I didn't mean to.<BR/><BR/>What I meant by the unnecessary and pompous spending is when the families (particularly the bride's) ensure that the event isn't just a wedding, it's when they get to flex their financial muscle (and the groom's, even if he ends up repaying his debts for years) in front of il mujtama3. what's ironic is that over the past few years, during which I've relatively extended my social network , i've seen these kind of marriages end spectacularly early, and funnily enough, their break-ups receive just as much social attention..<BR/><BR/>My observation, and the conclusion of my relative and his american wife-to-be, a marriage is a day for the couple to enjoy.. not for the viewing or eating pleasure of the distant relatives and family friends who don't even bother asking about your well-being, let alone being genuinely happy for you.<BR/><BR/>Once again, sorry if was offensive at all. el 3afu.<BR/><BR/>RegardsLittle Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702132422411804440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187844220506818437.post-35918111085617013052007-06-04T01:52:00.000-07:002007-06-04T01:52:00.000-07:00dear Iraqi Medic, Indeed, in this time, fotos r ma...dear Iraqi Medic, <BR/><BR/>Indeed, in this time, fotos r maybe the most valuable present one can receive, as we r all apart and never get to b present in eachother's occasions.. <BR/>regards..Yasmin (Blanche)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08629405064530087713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187844220506818437.post-58511579811388770122007-06-04T01:51:00.000-07:002007-06-04T01:51:00.000-07:00dear little penguin, my freind had all the things ...dear little penguin, <BR/>my freind had all the things i ve mentioned in my post in just One Ghaada.. it was not to show off, i thought it was nice that ppl abroad try to re-live the rituals they r used to back home, and i for myself blv this is somethink good, not superficial and unnecessary..i think it is necessary, it brings more joy to the event.. <BR/>in any case u r free when u decide to tie the knot, i hope u find yr soul mate..an iraqi (tabaan)..<BR/>regards.. <BR/>PS: how r yr exams going? best of luck .Yasmin (Blanche)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08629405064530087713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187844220506818437.post-78870191749299681882007-06-03T23:17:00.000-07:002007-06-03T23:17:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.3eeraqimedichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10365524866250384975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187844220506818437.post-19556833225291360412007-06-03T19:18:00.000-07:002007-06-03T19:18:00.000-07:00of course youm il eli! lolI cant wait till I tie t...of course youm il eli! lol<BR/><BR/>I cant wait till I tie the know on a beautiful Iraqiya who'll go back with me to Iraq to help restore the country's glory.<BR/><BR/>The thing is, I dont think I'll have all the swaani and shmoo3 and mesqool and stuff. It's not that I'm too 'modern' for those stuff, I just dont feel they're part of what I've been brought up to know as a marriage.. I've heard of the 7 gallabiyat the bride wears during a special part of the wedding.. exactly which part I have no idea.. everytime I hear of a wedding I realise there's more stages.. mashaya (or sharbet), khutba, 3aqid (the 7 gallabiyat stage I think), henna, and then the actual wedding and then something and awooo.. it goes on forever.. It's so unnecessary.. so much money and time.. just too superficial.. I know most people do it just to say "we did everything there is to do, unlike Um Sara who only did 2 parties".. you know what I mean?<BR/><BR/>anyways.. congratulations for your friend's mahar (wait, that's another stage I didn't mention! lol) and inshallah we all celebrate something or other very soon..<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>P.S: It's very strange that you post this today, because I had just come back from an hour-long discussion about a relative's wedding and how he wants it and who's gonna be there.. he's marrying an American so it's not gonna be as Iraqi as some would like.. who cares, they're happy! :)Little Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702132422411804440noreply@blogger.com
