Weddingbee boards

An Islamic ceremony requires the bride the groom and two witnesses. Depending on the situation some also prefer the bride to have a (wali) which is basically a male representative. This is not an abosolute.  This ceremony is often called the "kttab" or "nikah" but there may also be a turkish name for it. Traditions vary on how/where/when it's done.  Its usually a very small and simple affair followed by a larger celebration at a different location and/or venue. It can be held anywhere from your private home to the local mosque.
