- The best nikah is a simple nikah (miskaat shareef.) The best Nikah is the one that is coupled with the least amount of extravagance, wastage and resemblance to non-Islamic practices
- The best place to have your nikah is the musjid
- The best time would be after Asr on Friday
- Having people does not mean that they all have to be fed a special meal. Those that are poor should not be embarrassed, nor is it the duty of the less fortunate to take out loans to fulfill this sunnah
- The meal can be simple. There is no Islamic requirement of specified dishes coupled with specific requirements of matching curtains and table clothes and flowers to that of a given persons attire, etc.
- That which is built on sunnah can only get stronger. Sunnah has in it the appeal of simplicity as well as quality
The Islamic greeting is as follows:

This dua is mentioned at the time of greeting the groom or bride (after greeting one with the islamic salutation of Asalamualikum). (Variations of the above dua does exist.)
Allah Certainly Knows Best.
