In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. Your zeal and enthusiasm to follow the sunnah is a sign of your love for deen and Rasulullah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam). In Islam the overall sunnah of nikah is to be simple and free from extravagance. In choosing simplicity, Allah Ta’ala will bring barakah and blessings in one’s marriage.
