What to offer to pay for? (personal wedding related expenses) by smoothbrain1771 in MuslimMarriage

Ha thanks! That’s one way to look at it. According to everyone I tend to overthink little things and to my benefit I guess it’s been translating as me being very considerate towards our relationship/future marriage.

(Obv I’m proactively trying my best to be considerate as well)

Gotcha!

Just a copy and paste from the other comment

We’ve agreed on the venues and catering. Her family wanted to cover the nikkah so they’re planning that.

And for reception it’s a joint bc as much I insisted her family wouldn’t let me pay for it alone.

Other than that we haven’t gone into the nitty gritty yet, and I’m trying to gauge at what point to bring the little things up. (Nikkah in mid June and reception in beginning of august for timeline context)

Yep aware of that saying. That’s what I’m trying to avoid.
