Just another wedding story
I found my knight in shining armour tonight. . . . ok.. no, I was somewhere more depressing than that.
I just came back from a Syrian/Lebanese wedding. It was a huge one too. So, in the beginning ,when the groom’s and bride’s family and friends were giving the speeches, a different perspective of the groom was suddenly addressed.
In Muslim weddings, usually there is Quran recitations, Islamic moral thoughts, and best of wishes are given. That’s exactly what happened. . . . . . . then, the groom’s best man, a non-Arab non-Muslim gave his speech in the end, and I was like.. yep.. a truthful man addressing typical Arab behaviour.
The best man talked about the groom and how great he is, then he talked about his style and personality and then said, “Don’t ever mess with this guy’s hair. Even when we were clubbing and going all out, don’t ever mess with his hair. We had good times in clubs and stuff and that’s how we got to know him all these years.”
I was looking around left and right. Is anyone listening here? The 95% of Arabs/Muslims in this hall? The family, extended family? Etc.. ??? Am I the only one paying attention?
Then I thought, oh well, people are becoming more honest now a days. It is nice I suppose.
Moreover, when I saw the bride and groom more closely, and hearing that they also went to my high school with certain people I knew, I realized, no way. They are my age!! I knew I seen them before!
What a small world.

First of them, I wish to the couple good luck for their common life.
In bief, what to say? Sincerity is a virtue and I think the best boy did right thing
You said world is small? Just last Friday, I was surprised to find that a man working in a company that’s our customer used to be a colleague during primary school. What shocked me is that he remembered my name while me not. I felt ashamed
About wedding topic, I found myself until very early morning today editing wedding video my mum brang to me. I’m sad she stayed just for 1 day. Thank you saturday 1st may
I don’t remember people’s names at all. I remember faces though!
congrats 2 them n may God bless them n keep them happy
…..mona did any1 say anything when the best man was talking about there clubing ? lol n in muslim weddings the groom has a best man ?
@Charlie
u’d be surprised of the things arabs/muslims do here. They got best-man, bride mates, etc..
oh thats pretty cool i guess
They say that weddings are great places to meet men…isn’t that also true at Arab wedding?
hey mona..i read ur blogs all the time but never commented…anway am commenting today….i like the idea of people becoming more honest..its good but i still think people are two-faced now a days…there are certain things they will be blunt about it..but not certain issues or facts..!!
I know Arabs have a variety of types of weddings, but I wasn’t aware there was a best man at arab weddings.
