Rukhsati is planned for next summer.
Can someone please tell me how to answer question 15 and 18 ?
Thanks !
Answer 15: Yes. Ceremony was held at <place> on <date>. Approximately 60 people attended the ceremony including my sponsor <your name>, his family members person1 (father), person2 (mother), (name some more closed ones), other relatives, family friends and friends. My parents, siblings, relatives, friends and family friends also attended the wedding ceremony.
The marriage ceremony was performed in Islamic way.
I myself and my sponsor (<your name>) are muslims.
Answer 18: No. Reception will be held later next summer (if you know the date).
