Let me make one thing clear, I do not mind ANYTHING that people do, coz it’s their business and everyone should do what makes them happy. However, I am amused at people doing things for NO REASON. And in every single wedding!!
Why do things have to be soooo complicated?
Why is it that the poor bride “has” to be ready since 9’ish only to be “wed” at 2 am?..
Why do brides put on so much make up and shimmer and body makeup and fake hair and fake lashes and fake nails, when they actually look just as good (if not better) without all this?
Why do they have a thousand million roses and flowers and plants everywhere? (all this and I’m not even allergic.. imagine if I were!)
Why do the bride and the groom stand on a balcony and wave down to the tiny people down?
Why do they throw out the flowers to those same “little” people?
Why do they give each others rings in front of everyone?
Why do they dance together on that balcony (while the little people are waiting)?
Why do they go down the stairs from the balcony soooooo slowly? (little people still waiting)
(it’s obvious that the balcony specifically annoys me)
Why do they have a million songs right after each other?.. why don’t they just decide on one or two and actually enjoy them?
Why do they drink juice from the same glass and actually pose for pictures during it? What does sharing juice mean?
Why do they cut the cake together?
Why do they feed each other cake? Are they trying to make sure that they just married someone who shares food?
Why does the groom’s family make the bride take off her jewelry and make the groom dress her in his “gift” in front of all these people? (is it me or is taking very expensive jewelry in public not fun/safe?)
Why does the groom hang out for a million years in the wedding knowing that all the women there (other than his immediate relatives and wife) are quite uncomfortable?
Why are the women uncomfortable that the groom is hanging out at his own wedding and just want him to leave so that they can act naturally again?
Why does the singer choose such sad songs for people to dance on at such a happy event, and people actually do “enjoy” dancing to it? (specific song in mind: “sub7anoh”)
Why do brides put such an emphasis on the wedding photographs if 90% of the pics are of her and her groom? Is she afraid to forget what he looks like? What she looks like? What the dress (that she most probably will keep forever) looks like?
Why is the music so loud? Didn’t anyone ever tell the “singers” that loud music is actually more annoying than it is an incentive to dance?
Why is there this little “runway” which they want guests to dance on? What if someone gets caught in the moment and falls off it?
Why do the singers attempt to “remix” the songs by adding a wanna-be rap/”we will rock you” beat at the beginning?
Why do they serve dinner at 3 am? Is it normal to have dinner at 3 am? Breakfast maybe?
And the final question:
If weddings last for soooooo long (they roughly finish at 5 or 6 am), when do the bride and groom get to sit together and actually celebrate that they got married??

my mother once got a wedding invitation where it was mentioned that the wedding will start at 9 pm and zaffa will be at 12 mid night!
too bad my mom didn't attend that wedding..i so wanted to ask her how was it like lol
But lemme guess, you still had a blast? ;)
Saudi weddings (at least the ones I attended) are the most unbelievably long and boring affairs. When I attended the first one I was invited to, I made the mistake of thinking that if the invitation read 9 pm, then one should arrive a little before that time in order to be on time!
Instead, I sat and sat and sat (I knew only the bride--and well, she wasn't there to socialize) as I watched hundreds of women slowly arrive over many hours. And eating at 3 am? What is up with that?
I attended one wedding (an al saud wedding) which had released birds into the hotel room which was packed with real and artificial trees and flowers--the idea was to imitate a garden (this was at the Riyadh Hilton) --the jewels and the gowns were so over the top, they were positively gaudy.
I never saw anyone having a blast. They were very stiff and formal affairs for the most part. Not celebratory at all....
ahmed: almost everyone writes that on the card.. what actually happens is another story :)
DP: LOL.. yeah.. it's actually one of the few that i did.. tons of my friends were there..
geshtinanna: welcome to my blog! someone should've "Warned" you. i myself once went to a wedding at 10 pm and i was the first one there!! (even before her own relatives!!).. i DO have fun at weddings sometimes; especially when i'm with my friends and in the mood to dance.
p!nk: totally agree with waste of money (most of the time), but not all are boring!
WW: i'm not judging; i just need an explanation (and to vent a little!).. good luck on your wedding.. and inshallah we'll all have so much fun!
why WHY??
why should there be a REASON for every god dammn single thing u mentioned??? as long as everybodys happy (as u mentioned) why should we have an explanation for other people axns to be HAPPY?

anonymous: let's wait and see :P
