Ben and I were invited to the wedding party of a niece of one of the guys we work with. Unfotunately we arrived a bit late, but we still had time to some a nargileh or two and Ben had a go at Arabic dancing – it may have been called the debka.
The poor bride was celebrating on her own because her new husband lives in another country. They did the formal bit of the wedding a little while ago, but he couldn't afford to fly over for the party. He did call her though, which was quite sweet.

Oh dear, the poor bride. I had thought that the groom was a rather essential part of the wedding process – apparently not! Maybe the whole wedding/marriage thing wouldn't be so bad after all……
Tut tut Heather. They do a formal bit together – this was just the party. But I get your point! x
