A Pakistani wedding consists of a series of very bright events that continue for several days depending upon the social and economic position of the bride and groom. However a typical Pakistani wedding consists of four ceremonies on four different days. Today we will discuss the first event/day of a Pakistani wedding called Mayoon.

Mayoon is the first event of the wedding and from this day on bride and groom are not allowed to see each other until the day of marriage regardless of marriage type e.g. love or arranged.  Yellow colour symbolizes this day and family and invited friends wear yellow garments. This day starts with the recitation of Quran and after religious formalities family and friends bring the bride/groom for ceremony.
