Just got married!!

Jackilyn

Alhamdullillah I was married on the 10th!! It was a traditional Muslim arranged marriage and I loved every bit of it, the whole process was even more than I could have imagined.

My wali (like the guardian for the woman in the marriage, the one who picks out likely matches for her or helps her come into contact with suitors) introduced me to my husband on the 9th and we both knew that we wanted to spend our lives together.

I know it sounds crazy, but it works like that in Islam. Not everyone get married the day after meeting though 😂😂.

The funny thing is I told him I would have done it that night but I was too tired to move haha. I ended up not sleeping until 3:30 am and even then I couldn’t sleep well!!

My wedding was held in my walis basement with a couple witnesses and his wife who I’m close with. Their son was so cute, I told him, “ sorry, now you can’t marry me!” And he goes “Awe man!!” He’s 5 btw the cutest thing ever besides my own child, and he kept wanting to sit in between me and my husband during the ceremony.

I’m so happy with my husband and I’m so glad I waited until marriage to be with a guy (if yah know what I mean 😉) it’s so worth it.

We’re gonna start our family soon in Shaa Allah, might have accidentally started it already. I went to my app to log us gettin busy and I found out I matched our wedding day to one of my most fertile days of the month.

I have faith whatever happens is for the best and I am excited for my new life with my wonderful husband.
