Whoever desires to obey Allah Almighty in His commands and prohibitions, Allah will assist him and make it easy for him. In order to convince your family to have a wedding ceremony that is شرعي (Islamically permissible), you should:
1. Perform Salatul (Prayer of Need) and supplicate that Allah expands the hearts of your family to accept the truth.
2. Explain that Islam encourages joy and happiness in marriage, provided that it remains within the bounds of the , by avoiding mixing of genders (اختلاط), immodest display (تبرج), music, dancing, lewd singing, or any other forbidden act (منكر).
