Vicar Paul Travis welcomed bride Samara Iqbal and groom Hussanain Aleem Mir, who hail from north Leeds, inside Mill Hill Unitarian church at Cit
y Square on Saturday to exchange vows.
The Asian wedding guests entered the place of worship to cries of the Call to Prayer, a sound usually heard pouring from the doors of one of the city's mosques.
Samara dressed in a traditional English white dress with veil, finally stepping out of her bridal car a good 15 minutes after the scheduled 10am service.
Hussanain, who wore a white suit, waited at the altar.
The congregation listened as the Rev Travis led the traditional English service, altered only in that prayers were directed to Allah and not God.
"Smile, relax and enjoy, make this your mosque today," said the minister.
"Today is about bringing different faiths and creeds together, after all there is only one God although he might have many names."
The Rev Travis, who has been promoting inter-faith religion for 25 years, told the Yorkshire Evening Post prior to the service: "Samara and Hussanain wanted a British wedding, but they are from a very very traditional Muslim family.
"We will be having a very simple service, but you can imagine how difficult and uncomfortable this could be.
"The congregation is Muslim, there will be prayers from the Koran and we will address Allah, but this service will really help integrate the different faiths."
