When I got the links, the pictures were much smaller. However, the way the pictures came the first time I saw them is the way we all see them now.

If this sounds confusing, pardon me since I'm excited to see these pictures!

I love the pic where Rym is signing her marriage contract...She looks so sweet...and her dress is amazing...

By the way, what kind of dress rania is wearing..she looks ridiculous to me...Lol

I would admit that I like the color of the dress; however, I do agree that the dress she is wearing isn't the best.

This is the first wedding photo!

Oh, but it's rather sad that there are no parents for P. Ali. :(

And she's a left hander, like me! :)

Seeing the picture with Rym's mother and Haya, I have decided I do like her dress. She looks pretty.

Yes, I agree...

I am sorry, but Rym's dress is not flattering whatsoever. It is soooooooooo masculine. The top could double for a miltary jacket. The shirt doesn't soften the look. She is in no way feminine in my opinion, especially given that it is her wedding day. I would have preferred Rym to trade her attire,"Moroccan style," for what Rania has on today. It wouldn't hurt for Rania to put on some cloths for once; Rym has on enough today for the both of them. lol

I think that dress is a version of a Circassian dress. P. Ali is known to have apassion for all things Circassian. but I agree, perhaps a traditional North African caftan would have looked better. Although I am not sure quite what an Algerican caftan is like. The bride's mother is clearly wearly a Moroccan one.

There is such a total lack of senior family men, which leads me to think that perhaps they were not invited ? Nor any male cousins.......

[paloma]

It is her(Rym) day and her choice. She is utterly beaming and that is what counts most. I'm impressed that neither she nor the bride of Prince Hamzah caved and wore couture western style dresses. I love their traditional choices.

[Ipi Tombe]

i agree with you paloma. i love the traditional dresses. very discreet and classy.

[papillon]

I'm glad they didn't choose Western couture dresses, too. Those aren't the only beautiful clothes in the world.

Ali's passion for Circassian things is understandable. His mother, the late Queen Alia, was of Circassian descent, not Palestinian as has been reported in the media. The Tuqan/Touqan clan are Circassians who settled in the West Bank. I think Rym's choice of dress was beautiful. I wish them lifelong happiness together.
