In 1586, Murad arranged the marriage of Ayşe Sultan to Ibrahim Pasha, Beylerbey (governor-general) of Egypt, who would serve three times as Grand Vizier to Ayşe’s brother Mehmed III.[3][2] Her wedding took place at the Old Palace, and was celebrated in a seven-day ceremony.[4] Historian Mustafa Selaniki mentions the preparations, the presents which were given by both parties, the feasts, prepared for the Nakibü'l-esraf and the sadat, for the Şeyhülislam (supreme religious leader), the ulema and for the high-ranking officials.[5] A year into the marriage, Murad dismissed Ibrahim Pasha from his post, because according to the chronicle of Hasan Beyzade, his damat, or bridegroom, status was an obstacle to sailing.[6]
