Prince Hamzah of Jordan & Princess Noor: August 2003 & May 2004

[pdas1201]

the parade has started.......

 

[Humera]

yep...i can see it
Noor is wearing a white dress

 

[madonna23]

i can barely make out noor's dress...so there are people in the crowds...but not as much as there were at abdullah and rania's...in fact, it's much less...

does this mean the wedding is over??

 

[pdas1201]

no, they are now showing the reception area.....

 

[pdas1201]

all the royals are waiting over there.....I can't wait for the royal couple to get there

 

[pdas1201]

I see the wedding cake, it is set atop a bridge on the fountain....

 

[Humera]

some pictures of royals arriving:

Duchess of Luxembourg

Sultan of Brunei

 

[Humble]

- Yes not so many people are in the streets..
- Me surprised: I saw people crossing the street in front of the royal parade..
- We did not see the arrival of the guests
- Almost no comment so far while all this is aired

 

[Humera]

they just showed a glimpse of the guests.
also, quite a few people in the streets now.
Noor and Hamzah stood up and waved a few times

 

[pdas1201]

I see the prince and princess are holding hands................that is sooooooooo sweet......

 

[silver charm]

The reception looks like a convention of executives. Not very 'wedding-y'.

 

[pdas1201]

I kinda a feel that way too....even about the parade, it feels more like a dignatories reception rather than a wedding procession..

 

[NOBODYME]

[pdas1201]

[silver charm]

opps false alarm.

 

[silver charm]

in case anyone cares...i love men in suits and men in dishdashas. but the suit/uniform with ghoutra (headscarf) just crackes me up.

can someone keep translating what they say in arabic for those of us who don't know the language...
thanx

 

[silver charm]

okay so are they going to arrive from the parade and walk down the red carpet and then what??????

is there going to be a dinner or dancing (possibly traditional dancing)

everyone's attire at the reception is VERY casual (at least compared to Dubai standards)

 

[madonna23]

can anyone make out the people at the reception...i just see a blur of faces.

 

[pdas1201]

not necessarily i saw some ladies and gents with evening gowns and tuxedos receptively......

 

[silver charm]

yep, but no one that important. it looks like a holiday reception at the local Chamber of Commerce.

 

[silver charm]

sorry haven't seen the gowns and tuxs-just plenty of pantsuits.

 

[pdas1201]

 

[madonna23]

okay...i feel stupid asking this question but the music is just the tv's doing right...are they playing that music at the reception?

 

[madonna23]

not many people at the reception as well...hmmmmmmmm.........what exactly did the wedding planner plan? i was expecting something out of the ordinary

 

[silver charm]

they are now playing the reception music (bagpipes) the singing was from the tv channel

 

[madonna23]

i have not seen any gowns...just thobes and suits...so far...

 

[pdas1201]

boy, its taking long for them to come, i think i saw the guards in the front of the couple's car pass by the castle a while back...mmm
