This is how Somali tie their marriage. The sheikh reads verses  of the holly Quran before he starts the agreement ( AQDI) Then  the sheikh and groom sit together, while all others watching for witness. The sheikh and groom shake hands. The sheikh says, "Do you accept to marry ..Name  the bride, and her bride price is 20,000 $. Do you accept ?" The groom says, " I do accept that ...Name to me my wife" Then the men say together Allah u Akbar three times loudly. And women trill/ ululate. Then the groom starts to shake hands to every man in the ceremony. Then they start eating and hugging one an other.
