What No One Tells YWhat No One Tells You About (Muslim) Marriage Eventsou About (Muslim) Marriage Ev

However, there doesn't seem to be one singleton sparking enough interest to say 'let's take this further and go for a coffee?' So what is going incorrect at these marriage events? How do single Muslims get married these days?

The hush voices and the deafening awkwardness is unavoidable as the singles wait around for the event to begin.

I watch them tiresomely introduce themselves more than and over again. I see some singles losing interest, playing on their phone or jumping onto their social media lives. I even witness numerous bromances and womances blossoming right prior to my eyes... huh?

Ultimately when the intros are more than, relief... Phew! Then the disappointment hits. Why? Because there is no one you want to speak to! You scroll down the list of names and still no 1 interests you or is remotely like the person you want to marry! You get to the end of the list and start again hoping you overlooked somebody, you realise you have not and the stifled despair is clear to see... argh!

Half the people you have met you do not even remember, some individuals turned up late and missed the intros altogether! Clearly creating a great first impression isn't important when you're attempting to meet your soul mate!

After much consideration and deliberation the singles send some requests or accept 'requests to meet' for a 1-to-one conversation.

These 1-to-1 conversations can leave you speechless at the lack of 'conversation'! At the other finish of the spectrum, astonishingly some singles are prepared to drop their lives, marry and move in with you tomorrow! It makes you wonder, what on earth just happened?!

Singles stroll away from these 1-to-ones feeling totally underwhelmed. The brothers talk at the sisters, hoping some thing they said would connect with them. Whilst the sisters' preferred approach is a hostile and uncensored interrogation of the brothers' previous relationships and haraam (prohibited) activities... Awkward a lot!

Despite placing yourself through all of that and with little luck in meeting someone suitable, how do singles get married these days... or is it that they just don't?!

Some have been trying to get married for years. They attend marriage events and use online marriage web sites yet they are still struggling to find 'the one'. They say they're okay with it but their feeling of defeat is palpable.

The brothers either don't know what they want or they believe the sisters are too picky. Whereas the sisters believe the brothers are immature, untrustworthy and irresponsible... ouch!

Singles with no 'requests to meet' make a fast exit hoping no one notices. While other people cling on to hope that someone will speak to them at some point.

I watch the event organisers eager to see the singles discover marriage, seek out singles and personally set up a 'request to meet' with other singles. Nevertheless it takes some coaxing, cajoling and a huge dollop of luck to make this happen.

Sadly sometimes there are also following-effects of these events... There are some brothers who can't take no for an answer and think following a single Muslimah (Muslim woman) to the bus stop or tracking her down on social media is a good move... Stalker much!!
