Wow! You must be really lucky to attend this wedding Dazzling!
The invites are beautiful. Its funny because my cousins wedding invitation was not exactly but semi close to that. It had Bismillah popping out and its was lavendar as was her wedding though

btw congratulations to both of them i hope they will have a wonderfull day at the second of october.. Enjoy the wedding Dazzling

yes enjoy the wedding Dazzling:flowers:
Nasser is Sheikha Sabika son?

No, Sheikh Nasser is from the second wife, her name is Sheiha, the groom and brides mothers names are both on the invitation.

Oct 2nd is the actual wedding for both of them?? i think one gets married 1st then another...??? (confused)

congrat's to both of them. They deserve each other.

It's going to be a big wedding, lucky Dazzling.

True, a really small party where only close family of the groom and the bride attened, usually takes place on the mens lunch later that day as a dinner.

Pictures of the weddings wont be released by any of the public or guests since cameras and mobile phones with cameras arent allowed at weddings (they are taken away as you enter, on the card they leave a small note as well and most weddings in the UAE unless they allow it). We might get a few picture on the interior of the wedding or ballroom.

So the 2nd of October is the actual wedding day? I had heard that it would be the engagement day.. weird.

Wow Dazzling, I hope you enjoy the wedding, but if you don't mind me asking.. do you know the family? How come you are invited? Your so lucky! :)

Dazzling, you are very lucky! Do you know the bride and groom?

That invitation is one of the most beautiful wedding invitations I have ever seen. Is the first photo a carrier bag for the invitation?

Yes, usually there are private photographers and people who take videos as well, they do not take any pictures of the guests unless the guests do ask but then unless they are very close friends they wont get the picture. Pictures stay very private unless either one wants to publish.

First photo is the bag carrier, its quite simple but very artistic.

I know the bride's family, I also know some relatives of the groom. I might not say much simply because I do respect their private lives.

The actual wedding day is I think September 28 (thats when the groom signs the wedding book) and when the small private wedding takes place.
October 2 is the wedding where all family and friends are invited to. I think you can call that the actual wedding.

I wish them a happy life. Does anybody know, how long they have been engaged?

About 2 or so years, they were both quite young when they engaged.
There was no engagement ceremony, just talk between the two families.
