My mum is saying that the nikah should be done at home as it saves her from going out and saves the hassle. I will also be all dressed up and the nikah isn't going to take long. I do not want it to be done at home because it will be a struggle for my mum to move everything. Our house Is stuffy already and not so spacious.
I feel bad because I said no and that it should be done at the mosque. It's also too much to tidy away at home.
The women will be eating at my house and the men will go to the restaurant to eat. I feel bad for saying no to my mum though, I just don't want her to work too hard but she said going out is a struggle, I told her we could take the cab. She's also not a fan of spending money so I just lied and told her that my partner whom I'm going to get married to will pay for the cab.
I'm feeling stressed out because I kind of wish I can just decide and I know it should really be between me and my partner. Suppose our parents just only care about us and only want what's best for us, it just stresses me out though to be honest.

Sis, don't stress yourself so much over this. At the end of the day, your nikah is about you and your partner joining together, not causing problems for anyone else.
I know Mum means well, but the home isn't practical for guests. And you don't want those memories associated with struggles and stress, ya feel me? The masjid is perfect - clean space, right energy.
Why not have a heart to heart with Mum? Explain your concerns gently but firmly. Offer some compromise - let her help with food or henna to feel involved. Once she sees you've thought it through properly, inshallah she'll understand.
At the end of the day do what sits right with you and your partner. Don't let no one's opinions cause doubts in your big day, yeah? It'll all work out - just communicate your heart with care and honesty. This is your time to shine sis, don't dim it for anyone else's say-so! You've got this.
Thank you for the advice brother, this was helpful
You’re very welcome boo, anytime. ❤️❤️😊
It's natural to be stressed before events like these. Parents want the best for us even if they have to go out of their way to do it. So if you're sure your decisions are going to make it easy for her, stick to them. It'll all be good.
