It depends on the country. Saudi Arabia doesn't even let women leave their homes alone.

P. Ali's wedding seems to be just days before the Crown Prince of Brunei's wedding on September 9. I'm sure the JRF will be "expected" to attend since the Sultan of Brunei and all his sons attended CP Hamzah's wedding in May.

I think you will find that P. Basma and her family will be there. They are good frinds of the Sultan of Brunei, so maybe they will represent the family. But I thought it was later in September. But maybe I am wrong.

They look sooooo cute together. i love the photos! does this mean that there isn't going to be a party? so disappointing...i was looking forward to another wedding celebration....it would have been another chance to see the JRF and maybe other royals who would have attended. However, the idea of handing out food and other basic needs to Jordanian people in place of a wedding is a very sweet thing to do. very heart warming... Congrats to the couple

regarding these mga or mota photos from the company in paris:
obviously they have some 'in' with haya and ali and i don't mind that. but the pose that rym is striking is similar to some of haya's poses. so the photos look kinda eerry in that 'high school yearbook' way where everyone has their head tilted in the same direction.

Prince Ali cancels wedding bash to help poor
1 SEPTEMBER 2004
 Jordan's Prince Ali has decided to cancel his wedding reception and give the money to the country's needy instead.
King Abdullah's half-brother, who got engaged to former CNN reporter Rym Brahimi last April, is planning to make his vows next Tuesday. But instead of staging a banquet to mark the big day, they will use the money set aside to help feed some of Jordan's poorest communities.
"The wishes of Ali ibn al-Hussein and Miss Rym Brahimi are not to hold a wedding reception," revealed the royal palace. "Therefore His Majesty King Abdullah II, the dean of the Hashemite family has ordered the distribution of food aid to 1,000 poor families over the next six months. Food distribution will begin today in the governorates and (Palestinian refugee) camps."
The gesture will come as a surprise to royal watchers, but the couple is already well-known for their commitment to social causes. During her time as CNN's Baghdad correspondent, Rym earned a reputation as one of the broadcaster's most dedicated reporters.
News of their decision comes hot on the heels of Abdullah and Rania's announcement that they are to become parents for the fourth time. The king and queen of Jordan announced on Monday they are expecting their new arrival next March
A very kind and generous gesture on the part of Ali and Rym!

Yes, I agree. But did he actually cancel a ceremony or just not plan one in the first place? I wonder. . .

Good point. It would be interesting to know if he cancelled the ceremony or just didn't plan one to begin with.

My spies in the souk say the latter. There is however going to be big Bedouin bash in the Palace, and then a private party. I think it is only the formal reception that is not happening.

Hmmm. So should we all be less impressed with the food donation gesture?! I'm so confused about the elaborate nature of Jordanian weddings. So many steps in the process, so many festivities.
