I’m Married!

Well, not technically!

I had my Milkah last Thursday. It’s a well-known event/concept to Saudis and their neighbouring gulf countries but not so much to the rest of the world.

It’s when you have a party, you get your marriage certificate and you have all the rights and obligations of a husband/wife. However, you don’t get to go on a honeymoon or go to your own home. You do those things after an actual “wedding” party that usually takes place a couple of months later.

I know. Pretty complex, eh?

Anyhow, we had a big party in Intercontinental Hotel. Friends and family were in attendance and we danced the night away. Everything went perfectly alhamdillah. We got the video footage and pictures tonight and everything looked amazing. The most common comment I was and still getting is that it was a very fun night for everyone which is exactly what we hoped it would be! God knows we had our share of fun!

Too bad the weekend passed too quickly and we went back to work on Saturday.

A lot of things are taking place and my mind and time are very occupied. More updates later, hopefully.
