Preparations are gaining momentum as the wedding dates of Junaid Safdar have officially been finalised. He is the son of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. The ceremonies are scheduled for mid-January.
Family sources confirm the celebrations will span January 16, 17, and 18. Events will take place in Lahore and Jati Umrah, the Sharif family residence. Organisers aim to keep arrangements private and well-coordinated.
Wedding Ceremonies Planned Across Two Locations
According to details, the mehndi ceremony will be held at Jati Umrah. The walima will also take place at the same venue. This decision reflects the family’s preference for intimate gatherings.
Other wedding events will be organised within Lahore. Only close relatives and trusted family members will attend. Large public receptions have deliberately been avoided.
Bride and Family Background
Junaid Safdar’s bride-to-be is Shanzay, the granddaughter of senior PML-N leader Sheikh Rohail Asghar. The families formally fixed the marriage nearly two months ago. Both sides expressed happiness over the union.
Sheikh Rohail Asghar shared that the proposal brought joy to his household. He described the development as a blessing for both families.
Nawaz Sharif Hosts Family Dinner
Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif personally invited the bride’s family for dinner. The meeting took place at his residence. Family members praised the hospitality during the visit.
Sheikh Rohail Asghar stated that Maryam Nawaz warmly welcomed the guests. He added that his wife admired the gracious environment.
Wedding Planning Led by Close Family Members
Maryam Nawaz actively participated in the wedding discussions. She sat with the bride’s mother and grandmother to plan arrangements. They reviewed details together in a cordial setting.
The planning process focused on simplicity and tradition. The families agreed on maintaining privacy throughout the events.
Longstanding Family Relationship Strengthens Match
The bond between both families existed before the engagement. Maryam Nawaz’s daughter Mahnoor and Shanzay share a close friendship. This connection further strengthened the proposal.
Maryam Nawaz also visited Sheikh Rohail Asghar with her family earlier. The visit highlighted mutual respect and longstanding ties.
Intimate Celebrations Preferred Over Grand Events
Both families chose a modest celebration style. They prioritised meaningful moments over large-scale gatherings. Only immediate relatives will attend each ceremony.
The wedding reflects shared family values and mutual trust. Final arrangements are currently underway.
