Are we faulting by keeping the Nikaah simple i.e. a week night with only the relevant parties present, and then feeding a small circle of friends and family perhaps 2 to 3 days later ?

The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

Answer
The Nikah should be simple. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'The most blessed Nikah is that in which least expenses are incurred.' (Mishkaat vol.2)
If the feeding referred to is the Walimah, there is no need to delay the Walimah by 2 or 3 days. It is Sunnah to have the Walimah the next day after the union between the husband and wife.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
