Hello! Here is an age old question of what to gift for a wedding from a non muslim (25F) having been invited to attend my very close friend (also 25F)’s wedding.

This is not her Nikaah as Ive already missed that due to work commitments! They have already said no bulky gifts. I’m open to suggestions of various budgets as we have been very close.

Thanks in advance!

Salaam everyone. Hope you are well.

I never once thought I’d struggle to get married- I’m a bubbly, kind and caring girl, on her deen and from a very lovely family. My parents are between 47-51 and I’m 28, almost 29. They’ve had their own businesses and done really well (ٱلْحَمْدُلِلَّٰهِ) and would love me and the siblings to find people at a similar level to us/ our family.

Using the apps but people on apps don’t want to meet. It’s like they enjoy the idea of settling down but don’t actually want to make the effort to move towards it. They’re also not ambitious and the small few that are don’t want to get parents involved until 6 months down the line and im not wasting my time with that stupidness.

I work in the creative field and in a small town up north, there is not one muslim guy where I work or tend to be in the companies I work in. Much rather find someone in person but I don’t understand where I can.

People around me are getting married but it just feels so hard to find a guy from a family like mine, slightly modern, really supportive and a great laugh.

So lost. Any advice?

I am going to one on 16th/17th, to Westfield, white city and wanted to ask has anyone gone to this one before? If so, how is it?

Have you ever gotten a job from going there?

Also, is anyone else going to this same one on 16th/17th?
