It is from the Sunnah to announce the marriage and to beat the drums. There is no harm in men dancing, provided certain conditions are met, and in giving gifts to the bride and groom. It is also from the Sunnah to hold a wedding feast, even if it is with only one sheep. One must avoid flutes, musical instruments, unlawful mixing between sexes, immodest display, and indecent speech.
