Afghan weddings blend tradition with modern celebrations, featuring pre-wedding Henna parties for women, the formal religious Nikah ceremony (often green-themed), and large festive receptions with music, dancing (Atan), feasts (Pulao), and symbolic rituals like the bride and groom seeing each other for the first time in a mirror under a shawl (Ayna Musaaf). While traditionally arranged and gender-segregated, recent trends include mass weddings for cost-saving, though restrictions under the Taliban have limited musical entertainment, focusing more on poetry and speeches.
Pre-Wedding Traditions


Henna Night (Henna-e-Khori): A joyous celebration for the bride and her female relatives, where henna is applied to her hands, often with singing and music.
Groom's Procession: The groom's family brings the henna, sometimes with singing, to the bride's home.


Wedding Day Rituals

Nikah: A religious contract signing, often during the day, with close family and a Mullah, where the bride typically wears green.


Ayna Musaaf (Mirror & Quran): The couple, covered by a shawl, sees each other for the first time as married individuals in a mirror, with the Quran often held above them.
