Well actually, when I was young, like 10 years old, my brothers got engaged and they had a wedding, a big wedding. They married on the same day. They had a big, huge wedding, like over 500 persons. We invited not just 500, 500 in the women’s section. In the men’s section, there were another 500. Well it was really difficult for us to manage this wedding for me and my mother and my sister, because we organized everything in it. We organized the dinner, the music, how the guests will go in, how they should go out, the gates, where the women should take off their abaya. And there was a lot of details and things we need to take care of it. And we have to also put in mind that there are 500 guests, so we need to organize it in the way that no one affects the other one. It was really okay, good and happy, but I think it’s fun and enjoyable for the guests more than the weddings and the family. The groom and bride families, it’s hard for them to make sure that every guest has his own coffee and drinks and they all have a great time. So we have to make sure of it. But of course it’s very cute and very enjoyable. It’s very valuable and it has care until now.

Well, actually, when I was young, around 10 years old, my brothers got engaged and had a wedding, a big wedding. They married on the same day. It was a huge wedding, with over 500 people. We invited not just 500; there were 500 in the women's section and another 500 in the men's section. It was really difficult for my mother, my sister, and me to manage this wedding because we organized everything. We arranged the dinner, the music, how the guests would enter, how they should exit, the gates, and where the women should take off their abayas. There were a lot of details and things we needed to take care of. We also had to keep in mind that there were 500 guests, so we needed to organize it in a way that no one affected the other. It was really good and happy, but I think it was more fun and enjoyable for the guests than for the families of the bride and groom. It was hard for them to ensure that every guest had their coffee and drinks and that everyone had a great time. We had to make sure of that. But, of course, it was very cute and enjoyable. It was very valuable and is still cherished to this day.
