ALf MaBrOoOoK



Marriage is a true turning point in someone's life. in our culture, it's the day where the girl leaves her father's house to a completely new house and people. While for the guy, Its the day where his family receives a new family member. Back home, as usual, we spend a lot of money on this night, more than what an average person in UK would spend in years!. Its true that because its one very special night, spending so much money might make it extra special and rememberable, at least for the groom ( maybe rememberable but not in a good way lol ). Its also part of our Arabian tradition and generosity to do the best you can for your guests. On the other hand, one might say you can be generous and kind to your guests without having to spend that much. For example, do we really have to throw away that much food just to show people how generous we are! Or is it part of our tradition and culture to pay so much for makeup, wedding dress and photographers?! In my opinion, we should be reasonable, we should spend and make it look perfect, but we shouldn't over spend on silly non-necessary things or food which gets wasted!.

However, its not mine yet, so lets wish them all the good luck and a very happy life full with joy and fun.
