In the Quaran, members of Islam read about a prophet who served goat and bread at a marriage ceremony, so the traditional food might include the meat of a sheep or goat, although fish and chicken are more common in modern times. Other items on the menu might include eggs (symbolizing fertility), dates, yogurt, and sweets. Caterers can create a menu with all of the traditional favorites. The extent of the celebration will depend on the couple, as some are simple and last only a few hours, while others last for days and include multiple meals and dancing.
