Wow!!! Another shocker since I've been away from PT!

Congratulations, Pops! I'm so excited for you!

Thanks for explaining how all the details. I was wondering how it all worked with Muslims since I had heard that most Muslim marriages are "arranged" and a lot of times the husband and wife don't even know each other before they meet during the ceremony. However, those are probably starting to be dated customs (meaning they're not followed much anymore) so it was interesting to read how things work now with the legal ceremony and then the actual wedding where you start your life together. Learning about others' customs is always interesting to me.

And he's a cat lover to boot! Way to go Pops! Can't wait to hear more details about the wedding, and of course pictures would be way too awesome, but I won't hold my breath....
