Wedding Wishes

ahmed_me

My cousin Ahmed al-Haddad is getting married tonight, and the whole family is excited about the wedding. Since he is just three years older than me, I have known him for almost my entire life. During that time, he wasn’t only my cousin, but also a good friend of mine and one of the role models that I look up to in the family. Words cannot describe what an intelligent, generous and warmhearted person that he is. Tonight, as Ahmed starts a new chapter in his life, I want to dedicate this post to him and wish him and his wife Ruqaia all the best on their wedding. Here’s to many, many years of happiness and memories.

UPDATE: here is the wedding photo. More photos from the wedding will be uploaded to my Ikbis account soon ishallah.

    Roba, one piece is missing from the first photo and you can find it now in the new photo. This black cloak is called bisht.

    JILL, I’m blushing ;-) Thanks.

    Fouad, you like that Ghotra on me, don’t you? :-)

    hajia, I’m confused, I don’t know what you’re talking about anymore.

    Jaleel, wish you were there, it was a great wedding.

    [...] This picture of me is unusual because I’m wearing thobe and ghotra instead of the usual jeans and t-shirt. The other thing is that I’m not wearing glasses; I was wearing contact lenses for the first time. The picture was taken by my brother Abdullah during my cousin’s wedding last summer. [...]
