The bride and groom had none other than Maulana Tariq Jameel to conduct their Nikah ceremony. And other famous personalities like Special Assistant to Chief Minister Punjab on Information, Dr. Firdous Aashiq Awan, was also present at the events.

Unzila Mehmood’s baraat was held at Rosa Blanca Club in Lahore and the decor was arranged by KS Concepts.
