Mystical Moments- Ayesha & Nizar’s Wedding in Bangkok

Jun 13, 2012 Wedding People & Planners, Wedding Photographers

Nizar Wattad and Ayesha Hashmi’s wedding festivities in Bangkok were a 3 day fun-filled affair. Nizar is a well-known Palestinian rapper, hip hop producer and screenwriter based in the US. Ayesha is a Hindu-Muslim, who grew up in Bangkok and later moved to work in the US. The celebration with over 200 family members, relatives and friends was held at a tranquil haven in the vivacious city- Plaza Athenee in Bangkok.

Ayesha and Nizar are very charming and have loads of charisma. So naturally, the sangeet ceremony of the uber creative couple was a special affair. The talented groom added his personal touch to the sangeet celebrations, with fusion-rap performances- he and his friends renowned rappers Yassin Alsalman (popularly known as the The Narcicyst) and Omar Offendum performed three rap songs, to receive a thunderous applause from all the guests.

The wedding was planned to perfection by Viji and Khalid Hashim (Ayesha’s parents) and managed by Bangkok-based Keeran Baweja who runs ‘Weddings by Keeran’. The celebrations included a Welcome Dinner on a River Cruise, and a Grand Reception with performances by Bangkok’s must-see attractions like the Puppet Show and Thousand Hands.
