If I didn’t mention anything about the ceremony site last night, I’m sure they wouldn’t tell me their ’secret plan’ in person in the first place. I believe it’d be a gorgeous memory to be married in a holy place like a mosque, yet my parents argued that it would be a bothersome to walk to and from the mosque and our house. This mosque I’m talking about is only about two meters across the window of my bedroom and they...
