wow
where r the mullahs of middle east now? :D the bride showing so much skin in the presence of so many na mehrams .. tisk tisk.
its wrong to lump the arabs together in one homogenous group. the gulf states for instance tend not to have weddings this way. by the looks of it this is an egyptian/syrian/lebanese/jordanian wedding.

Darn it Suroor. You made me click on photos.
looks more of a lebanese christian arabs wedding to me....
u shud try to be careful and avoid making stereotypes....
please dont be naive.
i happen to know from experience that these sorts of marriages are typical to certain arab countries, and are part of the culture of both christian and muslim people.

you are right and this is a muslim wedding. I have been to a few arab weddings and some are not that wealthy and still have grand weddings like these.
swanky....
armughal needs to go out more often.. "Arab world" doesn't always imply a desert kingdom with misogynist tendencies..

If armughal went outside... he'd find himself in the middle of a bunch of arabs. As I understand, he has been born in and raised in an Arab country, and as I understand, he is a citizen of an Arab country, and I believe that he would know the Arabs better than any most Guppies here.
i know where he was born and lives.. which is why i recommended he see the rest of the Arab world.. not all 'Arabs' were nomads, struck oil and landed from their camel into the Chevy.. some went through evolution.
Looks pretty much like a church wedding with similar outfits, cake and setting you'd find anywhere in US, UK or wherever. Looks like a fairly expensive bash as well.

my MUSLIM arab, persian and turkish friends wear the same outfits
Good for them :k:
There’s no law against it, I was just pointing out that it’s pretty much same as you’d find in most church weddings in the western hemisphere, not just arab weddings.
I've always wondered why arabs, turks and persians adopted Western-style weddings. I mean, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Indian Muslims traditionally have wedding similar in styling to hindu weddings, but that is because of the way Muslim and Hindu society evolved side-by-side and borrowed from each other over hundreds of years.
How comes arabs, turks, and persians seem to have suddenly adopted western-style weddings? How did an arab wedding look 300, 200 and 100 years ago?
Probably a nice new outfit that was like normal clothes and could be worn again...just like it was in America.
The white wedding dress is a fairly recent phenomena...about 100 years ago and only then for the wealthy.
I agree with Xtreme. Whats the differnce between these pics and those of any everyday christian wedding in US or Europe. Maybe the only dude missing is a priest, but the dresses, the cake, the walk hand-in-hand, the dancing.. its all the same in these pics.
I am not saying its good or bad. Just that it look exactly the same. The few Arab weddings I have seen were totally different, with Arabic dances, segregation of men and women, and the dresses were Arabic. But then, as armughal mentioned first, all arabs are not the same. Obviously there seems a big difference between the cultures in Arabic states in the East and those in the West.
so boring and dull...
Desi weddings are much better...

heck no, they are not boring at all. if anything not boring
faisal i've been to my share of arab weddings and they ALL wear white, and at times it was not mixed but it is always arabic music and arabic dancing which is funnnnnnnnn :D
I went to an Arab/ Turkish wedding a few months ago..
They had arranged a Belly dancer and a Belly dance show, and everything that goes with it.. Like throwing with money and all!
And all families were present.
