ladies and Gentlemen,” wrote Yasir, “Marriage isn’t as hard as we’ve made it out to be.”
Sharing his own experience, Yasir elaborated, “I had originally planned to have my wedding at home but due to lack of space, I had to shift the venue. The two of us did not give each others families any unnecessary gifts. There was no dowry or bari (gift from the groom’s side to bride). We did not waste money on extra jewellery. The nikkah khwan (wedding officiant) was paid Rs 8000 while the food was according to the number of guests.”
“This is all that a wedding is – take it easy on your family and make weddings simple,” he asserted.
Yasir also expressed his joy on his marriage saying, ” I never knew that one signature would make my life so beautiful.”
Meanwhile, following the nikkah, Iqra took Yasir’s last name, changing her name from Iqra Aziz to Iqra Aziz Hussain.
The couple will be hosting their valima today (Monday).
