On yesterday evening I had the opportunity to
attend a Sudanese wedding. It was my first wedding of Sudan descendants. I was
able to attend the wedding because my friend, Jennifer, is a friend of the
bride’s brother. As well, she song a few selections on that evening. I was surprised
that the wedding in mixed genders. However, it was strange at the same time as
the men were on the left side of the banquet hall and the women on the right.
As well, the men and women ate at separate times. The men ate first and then
the women ate.
After everyone partook of the food. It was
time for the bride and groom to do their formal appearance. I do think it’s
important to mention if you have not read my UAE blog that all of the legal and
religious documents have already been taken care of. The bridge, groom, their
parents and the Sheikh or Imam officiating has already sat and agreed on terms
and files the document. The wedding is simply a formality and signifies that
the bride will now go to live with her groom. I will allow the video to provide
you with details of how it all took place. Yes, I was able to take video as
well. Isn’t that something? The first Arab wedding that I could video.
