A Big Fat Lebanese Wedding

Last night, my Uncle Nabil, Aunts Naada, Lelia and Baha went to a wedding of a neighbors daughter. It was a beautiful wedding and had a lot of tradition (Lebanese) wedding ceremonies, it was so very intriguing and splendid. 


Side note: The one thing I realized is nothing is too much in a Lebanese wedding. Meaning, I was going to wear some more jewelry but thought it would be a little too much.. yeah I was wrong, some women looked as if they were wearing every single piece of jewelry they own. So next time, I am gonna be blinged out. It's all about understanding the cultures. 


getting ready..
