2 weeks passed by and within no time My big day was already here. Ammi Jaan woke me up from my sleep and told me to read Fajr. I quickly got up, washed my face, made wudu(Ablution) and offered Fajr salah. 
The Nikkah was to be held at the Masjid around Maghrib time.
 After reading namaz, I went to take a shower, wore my best-fit clothes, and covered my hair with the Hijab, and prayed all the salah’s at its designated times. Then, after a moment or so… My best friend Mariam came to do my makeup just to get me ready for my Nikkah ceremony. As, I was just about to get “Nikkahfied”.  Mariam then told me, “Inayah, I will make you look absolutely gorgeous for the biggest day of your life iA”. 
I then told her,”okay, Jaani”. As soon as the makeup was complete, 
I looked in the mirror and was satisfied by the way my bestie made me look. At that very moment, I told Mariam “Shukran Jazak’Allah Bikhair for making me look like a queen”. My Jaani then told me,
“ Wa- Iyyakum babe”.
After a while, I wore my sandals, held on to the flowers in my hand, and walked down the stairs with Ammi Jaan and Abba Jaan. Then within a minute, we headed towards the limo that was decorated very beautifully mA. Thereupon, once we reached the Masjid. Ammi Jaan, Abba Jaan, Azhar Bhai, and Bhabi walked me down the aisle to get me to the stage and sat right next to me. Within a minute or so, the Moulana came up to the stage by me and Imran and began the Nikkah ceremony. 

Afterwards, the moulana asked Imran
3 times…
“Do you accept Inayah Fatima as your wife”?  Imran smiled and  said,
“Ji haan, Qubool hai”. 

And then, Imran signed the Nikkah contract. Then, not too long ago
The moulana came by me and asked the same question 3 times. I smiled with excitement in my eyes and said as well, 
“Qubool hai”. From then and onwards, The moulana announced on the microphone and told everyone who was present, “Ma sha Allah, Inayah and Imran's nikkah is Qubool".
Then, within a minute the wedding song “Mubarak ho tumko” came and so many of our relatives came to congratulate us both. At first, It felt like an impossible task as it just felt like the entire town came rushing down the aisles to say “Congratulations”.

The weight of this moment has not hit me yet but it kept making me happy from Inside as everything around me felt like I was walking in a bubble filled with happiness with no nerves whatsoever.
At the  time of leaving the hall
My parents, brother, sister-in-law, and cousins started crying since they knew I will not be able to see them until some time. 
I then looked directly into my parents eyes and started to shed tears as well. Ammi Jaan, Abba Jaan, and Azhar Bhai told me and Imran a dua that stated, “May Allah S.W.T. bless you both with everlasting love, happiness, success, and the best of this life and the hereafter and may Allah S.W.T. make your love for eachother continue for a lifetime in Jannah. Ameen!!!

Moments later, me and Imran finally held hands and managed to make our way into the limousine. After 5 minutes, Imran looked at me blushingly as we reached the corner of my new home. Then, as we approached the house, I recited Durood-E-Shareef and blowed it on myself and my hubby tubby. At that time, I was about to have my very 1st conversation with the love of my life. Imran’s mom then ushered me from the conversation I was having with Immu and told me to head upstairs to the room on the right hand corner. 

I then took a deep breath and walked up the stairs to my room. 
After a minute, I heard a knock on the door thinking that it was Imran’s mom. I told to “come in, the door is open”. I had no idea that It was Imran.
