I speak from the Traditional knowledge in Islam.
God once mentioned to Jesus the fact that he did not marry, telling him that on the Day on the Judgment, He will marry him to 100 Hurs (heavenly companions, created out of light). His marriage ceremony will last 4000 years.
4000 years? in all the weddings I have attended -----the poor grooms were kinda------a bit------uncomfortable. The brides were happy------the mothers were happy------I was happy---but the poor grooms looked like the odd man out.
Poor Jesus--------4000 YEARS??????. I have never been to a muslim wedding-----but I have been to catholic, protestant and jewish weddings I have asked people about
muslim weddings------like----"what goes on"-----mostly
they ate supper and the women huddle around the bride and
tell her she looks beautiful and admire her clothing-----the men do something in another room--------no dancing or drinking or jokes or laughter. ---seems to me----really worse
for the groom than the Christian and Jewish weddings
My wedding wasn't a "Muslim wedding" per se...but everyone on my wife's side were Muslims, and we had it in Istanbul following many traditions.
As far as dancing, jokes, and laughter, there was plenty of that on the last of 3 days. The ceremony itself was in the afternoon on the first day, a little out of order but that's the only day the justice of the peace could come to the house.
The first day was the family getting together, drinking quite a bit, and the second day was me an the boys, getting a haircut and playing cards, while my wife and her friends all gabbed and did this thing with Henna. The third day was where the whole neighborhood showed up, and we sat in this public meeting hall while everyone came by and took pictures and visited with us. Liquor isn't illegal in Instanbul, where 95% of the people are Sunni Muslim.
Honestly...you should get to know a Muslim, and try to get some first hand experience with them.
You'd be as surprised as I was about how similar they are to us in spite of how righty media portrays them.
