Rashed Chowdhury's Photo Albums: Our Wedding



IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE MOST MERCIFUL


PERRYSBURG, Ohio

Islamic Center of Greater Toledo


Katie and I at the mosque


Katie and I got married on 25 June 2005 at the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo, a beautiful mosque located in Perrysburg, Ohio, in the US. About 90 people attended, some travelling from as far afield as Singapore and South Korea.  

The wedding festivities were spread over three days. In the afternoon of 24 June, Katie and I had a civil marriage ceremony at the Perrysburg Municipal Court. That same evening, Katie's parents hosted a henna party for Katie at their house, and most of the wedding guests had a chance to meet each other there.

On 25 June, in the afternoon, Katie and I got married in an Islamic wedding at the mosque. One of my best friends, Asif Imran, who lives with his wife Courtney in Ames, Iowa, conducted the ceremony and delivered a sermon. Once the wedding was done and lots of pictures were taken, we all proceeded to the Oak Openings Preserve Lodge in Swanton, Ohio for the reception.

The following morning, on 26 June, there was a relaxing brunch at Katie's parents' house, where the guests got to say goodbye to each other and us. The guests who didn't have flights to catch soon after the brunch stayed behind to watch me and Katie open lots of wedding presents.

On 27 June, Katie and I took off for our honeymoon, which we spent at the Victoria Inn in the lakeshore village of Gore's Landing, Ontario, Canada.

The picture above was taken at the mosque, just after Katie and I got married.
