    hi guys, i'm a modern muslim and having my ketb kitab in cairo. i'm stuck now as have this beautiful lace dress, but have fallen in love with a princess style gown. since i'm havin gthe religious ceremony at home, i thought i might just wear the lace gown, then the princess at the wedding reception. can you tell me what you think of this lace dress? is it too revealing? i was going to wear a shawl with it. my mom is being a bitch (sorry i said it) and said everyone will laugh at me and the sheikh wont marry us... but i really dont think its that bad... its not like i'm dressed like a prostitute!!! (sorry am just getting upset at how much your parents make you feel bad about something that is supposed to be a happy day). 

     

    anyway what do you think? would help if you've been to nikkah's at arab weddings too.

    I'm not Muslim, just browsing and found this. I personally do not think the dress is revealing at all, I'm not sure how it would be percieved at a Muslim wedding though. Honestly, the dress is gorgeous, very flattering on you!

    From what I've seen your supposed to be descent for your ketab kitab at a mosque. At home? Hmm I dont know. In the presence of a sheikh I would cover my hair

    im muslim , and i live in an arabic/muslim/conservative country! i had a tiny katb ktab ceremony at home, and i wore tadadadada

     A 1 SHOULDER GREEK STYLE DRESS! so noooo, u dont have to wear sth very conservative, if u r not going w a traditional dress, just wear ur beautiful lace 1 :)

    and just get a bigger shawl, so tht u cover part of ur hair and ur chest and thts it!

    btw, ur gonna be with the sheikh for a very short time, so who cares! and guess what i didnt have to c the sheikh at all, which i was thrilled about!

    congratulations on ur wedding, and enjoy it, and dont worry about being too revealing or out of line or whatever, ppl r more open minded than u wud think :)

    Really? Thats one of the things I'm most excited about lol. Maybe because youre used to all that its different, but here its such a beautiful God connecting thing.

     arousa1979nyc: Good luck! I havent even thought about what I'm wearing to my ketab ketab. I'll probably wear a simple dress and when the sheikh comes in wear a abayee and hijab and when he leaves take it off. Ketab kitabs arent a huge party for us..the wedding is the big deal!

    Oh and are you having your kateb ketab the same day of your wedding?

    I'm not Muslim but I have been to many Nikkah ceremonies and your dress look sfine. Just make sure your shawl covers your aerms and chest properly.

    hi guys thanks! no the ketb ketab is a different day, that's if of course my mother and i dont kill each other before! yeah i got my dream dress for the reception so will wear this one for the ketb ketab... great thing about this one is that i can always change the color of the underslip and wear it again!

    I agree, I would definitely have a shawl to cover your head and chest for the ceremony, then you can take it off when done. Personally im not thrilled about covering my head, but understand its necessary for prayer etc esp for a Nikah. :) Your dress looks beautiful by the way, enjoy your wedding day!

    Me too. I never actually saw the sheik or whomever does the ketb kitab. Just have something maybe wrapped loosely for respect (for your mom) in front of the sheikh if you do see him. At least your mother will feel a little better. I have the same issue with my mom in everything I wear, so you are not the only one. Beautiful dress!

    i also think you should put a shawl around you to show respect for the sheikh and the religious procedure itself (im not sure if that makes any sense, but i think you get what i mean :))
