The celebrations will begin on December 24 and will include several events such as a qawwali night and a traditional gathering. Zayd Hussain Nawaz’s nikah and mehndi ceremony is scheduled for December 25 at the Sharif family residence in Jati Umra, Lahore, and around 500 guests are expected to attend.
The wedding ceremony will take place on December 27, followed by a grand walima reception on December 29, with 700 guests.
International guests and arrangements
Dignitaries from the United States, United Kingdom, European countries, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, India and other neighboring countries are expected to attend. Special arrangements were made for the accommodation of foreign guests, 25 to 30 rooms booked at Falettis Hotel, Lahore and State Guesthouse where the administration was officially informed.
The entire Sharif family living abroad returned to Pakistan on the occasion. Nawaz Sharif’s younger daughter, Asma Nawaz, arrived from Dubai, while Hassan Nawaz, another of Nawaz Sharif’s sons, joined the family in Lahore.
Safety measures
Due to the scale and profile of the wedding, strict security measures were taken. The Punjab Police is tasked with ensuring the safety of both domestic and international participants.
Zayd Hussain Nawaz’s wedding marks a major family event for the Sharifs, following the high-profile wedding of Nawaz Sharif’s grandson Junaid Safdar in 2021.
