Arabic weddings (Arabic: زفاف, فرح, or عرس) are ceremonies of matrimony that contain Arab influences or Arabic culture.

Traditional Arabic weddings are intended to be very similar to modern-day Bedouin and rural weddings. What is sometimes called a "Bedouin" wedding is a traditional Arab Islamic wedding without any foreign influence. Ceremonies may, in some cases, be unique from one region to another, even within the same country.

The marriage process usually starts with meetings between the couple's families and ends with the consummation of the betrothed (ليلات آل-دخل leilat al-dokhla).

For a wedding to be considered Islamic, the bride and groom must both consent, and the groom must be welcomed into the bride's house, although only in the presence of her parents, to maintain propriety on both sides.

The most common events of a Muslim marriage are variations of the following: marriage proposal, engagement, henna, nikah, registration, reception, walima, and honeymoon.

The only Islamic requirement is to hold the nikah and walima. Other events are cultural additions. Civil registration is usually a legal requirement.^[1]
